These are the kind of cheap but great idea. Really great idea. I have two questions: what the name of the tools you are using to flame the wax after drop on the board? How do you remove the wax in case of need without damaging the board overheating it to melt the wax with fire?
Hey could u reply to this comment plz I was bought this and just wanted to know do u only have to cover the circuit board with wax and let it dry and then is it waterproof
the servo is just a toy grade 130 motor in a gear box so it is fine getting wet , the lights dont mind getting wet because they are led , i usually just blow out the battery connection with my air compressor , no issues yet
@@lakilakisorong8204 i made sure to dry the battery out completely by blowing it out with my air compressor , the on off switch you can just spray it out with wd40
Yes they still work after getting wet , i use my air compressor to blow dry the truck after playing in the water just to make sure nothing rusts or corrodes
hi friend, i have a jjrc q65 i'm from brazil and i really wanted to do this idea, so i'm afraid to spoil it by the comments, i saw that it's a great idea and it works, i wanted to know if i need to go through the engine and lights connections and wanted to know where do i need to put the candle
Just over the board , but always make sure to dry out everything after going in the water , take the truck apart if you have to be sure , this mod is mainly for those cheap rc's that people are ok with ruining if something goes wrong , it worked great for me and has worked for many years , just do not use a scented candle , the scent wax will short out the board
I want to waterproof my rc truck and it a 9300 sandy land truck and would be nice to know how to waterproof this kind of truck. And does it melt the wax when it's hot?
I used to do this with my white canvas vans .. but rather than dripping .. just rub it in and then hairdryer it, actually works great .. mud and stains just run off
Its more thicker and cant come off and on your board it will be hot and your board will not work WARNING MAY CATCH ON FIRE USE CANDLE WAX INSTEAD BECAUSE ITS MORE THINER AND LESS THICKER.
Hot glue is another widely available option if you are or live with a crafty person. You can spread dielectric grease on the motor vents and bushings for extra protection. Dielectric grease can be found in little single use packets by the checkout of any auto parts stores. You wouldnt need more than one packet for one of these trucks. I also recoment waxing the seams of the heat shrink and especialy where the wires come out of the battery pack. A little dab of dielectric grease inside any plug you need to be able to easily unplug like the battery plug will work wonders.
It might , with mixed results , in the past ive found that hot glue will allow water to creep under and lift it after prolonged exposure to water , it may work for a bit
I usually either blow it out very well with an air compressor or il sit it in front of a fan to dry out , you can also spray the motor out with wd40 which will displace any remaining moisture
@@TheRandomMechanic ok and with the battery I have a 7.4v-1300mAh LJ Li-ion it came with a wlpc24 RTR pack the white truck would I need to waterproof a battery or could I drive it and send it
@@ps4tings545 i just poked a few small holes in the shrink wrap on the pack so water would drain and air could circulate , seemed to do just fine , i have an adjustable floor fan that i turn up and sit the truck and battery on and i leave it to dry overnight after spraying it down with the air compressor , never had any issues
The motor should be fine , you can spray it out with contact cleaner or compressed air as long as you dont put it away wet it shouldnt do anything to the motor
@@dontneedone990 cause parts of the board do get hot. The wax has a low melting point and will actually act like a cooling fluid on the other hand hot glue that melts at a higher temp will not melt as quickly and will hold heat to the board probably causing it to burn out
Do this + wrap it in a glove
100% waterproof
It worked! My rc car is now a freaking submarine lmao. No problems so far!
Wait. Ryan u here too??
@@brianong9945 yea
Hahahahahahah lol xd
Is it working still?

Who knows
Gotta love the cheap mods, never thought about that,what a great idea,cheers
Mann I never thought of that but that is pretty cool
What about the steering motor and other motors?
Hey could u reply to this comment plz I was bought this and just wanted to know do u only have to cover the circuit board with wax and let it dry and then is it waterproof
yes , just make sure you dry out the battery and motor after your done playing in the water so they dont corrode
Thx
Don't know if I missed something or not, but what about the servo or the lights and battery connection
the servo is just a toy grade 130 motor in a gear box so it is fine getting wet , the lights dont mind getting wet because they are led , i usually just blow out the battery connection with my air compressor , no issues yet
The Random Mechanic thanks man
@@TheRandomMechanic what about battery and on off switch?
@@lakilakisorong8204 i made sure to dry the battery out completely by blowing it out with my air compressor , the on off switch you can just spray it out with wd40
Ik it will work just I can't find any unscented wax and my city :|
me too
Order them there like 1$
Hey that is a great idea never thought of that I used to get liquid tape or plastidip but hey I always have candles thanks
No Problem , i have been using the candle trick for almost 20 years it works pretty well ,
Good trick
@@TheRandomMechanic Excellent tip I’m gonna try this on my WPL C24 and submarine it👍👍
Very nice!!! It work!!! 🥇😎👍👍👍
absolutely brilliant love the idea thank you
How about the stock servo ,batt ,motor are they still working after they get wet?
Yes they still work after getting wet , i use my air compressor to blow dry the truck after playing in the water just to make sure nothing rusts or corrodes
The Random Mechanic thank you so much sir....
No Problem ,
@B J the motor is not waterproof these small motors work fine underwater just make sure to dry them out completely
That's really cool :) thank you!

