NOTE
FET servo wire (7.2V) can also generate noise, position them as
far away as possible from the receiver and the antenna.
Space available in your model will determine how much padding can be
placed around the receiver. Choose a good quality foam rubber, such as
those available from Du-Bro, Carl Goldberg, Sig, and others. R/C foam is
made from natural rubber, which eliminates vibration far better than synthetic
foam, (such as the kind used for packing consumer goods).
Many modelers prefer to install their receiver into the model at this point,
with no further protection. Another sizeable group of modelers prefer to go
a step further, and place the foam-wrapped receiver into a plastic bag,
secured with a rubber band around the receiver case as well as the servo
and battery wires.

CAUTION
The receiver contains precision electronic parts. These parts are
vulnerable to vibration and shock.
NOTE
When wrapping the receiver, keep in mind that you are trying to
cushion a delicate piece of electronic equipment, so "wrap" the foam,
don't "stretch" it around the receiver.

HELPFUL HINT
A simple way to isolate the receiver from vibration is by attaching it
to the chassis or mounting plate with thick double-sided tape.
Rubber Spacer
HELPFUL HINT
Always install the receiver as far as possible from the motor, ESC,
NiCd/NiMH batteries, motor wire or other noise sources.
Especially, do not route the motor wire next to the receiver or
receiver antenna.
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. Make sure your motor is equipped with noise
suppression diodes or capacitors.
