Re: why do you guys keep doing range mods that dont work?

Sorry hog, I'm definetly gonna have to disagree with you on this one. When I recieved my 35mhz Supra, the range was absolutely horrible... something like 3-5 ft. at the most. I opened that controller up and removed that nasty old crip-crap and immediatly upped the range to 15-17 ft.(indoors). I decided not to do the tele-mod on this one cause the range was fine for me.

I agree that this is definetly the least intrusive of the mods, though be careful when disassembling the controller... you can easily pull it to far apart therefore breaking solder points (ususally from the battery box to the PCB... there too damn short lol).
