HI james94. I have waterproofed one of these "SuperSimple 100A ESC" with a 2 part Dow Corning silicone rubber kit, worked great. I made up a water cooled heat sink and then encased the whole lot with the rubber, used a bit too much rubber so I will use less on the next one. :D

I've used Scotch DP 270 epoxy with good results.Remove the heatsink and mounting board,,coat both sides of the esc well and scrape the still wet epoxy off the tops of the mosfets so the heatsink will have intimate contact with them.
You can buy it here http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...prod=ose-dp270 and elsewhere (google "dp 270 epoxy" )
