Apologies, if this has been dealt with before, i did search, and came up with 0 

While i have my DF65 in bits, due to a cracked hull (all repaired now) i was looking at the electrics, as my switch appears to be a bit notchy , and a tad intermittent, what is the recommended remedy /solution to keep the electrical connections in tip top condition, as in grease, wd40/gt85 and the like

Also, i was thinking about putting the Receiver in a small zip bag, and a rubber band to try and stop water, or more so, damp getting in, is this a bad idea ?

Also doing this with the lipo balance lead, as this is open to the element inside the hull,  ?

Hi Steve, GT85 can work but the best spray is Corrosion X but it is expensive. It will waterproof and protect against corrosion. A small amount of silicone grease or vaseline also helps.

I also race rc cars in all weathers, driving through puddles etc and all racers tend to put the receiver inside a balloon with a cable tie or tape round the neck and aerial poking out  - works very well and easily replaced if ever gets damp. 

Hope this helps.

Thanks Simon,

65 is all back together now, and the Bec, Battery bind plug and Receiver are in bags, and zip tied, tight, so next hatch off, and battery charge, i will see if theres any water in the bags
