Upon reviewing several You-tube videos I noted that some had the wires from the receiver to the ESC wrapped several times around a ferrite annular ring. Is this to stop interference?

It forms an inductor and slows the edges of the ripple, especially important with a switch-node BEC. This ring should be located close to the receiver, not the ESC or BEC. I also add a small, electrolytic capacitor to the RCVR using an unused port. The combination of the inductor and capacitor makes a solid filter. The cap also really helps if you're using a high force servo or digital type. These can pull large amounts of current and glitch the RCVR.Comment

Many thanks. Would these be suitable please?
These ones a receiver end fitting should fit through the inner diameter

I usually remove the ferrite ring. Never noticed a difference. Except that it didn't get in the way with my wire routing anymore.32" carbon rivercat single 4s 102mph, 27” mini Rivercat 92mph, kbb34 91mph, jessej micro cat(too fast) wasComment

Many thanks. My son just uses the glitch buster capacitor on the receiver.Comment
