The secret to the range is in the controller, not the wire antenna. In fact I believe the wire antenna hinders reception. I strted switching the steering wires around so I could use Microsizer controllers, and my range went to crap. I put a regular antenna on the cars and the recption is the same as a Microsizer.
...and as far as the motors only being as fast as a 2.2, I have to strongly disagree. Maybe you have a dud, because I've bought like 8 of these cars, and all the motors performed consistantly. I can say without a doubt they are faster than a 2.2, because the pink endbell looks just like a Zip Zap 2.2, and I've gotton them mixed up, when that happens I know because the 2.2 is so much slower. I find these to be about in line with the Zip Zap 2.8, but with way more power, which makes them great for dual cells. Hogjowls has said these are the best motors for dual cells, and I wholeheartedly agree with him. I bought extra cars just for the motors.
