Default RE: water proofing electronics

True Value Hardware carries the 6 oz spray can of red CX( you want the stuff in the red can or bottle)> If not in stock they can order it from there warehouse. Empty the spray can into a jar, you need to soak ESCs and not just spray them under the shrink cover. You need to make sure every nook and cranny under the shrink gets coated and all the air is displaced while soaking. Just spraying does not work I have first hand experience with this, all is good since I now soak instead of spray. I also soak the RX but not servos or the motor. if servos quit due to water open up and let dry, they should work again and motors I just use a light oil on the bearings.
