RS10 TX Range

[iggy809]

I don't get to use my Rockslide a lot, however it seems to be loseing range. Yesterday The stock FM Tx@ 10.2v would allow me to range out about 20' before I would lose control. Does'nt seem right. Question is, what is the range of the Stock radio? Or what is the solution?
Thanks John

put in some fresh batteries, your gun should run about 12v, should get you 35 to 40 feet i would say, enough for a crawler lol. i am also still running FM, I keep eying a digital upgrade.

I still run a stock radio and yeah, you only get about 20' on it, ever. I always change my batteries once it drops below 11 volts too. I'm holding out for a good 4 or 6 channel system.
-in the meantime, Give this a read through. some tips to keep the system you have at least running at it's best. Stop Radio Glitching

will that radio work with the 4 wheel steering?

I have a nice 3 channel but my 3 wheel steering doesnt work right with it, so im stuck using my fm radio.

i occasionally browse for the 2.4 version of the rs10 radio... prices seem to be coming down on it

It does not work with 4ws out of the box. But there is a hack for it that will allow for the 4ws to work...

I have the FS and love it, just locked out the rear steer and went that route for now. I can practically run my rc all the way down my street with no issues.. Also I found one of my AA lthm battery chargers plugs directly into transmitter to easily charge..

that fly sky is the one that can be modded ain't it?

if you can solder, the mod sounds pretty straight forward, any one got that site where you can order them pre modded?

GT3B Hack Question and Answer Thread

You can buy them pre-hacked and in a few different options. 32_d3gr33s, check out the GT3B hack thread for a full list of features. Out of the box, the unhacked radio only has a 2 position 3rd channel. If you buy the hacked version, you'll be able to use your rear steer.
