Exclamation Finally!

hey i think i finally found a way to waterproof your electonics. first off silicone sucks. once you put a layer on the car it doesn't burn off so you can put more on or fix whatever you need to. and when water finds the little holes it has the water stays in and fries your electronics. i found a can of brake quieting spray in my garage and got to thinking, my dad uses this to stop corrosion on battery terminals i wonder if it will work... so i grabbed the can and ran like a bat out of hell to my "workshop" (a.k.a. my kingdom of electronics and fire) and started spraying one of my semi working set of electronics and let it dry. first off this stuff doesn't dry. it is sticky. it does dry a little though. i put some tape on the bottom fets so that they will still have contact with the heatsink and let it sit in water overnight with batteries on it and the electonics on. well the next day after detention i went home and put some fresh batteries in and the electronics still work. well... at least the motor. the steering is what was wrong with them. i cant wait until i get some new electonics. finally ill have an invincible xmod.

What you need:
electronics
tape ( used scotch tape electrical tape might be better)
CRC Disk Brake Quiet

What to do:
1. take the electronics to your "workshop" if you dont have one go outside.
2. spray the CRC Disk Brake Quiet on every part of the PCB BOARDS dont spray the wires. it is ok to spray the crystal plug as long as you spray over it and not into it.
3. let dry overnight, in morning it should be sticky.
4. put in XMOD and enjoy your water proof XMOD.
