Hobbywing ESC Not Sealed at All

[sandblaster]

If you have Hobbywing ESC, take note.

After loosing a Hobbywing esc from water, have decided to al least splash proof with Corrosion X. First one to pull apart find the silicone gasket between the base and the top not even close to correct. No wonder lost the first to water. Thinking all the rest will get a wrap of black electric tape on the seam along with treating of Corrosion X and dielectric grease at fan connector and other spots. We are stuck indoor due to very heavy forest fire smoke. Our rain is very late and we are suffering. Good project for the weather. Then when it does rain can find outside play time without worry.

Which category of ESC from Hobbywing are we talking about i.e., EZRun, XeRun, or Quicrun?

Any and all that are screwed together and not glued or waterproof. This one is a Max 8.

XR8 not Max 8

Oh, never mind. Looking at the title of thread, I thought you were complaining about a waterproof ESC not being waterproof.
