Radio Glitch Fixes
-
- 1) Receiver
Location. The location of your receiver is very important.
Try to mount it so it is the highest control in the car.
With todays receivers, weight is of little matter. I would
rather have a high ounce over cg than a glich at the wrong
moment.
-
- 2) Locate
the receiver as close to the antenna mast as possable. If
necessary relocate the mast. The antenna kit from Associated
works very well and they give you an extra long mast as
well.
-
- 3) Don't let
the antenna wire touch the chassis. With all the graphite
parts used today, this is most important. Graphite is a good
conductor. It will pickup pulses from the motor/ESC/battery
and interfere with the radio signal.
-
- 4) Drill a
hole in the side of the antenna mast to keep the wire off
the chassis. See above.
-
- 5) Don't
drape wires from the motor/ESC/batteries over the receiver
or antenna wire.
-
- 6) Try two
layers of servo tape to further insulate the receiver from
the chassis. See #3.
-
- 7) Inspect
the receiver antenna wire for breaks.
-
- 8) Be sure
that the antenna is the correct length.
-
- 9) Always
use fresh batteries in the transmitter.
-
- 10) Check to
be sure the transmitter antenna is tightly screwed into the
transmitters body.
