Corrosion Build-Up

[cdeiner]

Hi All,

I am getting corrosion building up on the pins of my receiver. Maybe a di electric grease would help. Does anyone have any input?

Thanks,
Craig

Craig,
Leaving a battery plugged in can do that. Sounds like there is a parasitic draw somewhere. For what it's worth, I use di-electric grease on all my non-soldered plug-and-play electrical connections. So far so good.
Oh, and welcome to the forum. 'AC'

Welcome, hope you get your Kooties under control. What? Corrosion? I thought you said Kooties, well never mind, I would also give the di electric grease a try.

Dielectric grease is the way to go. Do you drive the RC in water?

Yes it's a 1/14th scale of the Blue Blaster boat from 1980.

Oh, ok. Then yeah, definitely grease all the electrical contacts up.
