Re: HELP!! My silver S2000 Range is crap!

[Admin]

Hey, I had the same problem with my silver S2000 (27mhz) as you, I bought it at K-mart (I don’t know about you, but the timing’s right so I assume so too) and the range sucked, but it wasn’t as bad as 2 metres. I tried looking for the cripple capacitor, not there, so I tried the better and longer antenna mod, but that didn’t moticeablly increase my range. As well as this problem, the car also had big problems reversing, so I decided to exchange it and when I got my yellow (40mhz) S2000 it was sweet.

Now I’m by no means saying that all silver S2000’s are hopeless while the yellow ones are great, but this is just my experience which I thought you might find useful.

But before you cry foul and return your car, try putting a brand new pair of high quality (I use energizer now and my range is as far as 9 metres)alkaline batteries and see if that helps.

Hope it works out.
