Hey all. I've been playing around with my very second hand m12 and now heard of the range issues, which I don't think I'm suffering from but thought I'd ask.

Setting up the car and walking away from it about 50meters, I can see the wheels turn fast still (white wheels are easy to see and come into view quickly). At a round 60meters it clearly slows down a little and glitches (there was a car in the way a little).

I've never tried this before, but I got my other sanwa transmitter (mt-s) and tried the same. They are roughly similar behavior on distance. So I don't think there is a problem, unless my mt-s is also poor performing.

I've not had a problem at one of the tracks I go to (max distance from rostrum is 35m) , so largely I don't care, it was more out of interest. When people had the range issue, what range were people getting?

This is with an antenna less receiver also, all in the box of my 8th scale buggy. With car and myself at ground level, unlike a track where I'm up on the rostrum. I can only image with an aerial and being raised would help alot.
