Question Do MS PRO's have poor range?

I have seen a few posts about this recently. I don't have one yet, but am planning on getting one. This talk has got me thinking. Anyone who has one is this true/false? What freq do you have? Any info would be helpful to all. Thanks

this is just an educated guess but 27a 27b and 27c have poor range and 49a 49b and 49c have good range.

i hear ya

I am planning on getting one of the 49mhz cars to give better stock range, but really wondered if compared to regluar MSers the Pros were worse/better/same. You're right about the higher freq=better range. My 350Z (57mhz) is awesome as are my 45mhz & 49mhz cars. The 27 & 35 are much weaker out of the box.

I have heard the 57mhz fairlady sux. Mine did, so I killed it. My 45mhz LXX with a Zap antenna gets a magical 65 feet.

Re: Do MS PRO's have poor range?

As I stated in another thread, I have two 49 MHz PRO sets. Both work great, with good range. 8-12 feet in heavily "computerized" areas is not uncommon. (I run mine at work, with tons of PCs and various electronic equipment in close proximity.)

I got my MS pro at Toys R Us. They only had like 6 of them in stock, but they had, around 12 regular MS's and about 6 MS Sports, as well as 50 clones in stock for $9.99 each and even some somewhat larger mini rc cars for $14.99.

Read my post:

http://www.tinyrc.com/forums/showthr...&threadid=9540

I wrote Hobbico about my issue, They're looking into the issue.
I've heard that a lot of people get great range from theirs. I definately got a bad one! 49mhz
