Default Waterproofing Mamba ESC?

I have an emaxx brushless and have been thinking about waterproofing the esc. There is tons of stuff out there, both pros and cons about doing it. Which method do you think is best and what do you do about the cooling fan?.................or should I just buy somehing else that is more waterproof ? Thanks in advance, GREATFORUM, lots of great information here.

Unfortunately, there are no waterproof ESC options out there that I know of.  At least none the size of the MMM.  The Velineon system is waterproof but it is much smaller than the MMM.

Just google "how to waterproof esc" or search that term in youtube. Most popular ways are to use liquid electrical tape or corrosion x.

I have seen most of the utube vids, but I just wondered if any of you guys had tried it, what method you used and if it worked or not.Thanks for the input guys.

I used corrosion x to waterproof my xerun sensored system. I havent submerged it or anything, but it im sure it will be ok. There are stories about some boat guys who have lost their corrosion x treated esc in the water and retrieved it days later and it still worked just fine.
