    I think I told you that you would start to break that plastic stuff early.
    As for water, pretty sure your servo is toast

    I know some brands list/say waterproof, water resistant, or what ever, but the FACT remains, electronics and water don't mix well. Well, maybe in a boat, but even there, they are not directly introduced to water.

    On the water proof topic

    I am debating whether or not a coating would work if sprayed on all electronics and anything else water sensitive

    Like this stuff
    http://www.neverwet.com/

    I am kind of wondering if I can coat my esc, battery, motor, and anything else really that I feel like with it

    There are some videos on their website that have them coating phones with it and dropping them in buckets of water and having them come our dry

    I've seen such vids, on some cell sites. I'm skeptical, I'm not intentionally putting any of my electronics in water, period. Are willing to take that risk? I did, however, see a guy get pushed in the pool last year with a Droid something or the other in his pocket, then thinking the worst, tossed it BACK in the pool, for several seconds, and it still works to this day.
