One thingt o note is it seems like a bigger problem in the K car and RC8, as the receiver is closer to the motor. Drill holes all over the rx box and take all the foam padding out and you might get by.
Also in the BOB, errrr... 8ight 0h 8ight... errrr... you know what I mean. Saw THAT one happen in person. Twice, in one race.
