Salt water is a real challenge for our RC Lasers, but here’s an easy, proven way to protect yours and keep racing strong:
-
Give your boat a thorough fresh water rinse right after sailing (huge thanks to CBMYC for providing fresh water and sprayers on-site during the regatta!).
-
Apply a light coating of CorrosionX to all metal parts, linkages, screws, and especially electronics (servos, receiver, etc.)
See how effective it is—watch this great Flite Test video showing CorrosionX waterproofing RC electronics, even in saltwater:
(Real tests on receivers, servos, and more—super relevant for us saltwater sailors!)
CorrosionX (or their SpeedX variant) has kept my boats in tip-top shape with zero corrosion worries, even after repeated saltwater sessions. No more fear of salt damage!
Grab CorrosionX or SpeedX at Walmart, Amazon, or directly from the Corrosion Technologies website:
