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.

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.

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.

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
