Is there any chance you will upload this video soon?
I really could use this ability of sealing in my project..
Thank you very much!

@palmisano Ya they do, like Savox. And there is a premade rubber coat and grease around the servo horn. look at djmedic2008 he has a better way

@palmisano Ya they do. Savox does. And the servo shaft is covered by a plastidip made seal and your suppose to put grease on the top where the horn is.

@palmisano Any ideas/other videos on being able to reach 5-6 meters? That is the depth my project needs to work at. Even if they only stayed operational for 15-20 minutes that would be satisfactory.

@rapttor4 Some RTVs corrode electronics. You need to get 'electronics grade' RTV.

Thats the worst way to water proof a servo. Warrentys gone. Havnt you heard of plastidip

@MegaRallycar Plastidip modifies the servo dimensions, which is bad for tight dimensions. That said, Plastidip doesn't waterproof the servo shaft - water can still easily get in. Also, servos don't have warranties =P

What kind of depth can you expect to reach successfully with this waterproofing method?

@m116252 I never really tested depth, but I'd say a meter or so. I have a new method but I haven't uploaded the video - I've been too busy. It allows 3-4 meters (again, an estimate).
