Drone and quadcopter owners everywhere are always worried about the safety of their aerial machines and the number one concern for them is that their quadcopter can get damaged due to water splashes or rain, or can lose power and get submerged in a water body.
Water damage to drones is serious as not all drones are created to be water proof or even water resistant. While there are some drones that are waterproof, most others will not survive for long when they come in contact with moisture or liquids of any kind.
But in this video uploaded by Flite Test, Peter and Josh will show you how you can protect your drones and its parts from moisture and water damage. By using products like Corrosion-X Heavy Duty, Corrosion-X Aerosol, Corrosion-X and Turbo Coat, they have done an extreme test in the video by completely submerging the products into salt water to show the viewers how effective these sprays are.
Giving very helpful tips and tricks they claim that Corrosion X HD is great for using with servos and to use it you have to open up the casing and spray it on all the components inside. According to them Epoxy is also the best way for you to seal your ESC as hot glue will not be able to work for that.
