Dielectric grease for electrical connections?

[Casper391]

Thinking about using Dielectrically grease on my electrical connections. Anyone use dielectric grease on electrical connection to help keep water out and help for better connection? Pros/ cons?

I haven’t yet but it’s probably a good idea if running in the wet or snow ????

Agreed

I do use it.

I use it on my "1:1 Scale" car and antenna connections all the time. I don't (deliberately!) run my senton in wet weather, so I'm not too worried about it.

I can't see how it could hurt, though. It's pretty "inert" stuff, so it shouldn't affect the plastic bits. And it's not real sticky, so I wouldn't expect it to attract and hold a lot of dirt.

I use it on my 1:1 Wrangler & spouse's 1:1 Subaru. If it will withstand use in sparkplug caps on the cylinder heads I have no fears about it's performance on a 1:10 truck.

It goes on my 1:10 Granite's EC5 battery connectors and a tiny dab on every occupied slot on the receiver.

If nothing else I see it as "anti-seize" for the electronics.

Thanks for the info guys. I don't run in water per say like rain, but I do run sometimes in damp grass and mud, I do wash my trucks off ( with the body on) for a quick rinse then the wd 40 the truck down and use a air compressor to blow them dry, then a little 3 in one oil on all the exposed bearings.

Never the less, it can’t hurt to use it. ??
