I think it's more for keeping the dirt out, rather than waterproofing it. The ESC/Servo/Transponder are all more-or-less sealed units. Your RX has great big gaping holes that let all the little crud get inside...I've been told that depending on what the crud is made out of, it can lead to radio glitching... not sure how much that still applies with 2.4GHz....
And FASST RXs are the same price as transponders...
