RECEIVER BOX: MAINTAINING A WATERTIGHT SEAL
Removing and Installing Radio Gear
The unique design of the receiver box allows the removal and
installation of the receiver without losing the ability to maintain a
watertight seal in the box. The patent-pending wire clamp feature
gives you the ability to also install aftermarket radio systems and
maintain the watertight features of the receiver box.
Removing the Receiver
1. Remove the wire clamp by removing the two 2.5x8mm
cap screws.
2. Remove the cover by removing the two 3x10mm cap screws.
3. To remove the receiver from the box simply lift it out and set
to the side. The antenna wire is still inside the clamp area and
cannot be removed yet.
4. Unplug the servo cables from the receiver and remove
the receiver.
Receiver Installation
1. Install the electronic speed control (ESC), servo, and antenna
wiring through the receiver box top (A).
2. Plug ESC and servo wires into the receiver
(
see page 10
).
3. Bundle wiring as necessary.
4. Make sure the O-ring is properly seated
into the groove in the receiver box bottom
so that the cover will not pinch it or
damage it in any way.
5. Place receiver box top onto receiver box
bottom and install and tighten the two
3x10mm cap screws securely.
6. Inspect the cover to make sure that the
O-ring seal is not visible.
7. Arrange the wires neatly using the wire
guides on the receiver box top (B). Excess
ESC and servo wiring should be bundled
inside the receiver box. Pull out all available
antenna wiring from the receiver box.
8. Apply a small bead of silicone grease to the
foam on the wire clamp (C).
9. Install the wire clamp and tighten the two
2.5x8mm cap screws securely (D).
