I'm considering waterproofing my RC car electronics to handle complete submersion. My initial thought is to use electrically safe silicone for coating, but I'm wondering if there are any issues with that. Also, if there are better alternatives, I'd appreciate suggestions. Any recommendations from YouTube guides on waterproofing would be great.

It's worth noting that even with waterproofing, complete submersion can still be tough on RC cars. It may impact the grease in bearings, the differential, and lead to increased corrosion. Additionally, soaked foam in tires could potentially mold. -
