Deagostini RB7 - The RC Power Switch; Between Battery and Receiver

Red Bull Racing RB7: Step by Step

The RC power switch and its cables, seen here in the centre of the picture,
connect the RC receiver, at the top of the picture, to the battery box, on the
right.
THE RC POWER SWITCH
YOUR RB7 MODEL’S RC RECEIVER AND SERVOS ARE SUPPLIED WITH ELECTRICAL
POWER FROM ITS BATTERIES. THERE IS NO NEED TO MAINTAIN THIS POWER
SUPPLY WHEN THE CAR IS NOT IN USE, SO THE RC SYSTEM IS FITTED WITH A
SWITCH TO BREAK THE CIRCUIT.
With this pack, you will receive the RC power switch, the
rst electrical component of your model. The switch marks
the beginning of a new phase of the build, in which you will
t the components of the onboard control system – the RC
receiver and the throttle and brake servos – to the chassis
and the RC box.
BETWEEN BATTERY AND RECEIVER
The switch connects the battery box and the RC receiver
of your RB7 model. This arrangement means that is tted
at the most eective point in the circuit, because the two
servos of your model obtain their electrical power via
the receiver. When you use the switch to disconnect the
receiver from the power source, you are also disconnecting
the servos, so there’s no need for them to have individual
switches.
