I decided to do some waterproofing on my CR-01 because it seems like I am always playing with down the road at the creek. A good friend on mine told me about these boxes at Radio Shack.

This is the one I had to get because my Rooster speed control is over 1 inch tall and wouldn't fit into a smaller box. This box was a little to long to fit in the rear of my truck so using a miter box and saw I was able to cut 1 inch out of the middle of it. Since the miter box helped me to make two perfect cuts I was able to glue the halves back together with ease. This is what it turned out to be.
You can see the line in the box where it was cut. I then used some clear sisicone to seal it up where the wires come out and then I mounted the on/off switch as high up as possible.
As for the servo, I coated it with several coats of liquid tape. It has been submerged several times now and is still working fine.

What about motor care after running it in water?
