Or balloon the receiver and plastidip the servo's. The plastidip didn't hold up that great for me. Pealed off in a couple hours worth of bashing... After seeing others though, I must have done something wrong.
I don't have any pics, but it's not that hard. I don't think I would do it with the receiver, but some have.
When you dip a servo, just put a screw in the shaft for the servo horn so it doesn't get plugged up, then dip the servo into the plastidip can by holding onto the servo wire. Just submerge the whole thing. Let it cure for a few hours (or until dry) then do it again.
Once it's completely cured, you can peel off the plastidip from the shaft for the servo horn with an exacto knife.

I used that plastidip on my buggy servos, I actually bought the spray can version. Its very easy to do and comes in different colors. I wouldnt use too much though because I almost had a tough time getting them back into the radio tray. You dont need too much of this stuff, a couple of coats is good enough protection.
