spraying down electronics
 

I got some dirt inside my ESC and reciever. Problem is it was wet dirt, and now its rock hard and wont come out with air.

can I spray the crap out of it with electrical contact cleaner?

why not just open the case of the ESC and receiver and then clean it up with an electronic contact cleaner?!?

That is what I do with my electronics...

Good day!

Definatly take it apart and use electronic parts cleaner and not electrical contact cleaner. Pick up somthing that is safe to use on computer boards at an eletronic supply store. Make shure it is good and dry befor putting it back together.

funny story....

my Sidewinder case cam apart while driving. it didnt break, it just popped apart and dragged the circuit board on the track. Its ruined, so I am sending it back to Castle for a replacement.

being the genius that I am, I bought the MMP SCT to replace it. so I wouldnt have that problem again, I put drops of CA glue on the tabs...

sooo...horrible idea to spray it out, or okay as a last resort? :D

I couldt get the case apart, but im afraid id break the tabs, which pretty much would elminate me from any warranty repairs.

since you are not tech savvy in "breaking" the case apart without destroying the tabs, maybe you should put those electronics inside a sealed container whenever you use your RC in wet and muddy runs.

there are a lot of DIY options for that (our favorite is to encase it inside a condom) or you can get commercially available containers.

HTH

I think maybe you missed the part where I super glued the tabs together? The mud came from Milestone raceway I didn't realize it was going to be an issue, it was a nice track. I guess I didn't wait long enough after they watered, there was no standing water

As far as covers or condoms, what about heat dissipation?
