The Castle Creations Sidewinder 3 speed controller has to go: I never planned on using it in the SCX10 and as it is not a sensored brushless motor controller the very low speed control is not great, plus is it very noisy at low speeds. As I wanted to try out waterproofing using epoxy resin I thought I'd try a very cheap 'X-Car' brushless sensored ESC from HobbyKing...
Is it waterproof? Checkout this recent running video: [ Ссылка ]

----- A good how-to on 'waterproofing' the X-Car ESC with "liquid tape" (like Plastidip) from 00whynot. Note: I do not recommend using liquid rubbers on ESCs for 'extreme' waterproofing (going under water) and now prefer epoxy resin instead (see above): [ Ссылка ]
