how far?

[skeeter1255]

i have an rc10gt and had a quick question, how far can i run my car without me losing it in range and not be able to controll it because.... I've seen some HUGE tracks that are 200x200 and was wondering can mine go that far or not because i dont want to lose it. please Help

Depends on the radio, whether your AM or FM and the condition of the batteries, but generally, yeah, you should be fine.

Do yourself a favor, though. Get a failsafe and a throttle return spring. That way, if you happen to go out of range or the batteries dump on ya, you won't have a runaway.

The best way is to turn on the TX and RX and walk away from it until it loses signal or control.Just make sure you don't start the engine up..LOL..Most guys the fly airplanes always check thier range before they fly at the local flying field.

Yup! That's about the only way, man! You'll be surprised, though, it's a pretty good clip!

Line of sight is your range provided you have your radio antenna up and your receiver antenna is full length...

i know my range...its as far as I can see...which is about 800ft, then i can't see which way it facing.
