Help Me Science Guys!!

Boo7a, Thanx for clearing that up. It probably is a inductor or something. What about the color of the stripes? Will an inductor's stripes still use silver or gold for resistance accuracies?
Also, I love the torque. The problem is the sticking motion it goes through. When it goes out of range or has any signal interference, it will continue the last command given for a little while. My range on the poor thing is only about 4 ft with tons of interference. Basically, when I hit the go button, it keeps accelerating out of control, doing things that usually resemble acrobatics. If I could get a cleer signal to it with no interference, then I could just start off slower by tapping the go button. But I literaly have to have the antenna inches away from the car to get a good signal.

Sorry I don't have a digital camera right now to get pictures. I've got a friend that has one, so I'll have to borrow it because I think we could all benefit from some more proffessional analysis.

JackD 1. Yes, definately. I replaced the wires again with regular copper coated wires and it's still crazy fast. I did put a die cast ambulance body (I made it) on it for extra weight, and put all slick tires on so it wouldn't grip so much. It's still my fastest dual cell!!!! I just can't control the damn thing. 2. Yes the fricking thing still sticks rediculously. That's why I can't control it.

I went out and perchased a high quality antenna, and I'm gonna try that. I'll keep you guys posted. I don't expect it to work. As far as doing your own dual cell mod to the super bits, I would wait until you can increase the range and get rid of the interference problem. It actually makes me want to cry, because tomy did finally make a very good car this time, but the controller still seems to be a problem, and now they are on different sub-frequencies, so I can't even use a better made controller from a clone.

Sorry PH2, I was just skeptical. I know you're much better at this stuff than me. I hope I didn't offend you.

Can I put an inductor in there somewhere. If that resistor looking thing is an inductor, then could I take that sucka out and replace it with a better, tunable inductor?
