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.
 Do not use a metal receiver antenna holder on a plate made of metal, carbon, or other conductive material.
￸ 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.

(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, it will operate erroneously due to the invasion of water drops and

you may lose control of the model.
