WOW! 75 feet indoors?
Daaaaaaaam

I would think Hoq, that you would have put that PCB on a MS chassis.


Guys, my rang is outside, my cars don't stutter as much indoors but the rnge around the cubes is still 6-8 feet, less in the "break area" sandwiched between the vending machine, icebox, and microwave (usually running as I only run my car there when warming my food!)

I actually wish I had done more testing as I do not have any extreme "control" testing outside yet, maybe on my next car... if I get one

Fellas, there IS a cripple capactitor in the car. A couple of things, 1) it's not a resistor, 2) it has been added as an after production type thing, you can tell by the solder work on it. This capacitor isn't fixed to the board using neato SMT (surface mount tech), but manually added.

more info coming........