Jackpot !!!, thanks man, that beats the expensives waterproof main stream
No Problem
was just browsing through videos and was curious about this, pretty smart idea to use wax to water proof, never thought of something like this before
or you can use some waterproof tape
That's the best idea yet I'll try that for shore thanks
Agreed. I would have never thought of this
Can I use this method with motors as well. I need to waterproof them
sorry but this will not work on motors
Do you think hot glue could work as well
it might , but you would have to get it pretty dang hot to eliminate all the gaps ,
Cool thanks bro
Do you think hot glue will work
Yea but you can't un- plug the motor !
Wouldn't the wax melt if this was applied on the ESC.
on a higher dollar rc yes but like i stated in the video this mod is really for cheap rc cars , toy grade cars
i use hot glue
Just wondering do I have to do anything with the motor or will it be fine as is under water
the motor should be fine just be sure to dry it out after you get it wet ,
wow this is really a nice idea
nice, great idea💪👍
Thanks For Sharing!!! GREAT VIDEOS!!! Also Subed..
Thanks man i appreciate it ,
Thank you

is this wax?? What is this, and where to buy it
thats normal candle
Plasti dip
Do you think I could use parafin wax?
I've done that with a stock WPL C-14 underwater and nothing happened, but the wax is actually a good idea
Just the circuit board, put just put some candle wax?
Sir can you please suggest battery for HP rock crawler 1803 . For continuous playing 2-4 hours.
My rig is already water proof I mug it do this just to make sure tho
I have used the non conductive rubber coatings from homedump allot
Could you loan me that candle?🤭🤭🤭
Or you can pack ot with marine greas it works good to
That's genius!
cool, nice easiest and ceapest way to waterproof
I also need to repeat the process on the steering motors and the main motor?
Colored candles are scented?
I would at least get a waterproof servo
I wanna try this with my b1 but im scared its gonna ruin it
How about Silicon Glue? will it work?
What about the servo?
What about the battery?
doesnt this makes the ESC overheat?? i mean the Fan's cooling wont get to the circuit board
there is no fan to begin with on these trucks
I hope this is real
what is with the motor ?
Is it ok if i use hot glue gun stick?
Yes a hot glue stick will work just make sure it covers everything .
Oh ok, thank you...🙂
Cause i will need my rc car to be a water proof rc car, and because i want to play in a mud
No it wont work
Its more thicker and cant come off and on your board it will be hot and your board will not work WARNING MAY CATCH ON FIRE USE CANDLE WAX INSTEAD BECAUSE ITS MORE THINER AND LESS THICKER.
@@maruthugyamajeik4070 what about silicon glue for the aquarium?
nicw idea..not pretty sure about the battery connection,..
i just put a squirt of dielectric grease in the battery connector seems to be holding up fine
Im going to try now
But battery is not cover so battery is not work how to solve
the battery is fine as long as you dont let it rust
My motor died when i Drop it in the water =( is it normal ?
What about using an glue gun? will it have the same effect?
a glue gun might work you would need to make sure that there are no gaps for moisture to get through
Hey if you see this would some dielectric grease do the job too
It might , would take alot though ,
Will it work on my dbxl? XD
It is working
Daaaaaaaaaaaaam شلوووووووون
Salt water?

So hot glue works too?
So u don’t have to water proof the motor?
Not a brushed motor , they work underwater , just make sure you dry it out real good
Circuit board only?
yes because there is nothing else that you are going to fry by getting it wet
Is the dynamo gonna be OK?
DivaPawIndonesia yes it’s fine
I followed every thing you said in the video but when I turned it on my battery got hot all most to the touch
Did the wax have any kind of a scented oil in it ?
@@TheRandomMechanic no it didn't I threw it on the charger and it's just fine no problems yet I don't know what happened earlier thanks anyway
This looks like a GREAT idea..That WWII Truck looks so cool. Where did you buy it?
It is a Wpl b-1 you can find them on ebay or gearbest
Thanks :)
@@starguard4122 No Problem
YESSSS GOOOOOD IDE tHANKS
Will a glue gun work
It might , with mixed results , in the past ive found that hot glue will allow water to creep under and lift it after prolonged exposure to water , it may work for a bit
GOOD IDEA!
Probably to late but where did you get that truck from?
I bought it on ebay
It is a wpl b-1
The battery connection what if water gets in it? Will it be okay?
yes , just be sure to dry it out afterward , maybe spray it out with wd40
The Random Mechanic also the motor brushless or brushed... won’t water damage it?
@@RushNation i know it wont hurt a brushed motor , i have never owned anything that was brushless so i cant say weather or not it will work
For the motor i can put like a sock on it for waterproof? Btw is a 370motor
A water proof sock?
They make waterproof socks? Why not just have waterproof shoes... Lol what am I missing here
@@zhuguidai 😂lol. No, I was saying like if I put a sock on the motor, it can assorb some water and help the motor but I dont think so
What about the battery and how do u clean arc car after water driving
I usually either blow it out very well with an air compressor or il sit it in front of a fan to dry out , you can also spray the motor out with wd40 which will displace any remaining moisture

No Problem
Will it work with wpl c24
It sure will
@@TheRandomMechanic thanks for the advise
Would hot glue work?
I dont think it would ,
@@TheRandomMechanic why?

About 3 days but then the engine gets rusted
You have to dry the motor out and spray wd40 in it to keep it from rusting
I did that though
@@laguna2175 hmm thats odd , must have been a realy cheap motor , good thing they are cheap
Yeah but at least you're hack work
@@laguna2175 true , it does work in a pinch , its pretty fun
Can u put wax on any component like the servo ??
the wax would work on the board inside a servo , just dont clog up the gears with it
what about the motor conetions and stuff
