That's pretty typical of cheap potentiometers. One of the few parts that I actually spent money on and bought new was a Curtis PB6 potentiometer.
I have that enclosed in a protective box.
Also, I talked with one of my electronics buddies last night. He said that to protect my circuit board, I could even just cover it with the same protective varnish that I used on my motor windings! Just mask off the LEDs and anything else I would want to see and blast away!
I will have to pull the controller out sometime soon, and check a few things over. When I do that, I will check the circuit board and decide what to do for maybe coating it.
Also, I think I want a little different case. It would be pretty cool to have one with a clear cover to show off the electronics. Maybe with some lights inside like those modded PC cases.
