Micro 05S 5-Channel SC Auto Shift Select Micro Rx
If you plan to fly off water - get some CorrosionX water proofing stuff. They have it at the Ace hardware,
its essential to protect your rx and speed controller and motor and connectors.
Get the standard (NOT the heavy duty) Marine or Aviation CorrosionX.
I prefer the pump spray bottle, and not the aerosol spray can, but either will work.
Poor some into a large mouth glass jar or small deep bowl. Make it enough to completely cover the parts. Dunk the rx, speed control and motor into the jar and swish it around so that the stuff penetrates all the nooks and crannies. Take the rx case off, if you can, so the gunk can get to the electronics easily. It needs to contact and coat the electronic circuit boards.
Make sure it gets inside the heat shrink on the speed controller too. Get all the air bubbles out. Also be sure all the connectors get a dose.
Once the part is all coated remove it from the oil - I use long nose pliers - and let most of the stuff drip back into the jar. I then put the parts onto several layers of paper towels and let them drain over night. Turn the stuff a couple of times to try to get as much of the oil to drain out as possible. Wipe the outsides of everything off as best you can with more paper towels. Then wipe it again - then wipe it again - then wipe it again and again etc etc.
