I have the Super Sport 5800 brushless system for my Traxxas Stampede, and the HV maxx for my Traxxas E-maxx. I live where there is snow all winter and needed to do some bashing. But not long after they were in the snow the Electronic Speed controls fried in a poof of stinky smoke.
I even put waterproof silicone around the HV maxx and it still didn’t keep out moisture. I have heard about securing a balloon around the ESC, but that would prevent the fan form circulating the air and would therefore overheat the ESC anyway.
What should I do? Anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do to better waterproof my RC trucks?
Thanks.
