Installation
Warning
Connector Connections
Be sure the receiver, servo and con-
nectors are fully and firmly con-
nected.
If vibration from the model causes a connector to work
loose while the model is in operation, you may lose
control .
Electronic speed control
Install the heat sinks where they will
not come in contact with aluminum,
carbon fiber or other parts that con-
duct electricity.
If the Electronic speed control heat sinks touch other
materials that conduct electricity a short circuit could
occur. This could result in loss of control and damage
to the system.
Receiver Vibration Damping and
Waterproofing
(Car)
Dampen the vibration to the receiver
by mounting it to the chassis or
mounting plate with thick, double-
sided tape in electric powered mod-
els. In gas powered models, wrap the
receiver in foam and mount it where
the vibration is the least prevalent.
(Boat)
Dampen the vibration to the receiver
by wrapping it in foam. Waterproof by
placing it in a plastic bag or make the
radio box in your model watertight.
If the receiver is subjected to strong vibration or shock
erratic or loss of control may occur. If any moisture
comes in contact the receiver and servos you may
experience the same result as well as damage to the
system.
Servo Throw
Operate each servo over its full stroke
and be sure the linkage does not bind
or is loose.
The continuous application of unreasonable force to a
servo may cause damage and excessive battery
drain.
Servo Installation
When you install the servos always
use the rubber grommets provided in
servo hardware bags. Mount the ser-
vos so they do not directly come in
contact with the mount.
If the servo case comes in direct contact with the
mount, vibration will be directly transmitted to the
servo.
If this condition continues for a long time the servo
may be damaged and control will be lost.
Motor Noise Suppression
Always install capacitors to suppress
noise when electric motors are used.
If capacitors are not properly installed you could expe-
rience erratic operation and reduced range as well as
loss of control.
Other Noise Suppression Methods
Be sure there are no metal parts in
your model which under vibration
could come in contact with other
metal parts.
Metal to metal contacts under vibration will emit a high
frequency noise that will affect the receiver's perfor-
mance. You could experience erratic operation and
reduced range as well as loss of control.
