Did some experimenting with my ZZs right after I got them last night.
Here are my approximate results:
27Mhz:
In the house:
5' range - stock
~8-10' range after drilling a 1/16" hole in the front left fender (like a car radio antennae) and threading the antennae through it.
NOTE:Just couldn't do any better in the house. I untied the antennae know, checked the hair thin wires in the chassis to make sure they aren't touching anything, took my controller apart to make sure everything was attached right. Shrug
15-17' outside
49Mhz:
In the house:
as far as I can get away from it in my tiny house. I was 2 rooms away 35' or so and still controlling it. (Drilled hole in front left fender for hood again)
Ouside: Didn't test yet.
In my office at work today though it only goes about 7' before sputtering out. But I'm surrounded by computers and electrical equipment so I'm guessing that there is some sort of interferance here.
Also maybe the 27Mhz just doesn't like my house for the interferance or something since I get an OK range outside. The 49Mhz still kicks it's ass generally though.
Maybe I'll try replacing the antenna on the 27Mhz one later on...
