or you can go and try to rip things off of circuit boards and hope you dont mess up. or maybe adding "cat-5" wire will ad about 6inches of range.
Good to know. I'll also consider adding a 3rd battery to the controller, are there any write-ups on this? Today my friend is installing the thicker antenna, and when it gets home I'm dropping in a 150mAh battery as well.
