Help - identifying a part

Hi all,

I have acquired a Trex 450S (ignore the XL canopy it is an S!)

All setup ready to go. I'm just curious as to what this is, I have highlighted in red the part. It is like a coil 1 end of the lead from the ESC and the other going to the receiver.

Any ideas what it is and what it is for?

They are used to reduce noise on signal runs. It's not uncommon to have them on the BEC wires coming from your ESC. That's what it looks like you have there. They keep noise induced on the wires from entering your receiver and other gear.

Ah right, is it needed on a GHZ system or will it not matter either way?

I am running 2.4 and took mine off. No problems that I have noticed..
