radio cutting out
 

i had my skyline for a few days and it worked fine. yesterday i put in all wheel drive and the drift stage 2 moter. once i got it all back together i went to run it. it works fine but once it gets like 10-15 feet away from me it looses signal. the antenna is hooked up and the controller antenna is on. i duno what happened. i think the antenna wire touched one of the batteries while i was installing the awd, but only for like a second. im not sure whats wrong with it or how to fix it.

Battery in the Tx

yea its definately the battery in the controller-

This happened to me so I took a piece of masking tape and rolled it up to the thikness I needed it and put it between the battery and the battery cover/door.

hrm, i tried what you suggested and jammed some paper into the controller to make the battery have a tighter fit but it still cuts out after it gets like 10 feet away from me. any other suggestions?

Try a new battery.

mine is doing the same thing..batt in tx is ok..good contact..10 foot range then a stuttering..this is the 2nd one and still tx problem..ant in tx seated well.happened when i put in stage2 and bearings and awd..the front to back drivetrain shaft is really wet w/lube i pulled it out+put it back in during bearing install.could it have fouled something inside?/

well i just got fed up with it and returned my car. they took it even tho it was all scratched up and i broke one of the mirrors. i just finished putting in the stage 2, awd, and a light kit again and it works fine now. thank god

if it smoked its messed up

To All Having Problems With Cutting Out
 

I have noticed a wierd thing while running my xmod. If you lower the controller while running it tends to want to fade out and studder, but just as soon as you raise the controller back up into a straight up and down position, it runs fine. I know this sounds wierd and all, but I have two xmods and they both do the same thing.

now i am really puzzled..put in old stage 1 motor w/plastic heatsink car still has no range..fresh batts etc doesnt help

the radio reciever is likely fried, mine had the same prob, i think it was cause i worked on the car with the bats in it. i took it back with no problems

How did you get the 30% discount?

I think that he may work at radioshack.
