Receiver (receiver antenna)

Receiver vibration-proofing / waterproofing

Do not cut or bundle the receiver antenna wire.

Do not bundle the receiver antenna wire together with the motor controller lead wire.

Keep the receiver antenna wire at least 1cm away from motor, battery, and other wiring carrying heavy current.

Install the receiver antenna holder as closely as possible to the receiver.

If the antenna wire is cut, bundled, or routed near a noise source, the receiving sensitivity will drop, the running (sailing)
range will decrease, and you may lose control of the model.

*Noise is transmitted through metal, carbon, and other conductive material, so keep the receiver antenna wire away from such parts.

(Car)

Vibration-proof the receiver by wrapping it in foam rubber or other vibration-absorbing material

and mount it with thick double-sided tape.

When using the receiver holder supplied with the model kit, mount the holder to the chassis

through a rubber grommet.

(Boat)

Vibration-proof the receiver by wrapping it in foam rubber or other vibration-absorbing material.

Also waterproof the receiver by sealing it in a plastic bag.

If the receiver is exposed to strong vibration and shock, or suffers from water leakage, reliable operation may be lost and

you may lose control of the model.

Screw

Mechanical plate

Nut (as required)

Receiver holder

Damper

When using the receiver holder sup-

plied with the kit, install the receiver

holder using rubber grommets to re-

duce vibration.

Foam rubber, etc.

Wrap the receiver in foam rubber or oth-

er vibration-absorbing material. Do not

use hard material. Hard material does not

have a vibration-proofing effect.

Mechanical plate

Thick double-

sided tape

When mounting the receiver with double-sided tape,

do not use a stiff tape. Stiff tape does not have a vibra-

tion-proofing effect.

Antenna

Install the receiver as far away as possible from the

battery, motor controller, motor, silicon cord and

other noise sources. Keep it away from the antenna

wire, in particular.
