RF shield material

[Combatcm]

I have a reciever on one of my buggies and like the place that I put it. But it close to the metal pinion and spur mesh. I wanted to know if there was some material I could put in the middle of the reciever and the mesh to lessen glitches?

Magnesium is a good RF insulator.

Go with the cheaper stuff....Aluminum Foil. It's easy to form and fold and works quite well.

Try aluminum duct tape.

I did this and it works! Take some scrap lexan or I used that plastic that most products come packaged in. I made a little tray that holds my receiver. Then i made another tray slightly larger than the first. I put a layer of foil in the larger tray then I put the smaller tray on top of the foil. Glued the whole thing together. No more glitches.

I'll experiment just covering the receiver in foil.

A note here. If you cover the receiver in fiol, you will have bigger problems than before. The foil has to be seperated from all electrics or it will cause interferance. That's why I sandwiched it between two layers of lexan.

Sandwiching the foil between lexan is the easiest and best way to do this. If you seal up the lexan and form a box, you've essentially created an RF shielded receiver box.

<glad someone took my advice from last year :D>

What about using bits from one of the anti-static bags that a lot of computer parts come packaged in?

I don't think Anit-Static bags are RF sheilded, they are only static sheilded.
