[alaneabd]

[theItchysand]

medic for my first real rc crawler should i have a honcho

[bajavas21]

smth about waterproofing ESC... wont that plasti dip layer trap heat in tranzistors what will lead it to overheat?

[djmedic2008]

@bajavas21 That is why you leave the fins, or the heat posts exposed

[bajavas21]

@djmedic2008 silly me, that 'radiator' is actually covering all transistors, sorry for stupid question.

[djmedic2008]

@bajavas21 Never a dumb question bro.. GLAD YOU ASKED! 

[TheBlinky126]

what about a rc buggy is it the same:)

[dfawfzx]

Medic, somewhere in the video you mentioned clean water. Does this mean a setup like this cannot work in sea water?

[jimbojones1978]

awesome vid mate very informative thumbs up bud

[TheMorelHunter4Life]

hey medic my on and off switch is broken should i cut it off and twist it toghter

[Alwzdwn44130]

google bearings..... okkkk. medic you tha man!

[dragonx25000]

hey medic is the scx10 a goo truck I'm think about that or a cc-o1 cus it cheaper then the scx10 but might get the scx10 I'm just look for an opinion

[atvriderman17]

hello, i was just wondering where do u get your parts from? thanks. BTW i love your videos!

[SuperGamingUniverse]

how do you make a waterproof container?

[bunceybear]

i have a question about the servo once you have plasti-dipped it. Do you need to beak the seal around the spline coming out of it where you put the o-ring in? i know that after that (if you do need to do that) the o-ring will keep the servo gears sealed off from anywayer but it seems like the plasti-dip will seise the out going spline. is this correct?

[cowboy23134]

hey medic what would the best battery to get for that model of the honcho

[MrDirtbikemaniac]

7:25 epic thats what she said XD

[mcvaluemenu]

your awesome!

[AK907finch]

do you do like traxxas revo 3.3 water profing stuff?

[Theg4challenge]

hi medic im a newby so i just got this truck that u talkin about just thinkin about the winch for it can it be used with the standard controller that u get with it or do i need to get a atatchment for it ,ps plasti dip rules ni just watched every vid u got now seeing stars lol nice uploads thanks to u i know alot more about rc crawling gunna go n water proof it like u show

[rcoffroaddrive123]

medic u helped alot tomarrow ill head to the hobby store and purchase some plasti dip and marine grease and water proof my car

[codmodwod]

hey medic can i get thoes leads on the reciver at pmhobbycraft?

thanks

[hoobiestores]

Take the hat off!

[speedmotorsport]

Hey DJ, the marine grease is tops as you use and show, a little tip for o-rings and some soft plastics, rubber grease is a better product and wont cause some types of orings to swell, and cause bind, or actually swell and become ineffective. Not saying the type of marine grease you use would, but the Castrol Rubber grease is the bomb.

Top vids, love how you dont take things too seriously, but seriously take your hobby !

[TheRCcarDUDE]

There was like 30 that's what she saids

[djmedic2008]

@TheRCcarDUDE Doing my best to Keep ya entertained bro.. Glad you enjoyed it :-)

[RCcarsNtrucks]

@TheRCcarDUDE 30 twss in a 34 min. vid means 1 twss per minute. dang

[jwlarkin01]

medic I love your videos i think they are the best i wish i could have all of you rc's. once i saw your videos i have been addicted to them. wish you were my best friend

[nilo4ever]

I think you are a bad influence on me. After seeing a clip of your mgt 8.0, i had to buy one.

After watching a bunch of you crawler movies, i went ahead and bought one of those too LOL.

Just a bought a brand new scx 10 dingo and my friend bought a wraith. Love your vids man, keep up the awesome work.

[karmakazee12]

This tutorial is good. I tried it and I have had no problems whatsoever with my RC's running through water

[Mrbombardermaniac]

[TheHoloman24]

thx very much that helped

[Jonxdekage]

dude im gonna subscribe :P Your awsome, and your high i bet you are :P

[Bw321a]

do you have to use plasti dip? or can i use any liquid electric tape?

[Robbmaz]

are brushless motors water proof?

