i love these xmods but i cannot accept their poor quality construction..
bought my 1st one a red supra/put in suspension upgrades and even altered the rack for tighter turns..then put in stage 2 motor and bearing upgrades..experimented with awd and liked that too..
then the car started stuttering.
tried fresher batt in tx tried new batts in chassis tried better soldering job on car ant lead tried cleaning contacts on xmitter ant tried pushing tx batt harder to contacts
screamed in agony as car stutters anytime it gets more than 7 feet away..
ripped all my hopups off+returned it..
opened 2nd xmod it seemed better..put in hopups and slowly but surely range decreased..
went to ratshack again and showed them how useful a 15 mpr car can be with 5 feet of range..
they opened up a 3rd xmod case and i assembled tires+ant+batt in front of them..new controller+batts and the 3rd one also lost signal intermittantly but this time at any range..
yyyeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaagggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh
at least they gave me my money back
the thing that makes me angry is i see so much potential in this chassis but the propriatary tx and rx inadequacy renders it useless and unreliable

i do wish you all the best of luck with your xmods

i dono i get about 30foot easily.

Perhaps you should wrap yourself in tin foil, it sounds as if you yourself might be causing the interference.

Just joking wit ya. Sorry it turned out that way. Range is definitely a deal-breaker. I've had really good luck with mine so far, though. For a second I thought it might be the particular frequency of your car, but I have a red Supra as well.
