Yorkshireman Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Should be more than that range really, I still run a couple of my old cars on old radios....your batteries new ? Aerial screwed in tight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 you have extended the aerial to full extent ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob foster Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 What happen s at the edge of range? What I mean is how do know its a tx problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shudson Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Try a different pair of crystals. They can deteriorate with age or physical abuse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 what your describing is what can happen at end or near end of range but it should be moire than 10 meters tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob foster Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 The best piece of advice to anyone with nitro, use a failsafe. The last thing you want is the throttle to jam at edge of range. You could start a process of elimination, I would firstly check all batteries are full, including tx, then check servo travel/potential binding issues. Also like said the crystal can be dodge, either loose or damaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shudson Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Is receiver aerial damaged/cut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
