    @Reaper8520 Yes, you cannot run a lipo too low on voltage. Also, if you exceed the ESC’s voltage input, or it needs an external BEC (refer to your owners manual), then you could fry the ESC. The ESC could have also been faulty and some of the high powered systems can fry upon initial turn on. If you had a fully charged pack and the cells on the lipo were within the norm for that ESC then contact the manufacturer.

    Is there a limit to how long you can run rc with a lipo, My scrt 10 esc turned into flames this weekend on the first battery i put in.( It is a Brushless system)

  4. Squirrelod on March 30, 2010 at 4:44 pm

  5. stevesnow007 on March 30, 2010 at 5:13 pm

    can i do this whit the novak hv pro because is not the same size and dimention ?

  6. 161460joseluis on March 30, 2010 at 5:30 pm

    can i just use the spray

  7. motabikeboy on March 30, 2010 at 6:06 pm

    when it dries it is a rubberized solid and doesnt short out the whole circuit

  8. motabikeboy on March 30, 2010 at 6:45 pm

    okay, this will be apllied onto the electronics and then dry out and it is rubber so it doesnt conduct electricity. when there isnt any seeling on it and water goes though it, it shorts out the WHOLE circuit and dies.

  9. Squirrelod on March 30, 2010 at 7:21 pm

    That works for some. But, others want more torque, speed, etc. So, this method will still hold true for a lot of people.

    i just brought a traxxas waterproof servo instead

  11. DMercier82 on March 30, 2010 at 8:38 pm

    i have a traxxas XL-1 esc, will i use the same steps as in this video?

  12. Squirrelod on March 30, 2010 at 9:27 pm

    Only if you want to permanently seal the ESC. I dont recommend it.

  13. liljweaszel2 on March 30, 2010 at 9:49 pm

    will GOOP work to waterproof a esc?

  14. flappyjockstrap on March 30, 2010 at 10:11 pm

    ok thanks :)

  15. Squirrelod on March 30, 2010 at 10:36 pm

    Plastic dip is a rubber.

  16. joshypoo888 on March 30, 2010 at 10:49 pm

    not only the salt water but the plasti dip is a liquid so how does it not damage???

  17. Squirrelod on March 30, 2010 at 11:20 pm

    Saltwater?

    For one- if you get a scratch on anything metal (like metal gears that mesh) will rust. In fact, most of your kit will.

    Two- salt water instantly fries components.

    Becuase of number 1 you dont want to get any kit next to salt water and especially electronics.

  18. joshypoo888 on March 30, 2010 at 11:58 pm

    what i dont understand is it is still a liquid so how does it not damage the components

  19. Squirrelod on March 31, 2010 at 12:20 am

    Dont put any RC in saltwater.

  20. flappyjockstrap on March 31, 2010 at 12:41 am

    i watched the whole seriese and was wondering if the motor and evrything saltwater proof?

  21. snowfreak207 on March 31, 2010 at 12:54 am

    i found it helpful doing this use a led flash light to look it over to check for spots u might have missed

  22. Apone13 on March 31, 2010 at 1:19 am

    Hi,

    Just a question… How does this liquid tape react to heat? ESC can become quite warm..

    Thanks for the video !

  23. Squirrelod on March 31, 2010 at 1:59 am

    its universal to any ESC

  24. butty41 on March 31, 2010 at 2:00 am
