As far as radio interference from other teams goes...only if someone is on the same channel AND set to the same team number will they "take control" of your machine...if they are simply on the same channel, you will experience radio cutout, due to the fact that if the RC recieves a data packet on the right frequency, but wrong team number, it goes into a "no data" state, just like if you had unplugged your OI.
