I recently bought 5 BitcharG's Real ones
not microsizers either... so far I have only opened 3 of them, the first was a White Skyline (27mhz), and it went about 6 foot... and would stop if it was facing me, would keep going if it was facing away from me... so I unknoted the antenna and unkinked it etc... it now can go about 10 or 11 feet from TX....
the other 2 that I opened cant gomore then a foot and a half from the TX.. i have to like hover the end of the TX antenna over the stupid car to get it to move... I might as well have a cord'ed car.. so each Bit has its own "personality" I guess... the other 2 freqs were 57 and 35mhz.. the 35 totaly sucked, and the 57 would go just far enough away that I could almost not reach it sitting on the floor...
I am now starting to search the forum for the FIX it ideas.. I think the antenna needs resoldering... on my bad ones, apears to be at least one broken strand.
