@rc.realistic.overlanding fluid film is a lanolin based corrosion inhibitor. Its super convienent to use, just spray on then use compressed air to blow away the excess. It kind of stays wet, so maybe not the best if used around lots of dust, but i havn't found it to be a problem. I've run my WPL v3 speed control underwater once treated. I havn't needed to repair any connections so can't comment there.

"Silicone conformal coating" - you paint it on everything electrical except connectors (eg the decased receiver, really don't get it on connectors) and then it's waterproof. You can solder through it if you need to. RS components is the best place to get it.

I'm having trouble finding a scale to fit the wheel base and I'm thinking about just extending a 4wd vehicle to fit.
