Do you know if the RC receivers have the right pulse width to Jaguars or Victors? Also does anyone have any experience with tamper proof screws/bolts?
Don't use the triangular 'tamper proof' bolts. These are the easiest type to defeat since one can usually find a Torx driver of hex key that fits. Similarly, avoid really expensive proprietary stuff, think tri-wing or square. Both are very secure (unless you find someone from Canada) and if you use an uncommon size the security will be further enhanced. The other option is one-way screws, but they would make maintenance a pain.
