Assembly Precautions

WARNING

Check  the  receiver,  servos,  and  battery  connectors,  to  be  sure  they  are  firmly 

connected. 

If a connector is not fully inserted, vibration may cause the connector to work loose 
while the model is operating. This will result in loss of control. 

Operate each servo horn over its full stroke and check 

to  see  that  the  linkage  does  not  bind  or  is  not  too 
loose. 

Excessive  force  applied  to  the  servo  horn  by  binding  or 
poor installation may lead to servo problems and result in 
loss of control. 

Isolate  the  receiver  from  vibration  by  attaching  to  the  chassis  or  mounting  plate 

with thick double sided tape. 

Any contact with moisture (water or condensation) may cause receiver malfunction 

and loss of control.

Use the servo horn screw. 
When the servo horn comes off, it becomes  loss of control.

Keep  all  devices  that  emit  high  frequency  noise,  such  as  motors,  batteries,  and  

wiring that handles heavy current loads, at least 1/2 inch away from the receiver.

High frequency noise will cause a decrease in operating range and could cause loss of 
control.

Install  electronic  speed  controller  heat  sinks  as  well  as  other  components  that 

conduct electricity must not contact with aluminum, carbonfiber or other materials 
that conduct electricity.

If, for example, the electronic speed controller come loose while the model runs, and 
touches aluminum chassis, a short circuit may occur and it cause irreparable damage 
to the system as well as loss of control.

Noise suppression capacitors should be installed on almost all motors. 
If  the  proper  capacitors  are  not  installed,  high  frequency  noise  will  reduce  range 

and cause loss of control along with various other problems. 

Inspect  all  linkage  installations  and  any  point  where  metal  could  come  in  contact 

with other metal parts. Make sure these parts do not touch other metal parts under 
vibration.

Should a linkage or other metal parts come in contact with other metal parts under 
vibration, the high frequency noise generated by this contact will cause interference 
and possible loss of control.

CAUTION 

 Do not disassemble any part of this system that is not specified in the instruction 

manual. 

Futaba  will  not  be  responsible  for  any  damage  due  to  improper  disassembly  of  any 
part of the radio control system.

Caution !

A whining noise indicates 
that the steering servo is 
improperly set.
