2PL range problems
Greetings
I have a traxxas stampede with the Futaba 2PL AM radio system 75mhz(w/R142JE rx and S3003 servo). After I installed it I noticed that the range was about 100 feet. I can live with that because I like to stay pretty close. But now I upgraded to a new brushless motor system from Novak and my range is now 40 or 50 feet at best. This is after I: twisted the wires for the battery/motor moved the rx way up to the front of car relocated antenna to the front of car before this I was getting approx 25 feet of range. Do you have any suggestions? I think I need to make the radio system more isolated from the ESC/Motor interference, but how? Thanks! and by the way I love the 2PL system! Just want better range [:o] |
RE: 2PL range problems
You need to make sure the receiver antenna is as fully-exposed to the transmitter's signal as possible. That means that you run the antenna up the tube and let any excess dangle. Don't wrap any excess around a rod, or coil it up inside the car. Don't let any part of the antenna's copper wire touch any part of the car. If all else fails, you may need to send in your system for tuning and alignment.
