I believe I have the best indoor ragne of anyone so far
wish i could spell, of course I mean RANGE
Earlier today my friend broke the bud of the antenna off.
I took the entire wind-up antenna out of the controller, and then ran the blue wire with the metal contact out of the antenna hole.
Then I cut open a CAT5 cable and got around a foot and a half section of 1 twisted pair and stripped 1 inch of plastic off it.
I wrapped the inch of copper threw the screw hole on the metal attachemnt on the antenna wire.
Then I opened the car and moved the antenna so it comes straight up out of the back and took out the knot.
I am positive my calcuations are correct because my lab has raised floors with tiles that are 2 foot by 2 foot.
I charged the car 2 times and put it down right at the begining of a tile and drove the car stright forward untill it quit and I could still make it jitter enough to bring it back.
The total tiles traveled was 26 and it made it into the 27th.
So for you math majors thats ~52 feet indoors.
I think I can sneak in a webcam and record it if you guys dont believe me, but what would I have to gain by lying in the first place
