3. Position the speed control where it is protected in the event of a crash Install the speed control so that you have easy access to the connector and buttons Make sure there is enough clearance about 3cm between the speed control power wires anten na and receiver Avoid any direct contact between power components the receiver or the antenna This can cause interference If interference occurs position the components at a different place in the model The aerial should be run vertically up and away from the receiver Avoid contact with any parts made of carbon fibre or metal If the aerial is too long don t coil up the excess length It is better to cut it down to a length of about 35 cm See also the instructions supplied with your radio control system Make sure there are enough cooling slits in the body This will increase the performance and life of all the electronic components HEATSINK To achieve best perfomance even under extreme conditions the heatsink has been directly mounted to the speed control This ensures the best possible heat transfer away from the speed control Caution Never attempt to remove the heatsink because the speed control will get damaged if you do this The heatsink is an integral part of the speed control and therefore cannot be removed Because of the physical principles of brushless technology the speed controls do get a little hotter then brushed systems Therefore it is required to let the spee
