Noiseisgeneratedinanyareawherealargeamountof
electric current is flowing. Position the receiver and
antennacableasfarawayfromthemotor,battery,ESC,
andtheirassociatedcablesaspossible.(Metalorcarbon
fiber chassis components will also conduct electricity
andgeneratenoise.)
SinceR/Cmodelsarecontrolledviaradiosignals,taking
appropriate measures against noise generated by
on-board equipment is of utmost importance. Take
adequatemeasuresagainstnoisesothatyourmachine
canfullyrealizeyourdrivingpotential.

Keepantennacableawayfromallsourcesofnoise!
When installing the receiver to the chassis or R/C
equipmentdeck/tray,usetwoormorepiecesofthick
double-sidedtapetoraisethereceiveroffthechassis
surface. By increasing the separation between the
receiverandthenoise-generatingcarbon-fiberchassis
components,theeffectsofnoisecanbedecreased.
Raisetheantennacableverticallyfromashighapositionaspossible.Inserttheantennacableintotheantenna
pipesothatthetipoftheantennaalignswiththeendofthepipe.Makethelengthofcablewhichrunsbetween
thereceiver and thepipe asshort as possibleand positiontheantenna holderas closetothe receiveras
possible. Position the antenna cable away from sources of noise such as the chassis and R/C equipment
deck/tray.Useanantennapipeandantennamountthataremadefromplastic,sincemetalpartswillconduct

Engine vibrations may damage the receiver. Make sure to attach a
grommet(receiver holder)toreduce theeffectsofsuchvibrations. Do
not attach the receiver directly to the chassis or R/C equipment
