I hope I don't sound like a complete idiot for asking this (because I'm sure the Tamiya designers/engineers put these here for a purpose), but nonetheless would it be okay if I covered up all those holes scattered around the Lunch Box (and Pumpkin) chassis? In addition to the sizeable circular hole in the bottom-middle of the chassis (which is centered directly above the battery compartment) there are about a dozen other little holes that I can't find any use for. See my attached pic where I have circled these (I'm not including the suspension holes, the on/off switch space, the servo space, or the gap for the engine wires, and I understand that at least one of these are for the antenna). I'm asking because I want to waterproof and sand-proof the chassis as much as possible as I will primarily be driving my Lunchbox at the beach and in sand dunes. As for the actual covering up, I was thinking of using a hot glue gun and/or duct tape. Other suggestions appreciated! -
Hi all, I am currently upgrading a Tamiya Lunchbox I bought around 10 years ago. Having done everything else my attention has now turned to the electronics. Having replaced the stock can motor with a 540 sports tuned this leaves the Electronic Speed Controller, servo for the steering and what I term 'radio box' where the crystal sits along with the wires plugged in. How would I go about waterproofing these and in fact would anyone suggest upgrading these? If so what would be the potential benefit please? If so also, what would I replaced them with please? I know the balloons can be used for basic waterproofing and I am not currently looking to purchase cans of Plasti-dip. Any cheap and quick hacks please?! Pics of follow!
