Reciever pack problem.
 
I know someone on here will have a solution to this problem, I run a 5 cell reciever pack on my losi aftershock basher in the stock mounting position it sits directly under the engine and it always gets wet or fuel spillage on it and I have went through 2 reciever packs. Is there a way to waterproof or protect the pack or should I just move the pack completely??

I got some "Plastic Dip" areosol at Lowe's. That might work.

The areosol might be easier.

I don't think so, I have not tried it yet.

you might want to discharge your reciever pack first thou. lol As long as they are not lipos.

I guess I could use electrical tape, and tape it up really tight. Its a Nimh reciever pack. It wouldnt cause a problem would it? over heat or anything??

Reposition the battery elsewhere.