[ItzDaNewf]

Dont force it use a bigger hammer :)

[brtjones25]

I just did this to my SCX10, It was actually pretty easy and it works very well. Just plan out your next step and make the time to do it. It took me about an hour a day in three days (lets face it, having to go to work and keeping the wife happy you only have an hour a day:)) So I did it during the week and had it ready for Saturday. Thanks for these awesome videos Medic

[srt10tom]

do the same rules apply to hair dryers and metal toasters to lol im getting 2 of these one for me and one for my dad so learning the tricks of the trade

[insomdob]

Thanks alot medic i just finished waterproofing my losi nightcrawler :-)

Happy muddin!!!!! :-)

[MobRacer22]

[1996ADRIAN1]

Is the new traxxas monster jam grave digger waterproof

[MrSnowslider]

@1996ADRIAN1 Yes, all electric Traxxas models is waterproof.

[SuperGamingUniverse]

How do you waterproof a receiver!? i see in the video, but could i just dip the circuit board into plasti dip?

[twistedsteelDK]

The hi-tec waterproof steering servo is a little bigger then the stock one. Still works but you have to remove or modify the cross member that sits right above it.

[SuperMetalman18]

i was wandering if anyone had any tips for a new beginner into the world of RC's i have some questions such as wats the best trucks,batteries,chargers,moto­rs etc.

[ussprinceton2004]

..what is the part # and where can I purchase the small o-ring that goes on the servo?..same for the receiver extensions, what is the part # and where can I purchase them?..

[SuperGamingUniverse]

@ussprinceton2004 ebay

[tyler51904]

hay djmedic2008 how do i water proof a traxxas slash 2wd brushless

[u2bwachr]

@tyler51904 its already waterproof. besides the berrings and/or bushings

[cj121971]

would you sell me the scx10 chassis that has its axles

[cj121971]

would you sell me the scx10 chassis that has its axles

[Destroyerbell]

@djmedic2008 were can you get those connections for the receiver to extend it so i can waterproof it

[SuperGamingUniverse]

@Destroyerbell ebay

[Destroyerbell]

@SuperGamingUniverse besides ebay ive gotten riped off from there a couple of times so i dont order from there anymore

[RCTech9]

dude he has such a nice beard... im not going to lie thats the only reason half the people watched this vid

[fssdude]

dose the hummer on the wall fit the Axial SCX10 RC Truck?

[miniTRUCK3RS]

bit of an odd question, one that you might not have heard, but for rc boat owners who like to be in the water with their boats, how dow you water proof the controller?

[RCdriver828]

if you dont wont to do this you can get watter proof stuff from traxxas ext then just to bearing ext

[dfmodels1]

i have esc with fan can i do the same thing ?

[dfmodels1]

good video i am going to waterproof servo and receiver :)

[RCPOWNAGE]

Hey Djmedic thanks for the great vid keep rocken them

[rctractorboy]

Do the battery lookin things above the place were the reciever wires come out need to be completely diped

[outdoorsman535]

thanks medic that was awsome now i can water resist my losi mrc thanks for the help keep the vids comeing

[cooperkid100]

You should get a 1/10 or 1/16 traxxas summit

[DriftLife100]

i have a micro losi crawler should i still put marine grease in the axles there about a inch long please get back to me medic and nice vid

[GRINDER0613]

Thank you very much MEDIC for the great video!!! You always make GREAT VIDEOS. Keep up the awesome work, we are are very appreciative to have a guy like you showing us all the little secrets of the RC world!!!

[LaneMaddox00]

im glad u put this out cuz i have ben looking for something like the plastidip for a while...guna use it to put it on the charging handle on my AK!!

[TheMudder22]

So the wraith ain't all waterproof is it? What would I need to make it waterproof? I mean what is already waterproof on it?

