Show me the Governor!
 

My Microsizer has terrible range.

Could be the Car, could be the Remote.

I have seen other pictures with a registor as the governor, and when removed has given better range.

I don't see that, or others I have seen, on my remote.

Any help?

you could remove the crippler capaciter in the remote... go to www.questformadness.com , they will show you how to do it

I think you are reffering to a cripple capaciter. If you dont see one on the controller, maybe you have one on the car itself. I had this on my microsizer sport and after I removed it I had great range.

i also removed the cripple capicot in my car as well, i DID notice notice a change, the remote is what really helped was the remote mod...

Did the mod
 

I removed the resistor. No difference, at lease nothing obvious.

im telling you. a 3rd battery in series in the controller will double your range. in combo with a larger antenna you will notice a big increase. or you can rip things off your circuit board or hope that using neat-o orange wire will magically give you 50foot range.

Whats that black box with the ribbon wire coming out of the bottom of your remote?

hey WTF
is that big black box with blue wires stickin out of it?

I think...that If i read his earlier posts correctly...

it attaches to his serial port (i think) so it can be controlled by his computer...

i think

Hmm, it doesn't appear that you have a cripple capacitator on your controller, but here's a list of stuff you can try instead :D :

1. Undo the antenna knot under the car's PCB.

2. Install brand *spankin* new batteries in the remote, or do the triple-battery controller mod like hog suggested. Note-I'm not sure how to do this, but I'm sure a l33t electronics d00d like you can pull it off.

3. Install a telescopic antenna from RS on your car's remote.

4. Buy some 22awg or higher solid copper cable from RS, and use a bit for a new antenna for your car.

5. Hold the darn thing over your head?

6. Have I run out of ideas?

Well, if none of these suggestions work, and you're abolutely sure that the cripple cap removal on the car did nothing for range, than I suggest you re-solder in the car's crip cap. It will at least help to block out interference from other Bit frequencies. I say this because after removal of my Hiroto's car crip cap, I noticed my 27mhz controller was able to control the 57mhz car. Alas, it's quirks like those that make these little guys so dang fun! :D
