Radio-controlled (RC) cars have been around since the late 1960s, and they continue to be a popular hobby. RC cars are controlled by a transmitter, which sends signals to a receiver on the car. The receiver interprets these signals and sends them to the car’s electric motor, which then moves the vehicle in the desired direction.
The location of the receiver on an RC car varies depending on the type of car and its manufacturer. Generally speaking, though, most RC cars will have their receivers located either in the center of the chassis or in the rear. Smaller models may have their receivers located in the front or even near one of the axles.
The receiver is usually mounted on standoffs that hold it away from other components. This helps to ensure that it doesn’t pick up interference from other parts of the vehicle, such as electric motors or servos. It also helps to keep it cool since overheating can cause damage to sensitive electronics.
Conclusion
Where is the receiver on an RC car? The location will vary depending on the type and manufacturer of your particular model, but most receivers are typically located either in the center or rear of the chassis.
It should be mounted on standoffs that help keep it away from other components and cool.
