This is a mod I have done to be able to double the charge time on your controller. It is good for those times when you’re out in the trenches and you need an extra charge. This was done on the Aussie release of Bits known as the Compact Char-G.
Here’s how it is done:

I’ve been doing this method on a few cars now and settled on this being my standard for all my cars when increasing the range. With the method outlined below I can achieve 10 meters (approx 30 feet) indoors.
First of all, here’s my stock MS 49Mhz with a Skyline shell and crapola antenna, it will be the guinea pig for today’s little exercise…

Ok, so I wasn’t sure how to cover everything at once, and not get too complicated, so I decided to break it down into a series.
In this first lesson we’ll cover preparation, basic painting technique, and laying flames in a single base color, and adding body color last.

The Dremel has tons of uses, and I’ve sworn by mine for many years, but I’m starting to find that’s it’s overkill for such small work. I’m finding that if you just want to do something small like remove a body tab, you can just shave it with an exacto blade before you could dig out the dremel, and need to clean out those wheel wells for larger wheels? Just scrape at it with the top of the blade angled towards the direction your scraping. Sure it takes a minute or 2 longer, but the results are so much cleaner. Want to cut out a window? With the dremel you’ll probably take out half the side of the body. Use an eacto blade and carefully scrape the tip back in forth in the window lines, and it will eventually pop out, and looks so much cleaner than with a dremel. Want to chop a body in half? Well the knife set I have came with a razor saw for the large red handle, and a miter box, so you can make perfectly straight clean cuts, and using the large red handle with the knife blade allows you to safely apply more force, and have more control when doing so, than with a smaller Exacto blade .
