I lost almost all my range in my zz mt.All the wires are all soldered in and not loose,and it charges fine.It just lost almost all of its range after I put a tricell in it.Dont't know what happened.Can anyone help?

are the batts touching the pcb? tried a different controller (of the same frequency)? is the capacitor that goes across the motor terminals (in the chassis) still connected?

I'll try all that ,but I'm pretty sure the capacitor is still conected.

EDIT
Yes,all of its connected.No the batts aren't touching and it is still the same with another controller.

i also had this problem, i desoldered the entenna and soldered it in the opposite way, so it just faced up.. worked great! then i used a straw to hold it up right which gave it a lot of range and functioned as a wheelie bar lol!
