Help Me Science Guys!!

[boho]

Well, I just did a dual cell to the lambo super bit. I also replaced all the internal wires with CAT 5 (besides the steering wires of course), as well as making the contacts to the motor very small (next best thing to hard wiring it I guessed). It has a 3.8 motor, 8:1 gear ratio and 2 stock nicads in series (internal). The thing is rediculously fast. The first time I hit the go button after charging it, it went airborne and landed upside down, from a smooth surface mind you. I swear I'm not full of it. I've never made a tri cell, but I would wager this super bit dual cell is just as fast or faster. It makes all the other dual cells I have look like Slowpoke Gonzales. I definately have reniewed hope for the super bits now.

Besides the obvious control problems that I'm going to have to work with, I have a rather cliche problem. THE RANGE. It's so damn fast, it goes out of it's measly range within the blink of an eye.

SCIENCE GUYS, could you please, please, please open the controllers of these new super bits, and tell me what I can do to this poor thing.

I've already tried CAT 5 wire, adjusting the pots and putting a teliscoping antenna on (2+ ft). It still goes about 4 ft. I've also tried resoldering the antenna for better connection. I believe there must be something in the controller killing the range.

Please help. This machine is definately worth the effort.

Also, has anybody else dual celled a super bit yet (not laymen's)? Is it just my car, or is anybody else getting these results?