[Pitpointer]

hhm

[RcNickster]

So my wife just got my x-mas gift...The Axial Dingo Kit. I am super stoked to get this thing together...Yeah thats right I have to detach every single part from the plastic sheets and manually put it together. I wouldn't have it any other way. My first scale truck..so..its a great way to get to know your truck...but imagine my surprise to see Rcsparks decals for the body with it....DOUBLE BONUS...oh yeah baby...I will display them proudly..This video is has come at the perfect time..thanks

[MrZippy4444]

He Medic! MrZippy, again... :D I'm waterproofing (resisting) my escand i cant figure out how to detach the esc from the motor... Do i just pull?

Thanks!, MrZippy4444

[MrZippy4444]

Hey Medic! its MrZippy. Great video! I'm actually in the waterproofing process at the moment and this was SO helpful! Thanks! You should do a tutorial on how to paint your radio controller. Thanks again!

MrZippy4444

[justinator1999]

Nice thats what she said :0

[NoGripEd]

How about sensored motors? Do I need to waterproof them somehow?

[Idontreallycare80]

@NoGripEd Do your best to seal up everything without making it un-openable.

[TheRattleSnake3145]

I've had a rc boat mishap where the Lipo was completely under water and it didn't

explode.

It dryed out and has been fine since.

Have you had one explode that got wet?

Also, would a marine receiver be better to buy than a "normal" one?

The receiver was under water in the same incident and has also been fine since.

[326cafrank]

When u r putting the steering servo in the platinum dip how do u cover the servo horn

[326cafrank]

When u r putting to

[Bjlee2000]

U burn? Haha

[KyleLucasRC]

Hey MEDIC got a question for you. When it is all said and done do you need to "water resist" the connections? IE.... The receiver lead connections to the ESC and servo's? I am almost done with the plasti-dip but don't want to void my efforts. Thanks man RC Adventures Rule!

[idiotsfilms]

because i have a

[idiotsfilms]

losi rc raminator car do you know it

[Idontreallycare80]

@idiotsfilms yes, and he is a crawler guy, so he doesn't really care about.

[starion871]

how do u people dislike this?

[steveshlacker]

"How do I waterproof a wench?" Put a rain coat on her. POW!

[steveshlacker]

Best quote, "You never know when waters gonna go everywhere"

[STEELHORSE1975]

[nunosantossilva]

[stardocker]

Now please Share this so he doesnt have to explain it all again people. Ive watched all his water proofing and wraith upgrades. And this is the same as his water proofing just longer lol.

Thank you medic.

[alextsimard]

Thank's a lot Medic for this video !!!!!

I'll rebuild ALL my scaler with your help now and be prepared for the winter in Quebec !!!!

[EHSfootballguy31]

=) ={

[TheOasisglass]

Rough day dood......... :-))

[MRNICKFU]

good video what kind of sadering gun or pen do u us

[willcrawler]

Scaler...for 1.9 I love the g8 super swampers from pro line. When it comes to 2.2 the pit bull rock breasts are the craziest tire I have ever ran!!!!! Super soft they go throw snow like no other and rock, loose dirt, mud I broke my scx10 before they broke loose in the dirt. I did have 1.9 memory foam in them for better traction

[willcrawler]

With the AE2 esc with the on/off switch cut can you still get the to the settings manually? And wouldn't the rubber o-ring on the servo bind the servo? I like the traxxas servos but you are right about the steel gear part. I have all traxxas parts in my scx10. Thing works wonderful. It can take one heck of a beating lol

[Scaler1997]

I was wondering what would be your preferred tire choice

[TraxxasBrothers]

hey Medic, if you get rid of your camera... i'll take it :P doubt I will get it though... worth a shot! :D awesome vid btw

[dogsdogsnumbers]

dam it what happened to the hpi vid i wasn't done watching it :(

[Dylan464]

me being a mechanic and offroader ur right about the bearings and diff if u get water in itll rust out and destroy gears and bearings, u dont know how many diffs ive rebuilt or replaced after a weekend of 4x4ing

[ajwaw11]

Great video, good sense of humor.

[IMAWSOME854]

medic im going to get that as soon as my arm is recovered. then i can use my scx10!!!!!!!!!!

[TRXracerZeka95]

Another useful video! Thank you MEDiC!!

I have Traxxas Slash and bearings in good condition but I did not know how to protect it from water ((

[ScalerNSurfer]
