Re: Cripple cap for cars w/o cripple caps

[Admin]

update: radio shack’s stock was limited but i got a bunch of stuff. i only worked on the ‘L3’ resistor (the one from the antenna). the one on my 27mhz car is 4.9ohm. the one on my friends 35mhz spec ed car (with cripple cap)is 2.2ohm. i replaced the resistor with a piece of wire and the range got worse although i might have messed up doing that. i also tried a 220kohm resistor for the hell of it which made the range extremely bad. so that tells me that the L3 resistor does have an impact on the range. next to try is: get a 2.2ohm resistor and try that, retry the piece of wire, replace the C3 cap with a 104 cap and then play with the transistors.
