Senton Any ideas on Body mods or covers to reduce the amount of debris that collect inside the body?

[JPK73]

My senton collects so much debris after a ride. Its difficult to remove. I have ruined 2 receivers, by spraying off with hose. I have gone to extremes of plasti dipping the receiver, but water still found a way to get inside. I know there are mesh covers u can purchase, but have heard they trap the heat and 30bucks for pantyhose with velcro is ridiculous. Any ideas?

If only the receiver is the problem try to mount it upside down.
If you want to keep the chassis clean the 30 bucks pantyhose is (in my experience) the best solution.
Why? Because cooling air gets through, mud and water stays out:

You literally can use panty hose. Ask @Notorious J

My latest receiver is the 6channel dumbo rc, with gyro. So placement is of importance (I think). I don't know why I'm having such difficulty with receivers. I'm getting a collection of transmitters with faulty receivers. Are there any guards u can attach to reduce dirt buildup. Thanks for the response.

I found these I don’t own a Senton 6s yet but I would try these hope they ship to the US for a fair price.

My father told me to make some thinks like the receiver waterproof to use a rubber globus, on your case maybe a cartoon box or a little plastic tupper (for the receiver) will protect it from it.

Well I've went to the extreme of plasti dipping the receiver followed by adding plasti dip to inside and on the foam area where wires come out. Also applied marine grease all around rubber seal lid. Also applied PDip to bottom area where the box attaches to the body. I've thought about wrapping it in a rubber balloon or purchasing some conformal coating. But all this seem so over the top compared to my neighbors arrma cars. He has never done any extra waterproofing and he sprays down his truck with house water hose, dry with hairdryer then spray down with wd40, just like I've done but he has no issues.
I will say of note that my 2nd(redcatR -3E) an 3rd(dumboX6FG) receivers will light up but cant get them to work or bind.

This is what i did to my truck. Lifted the body. Made my mounts from parts at Lowes, ( I did not want to cut my body). Added Duratrax 12mm mt tires, added 12mm hubs from Duratrax, made my dirt and debris system out of a for sale sign and duct tape, changed my pinion gear to 13T. I have NO DIRT AND DEBRIS inside my truck.Yeah!! It still goes 45mph and i thrash it any whare i'm running. I just blew out a tire due to my driving, and hit a light pole at full speed and broke the arm on my bumper. Now i'm going to glue the tire back and mod the front bumper.
Oh yeah forgot the 12mm hub pics. Hope this works for you. My truck would fill up with dirt, grass and rocks. NOT ANY MORE... You could make a debris deflection system on the stock Senton but make sure you have air flow from the front going out the back like a ram jet engine. But i added a fan which i didn't have any issues but for $12.00 i did it any way. Piece of mind.
