on the topic of radios...
i picked up a new stock idler gear just so i can futz around until my diff rebuilt kit, and robinson idler and diff gears get here...
when i had the car in the driveway today my radio (futaba 2ph) just seemed to have a range of about 30 feet. fortunately i never lost control, i managed to get the car turned around before i lost all control. i checked to make sure the antenna was tight, and it was, and since i checked it i havnt had a problem since. im thinking perhaps a broken solder joint where the antenna meets the board inside, and just touching it was enough to make a better connection on the joint, or perhaps it was just a fluke with some random interference in the neighborhood.
the radio is only a couple months old, how concerned should i be about this?
