Default rc truck / camera thingy...

So, I'm playing with this little rc truck, putting an x10 camera w/ pan/tilt on it... when the cam tilts I lose signal.

The transmitter and camera are on seperate boards inside the case. If I put the transmitter on the back of the truck so the antenna is constantly vertical, does anyone see any adverse reactions to this? Think the camera will handle it?

Thanks, I didn't think it would, But I did have to look up resistor codes again so I'm not too sure how much of AIT I remember...

Depends on size too of your R/C. Our bots are about the size of a 18" car rim.
