Yay! I've had my car less than a week and this little baby could become lengendary!

Actually, I still have only modest range. Today I took some motor winding wire and wraped it around and around a toothpick, the entire length and back again. I dunno how much wire that is. probably a couple feet of wire. Looks like a big red match stick. I left a little cowtail end, sanded off the enamel coating and tie-wrapped it to my car's spring antenna. This was going to be big. . . A super long coil antenna. . . results: Crappy. No better than my copper foil. Oh well. I think I really need to look at my controller. I think my controller is just weak.

Is anyone else out there using a brand new 57mhz controller with crappy range? It's Ok in the room, but I don't have the kind of wiz-bang 50 feet away kind of range some people report. Cripple caps removed from my car, and from controller. Next I am going to start fooling around with adding a custom antenna to the controller.
