I just bought this product in April 2014. It no longer works. Is it supposed to be waterproof? If not do you have a button for RC 8800R that is waterp

I have had the same problem. It doesn't seem as though it's waterproof. Once the guts get wet -- history !!! I think I solved the problem by smearing some silicon on the internal parts. It doesn't hurt anything, and it seems to have worked for me. Good Luck, Dj !!!

Have you tried washing the sensor? Just use water, nothing else. My sensor got dirty and I had this problem. Cleaning off the sensor did the trick. And don't forget these are warranted for five years. When my motor died, they sent me a new motor with instructions how to change it out. Piece of cake.

It has worked after getting wet but not marketed as waterproof. Try plastic, clear ziploc bag. It will not interfere with the functions.

There's not very many Rc related things that are electrical and waterproof. Electricity and water don't go to good. From my knowledge, it is not waterproof and I have bought it myself. Just still haven't installed it.

My pulse is in the 50's and it workes well for me. Two things: I wore mine swimming and it died. They claim it is waterproof - not a chance. It took months of hassle to get MIO to replace it. So, it is a very good product when it works, but if something goes wrong all bets are off.

I would not call it all waterproof. The receiver and servos are pretty well sealed but the battery and motor are removable and exposed. There is a splash guard on the motor and the battery connection is splash proof but it would not work for long under water. My kids run it through puddles and mud all day without a problem. Upgraded the battery to a lipo for quicker charging and longer run times.

I have had mine for awhile now since April and never had a problem. You may need to send it back.

Its not going to stop working if you put it in water. Its like saying is a rubber duckie water proof. Just let it dry out first if you want to use it outside of the water.

Barb you are doing better than me neither me or any of my friends have been able to figure out how the GSI works period. As far as it being waterproof i will have to somehow figure how it works first i even have the instructions i bought the GSI sometime ago.

This happened to me when I first tried to clean out the unit. I didn't want to take a chance to I separated the motor assembly from the fluid chamber and dried it, while keeping the wires attached, with a fan. Once apart I could see that the electronics could be exposed to water. After I felt comfortable that the electronics were dry I reassembled the unit and it worked just fine. Now 'm very carful about keeping the unit facing down when cleaning.

The Savox SC1256TG is not advertised as being waterproof. If water was just splashed on the server I't will probably be ok but, if it is going to be submerged in water I would look for another servo that is waterproof.

This just happened to my monitor and my unit is about 18 months old as well. We were holding it down to turn on/off and then just last night the power button stopped working completely. HAs anyone had any luck getting Motorola to help if the unit is out of warranty?

I have used it outside. Water got into it once and the camera died. While researching other cameras (they all looked the same) I saw a reset procedure....power off, hit reset and hold, power on, release reset after 10 seconds. It brought the camera back to life. It is now better protected to avoid a repeat.

Not as waterproof as it should have been. Had to have it replaced due to internal corrosion from water getting in the motor/circuitry.

Try spraying electrical contact cleaner in and around the button(s). Don't use any water based products on it and always keep it in a dry storage place.
