Serious Problems!!!!
 

Hey guys i just got my bit, it is a tomy and everything, a white skyline on 27. Ok i opend it up and the range blew nuts so i undid the knot under the board and it still didnt help, i tried to do the pot thing also but it didnt help one bit. What should i do, im very scared.

this is normal!!! try redoing the antenna with either cat5 cable or a solid copper cable about 6-8 inches long.

You can try the Cat5 mod or the Telescope antenna on your controller. I think that those would help, you probably already know this but you can check out www.questformadness.com :D

**EDIT**

My bad, didnt know aero posted already, must of right before i did :D

Where can you get cat5 cable?

home depot, radio shack or a local computer store.........its also category 5 network or ethernet cable or CAT5....

so you use that huge cable or do you strip it and take a wire out of it?

strip it and there are 8 wires inside, just pick one. you can also double them up for increased range, but it adds extra weight to the back of the bit.........are you good at soldering???

Yes i am decent

Although should that work?, and i adjusted the pot alot i think.

I have some wire for sale that works great and looks good check it out if your interested.:cool:

Is it Cat5e? 2$+1$shipping=3$ for a small scrap of cat 5e?? What a bargin!! Perhaps its solid gold wire...
