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 2.5x8mm screws that secure the wire clamp.

2.Remove the 2.5x8mm screws that secure the receiver box lid to the chassis. Lift the lid up and toward you to disengage the lid’s tab from its slot in the chassis.

3.You can now access the receiver. Unplug the servo cables from the receiver and remove the receiver.

5.Lift the receiver box cover and plug the servo and speed control leads into the receiver (E). Refer to page 8 for the wiring diagram.

6.Bundle the wires so they fit beneath the receiver box cover. You may secure the receiver to the chassis with mounting tape if you wish, but this is not required. The excess wire beneath the cover will prevent the receiver from rattling.

7.Make sure the blue O-ring is properly seated into the groove around the receiver cover base so the cover will not pinch or damage the O-ring. Snap the receiver box cover into place (F).

8.Inspect the cover to make sure the O-ring is not visible. If it is, remove the cover and reposition the O-ring. With the O-ring and cover properly seated, install the 2.5x8mm screws and tighten them securely (G).
