Just to clear onelittle thing up. The multi-controller is 4-BAND (frequency) and 2-CHANNEL :smiley1:

As the other guys have suggested, a longer antenna on both the controller and car will help a little. Similarly, fresh batteries will always give you some extra “kick”. Also – have you tried running the car outside – away from your home/office equipment. Quite often there’s all sorts of nasty RF interference about that can upset the Char-G.A run outside might just rule out issues with the actual controller.

Now – onto the multi-controller “cripple capacitor” question. The answer is “possibly”. Sorry I can’t be more helpful than that. I have two multis and cannot find ANY trace ofa capacitor to retard output strength. HOWEVER, I’ve read posts (search the forums) from a number of folks that state they’ve located a specific capacitor, removed it, and experienced significant range performance improvements.

Just a quick word of warning on pulling the multi-controller apart. There’s LOTS of little parts to contend with and they’re a nightmare to get back in the right spot for a correct reassembly. Take your time and watch what you’re doing VERY carefully :smiley4:

BTW – what frequency is the car?
