    18. Tips for Mounting the Receiver The 2.4 GHz model radio is especially inter- ference-proof but nevertheless: To avoid interference under difficult conditions e.g. events with many radios we have a few tips for mounting the receiver: • For best reception the last three centim- eters of the receiver antenna should point vertically up and far away from any metals parts or cables.
  • Page 45: Tips For Mounting Escs And Light Sets

    Place servo and steering cables seper- ately from the power cables to avoid interferences. • Only use interference suppressed motors. Servonaut motors are all inter- ference suppressed or delivered with suppression kit. • Some modules heat up and therefore shouldn’t be covered in foam. Check the heat while taking your model for a test drive and ensure ventilation if necessary.
