Spektrum mr200

[jamespl]

I can verify that it is not waterproof, I have a new one on order after flipping my boat two weeks ago. Expensive lesson learned, using hockey tape on hatch from now on!!!

isnt hatch tape a must on all runs? I use it every time, even if im just testing.

I use both the MR200 and MR3000 Marine Receivers in my Apparition, Miss Geico and Blackjack 26. I put the receivers inside a small ballon and zip tie it shut around the wires.

Best way to do it, simple, cheap, and easy. Make sure you use small zip ties, two or more if possible. I have had water get in once when using bigger ties because they just didn't loop around tight enough.

I have used the 3000's and the 200's and have had much beter luck with the 200's. Spektrum as of late has had quite a few failures on the lattest batch of 3000's, so good choice with the 200. As mentioned before, they are NOT waterproof and I put mine inside condoms in the boat to keep them dry in case of flip. Non lubrictaed condoms seem to work best....lol

Is this issue documented somewhere? I sell and use a ton of mr3000's and this is the first I've heard of this.

Back on topic, my son runs a mr3000 in his motley with oth ant wires inside with zero issues.
