I know this is for my race quad but i do need some help?
I'm doing the biggest race of the year this weekend " WESTON BEACH RACE " for the last 2 years i've had breakdowns due to water getting into electrical connections!!!

how do you seal / waterproof your electrics to keep the water out?? it's salt water too!!


heres a vid from a couple of years ago off the tv.

Solder where it makes sense, dielectric grease in connections and aviation heat shrink wrapping on all contections. Silicon where needed (like were wires enter the on/off switch) That's all I know of. Make sure your air box dosen't fail you either. Looks like fun, good luck!
