So i bought the Volcano S30 and through the process of breaking in the engine i noticed it has a very short radius from the transimitter, like 50 yards. I am curious if this is because of the short antena on the truck itself, any way to improve the range of use? So far i am impressed with the truck

With the truck having the 2.4 ghz system the antenna will be rather short.

How short is the antenna?

How freshare the batteries?

Have you tried re-binding the receiver to the transmitter?

did you buy it new or used?
is the radio a 2.4ghz or a AM radio?

yep i bought it new, and its a 2.4ghz. Reading through the instructions after posting last night i found a sheet explaining the binding process. I thought it was just showing what the functions of the controler

thanks for the help guys
