Receiver Location
 

I am building a Team Academy SBV2 and am wondering where to place my receiver (Spektrum SR3000). With the Lipo battery taking up the complete left side of the car I am sorta stuck with placing the motor, ESC, and receiver all on the right. I remember something about never place the receiver near a brushless ESC because of the glitching it will cause. What I don't remember is if that includes DSM 2.4GHz radios or just AM and/or FM. In the Team Academy picture they show everything (receiver, ESC, and motor) all on one side... but it is a brushed motor. Thank in advance for your help... Have An Excellent Evening !

You could get some noise coming off the motor wires etc. but I've had ESCs and receivers on cars/trucks and helis actually mounted on top of each other and never had a problem. Not that I'm suggesting that. Just keep your other wires isolated from the antenna wire and you'll probably be fine.:)

Thanks for the reply helibrian... That's nice to know.. I'll try and keep the antenna wire away. Have a great night ! ;)

I servo taped my reciever to the top brace of my sbv2 and it seemed to work allright. There was some glitching but it turned out to be a bad reciever.As long as you don't run the wires right across the motor it's a pretty solid mounting position. Also make sure the body clears if you decide to mount it there because the body fits pretty tightly over most of the brace.

Will Check It Out Brandon... Thank You ! Have A Pleasant Weekened All !!!:)
