I think ~100meter. But your go for 50mter you already cannot see the car....so dont worry lah. AM only abit slow respond.

i think can go 200m max depends on rx batt supply (4.8 or 6volts) and antenna length.thats according to my lhs shop keeper huh!!. but i tried around 100m already no signal.so i guess its around 100m

... pull the antenna to the max, and hold it high up in the air..
but be careful of lightning...

hahaha.. yeah.. i think +/- 100 meters max.. good thing most of the tracks are within this range. After 100m, still can run, but u risk a "runaway" car.

I tried this near the factory flat PDI posting bay, noticed after 70m response is bad, and glitching. And the crosswind in that area making it difficult to control.

How about FM? how far? The cheapest FM set will cost how much?

I tested Futaba MJ vs Sanwa MX-3A. Both AM, but Sanwa has VERY LITTLE glitch! (amazing! that shows the radio transmission quality). It went further than the 200m mark, before I begin to notice the car very small (& scorching hot sun), and return back, still in control. I guess it can go further, but didnt try. Too many cars there.

I didn't test FM, went straight to Spektrum

i think around that range also cos the bandwidth is around 27-75mhz for both am n fm.just fm and spectrum higher speed and precision in wave signal.

about PDI posting bay,i have experienced it to.very bad outcome.thats how i crashed and burn my pocket on my last gp car hehe.

can get around rm350 and above.2pl fm would do for the cheapest. paying more would be paying for more function and whats upgrade for the rest such as hrs and so on.
