Very Strong point!
I completely agree here with you.
When trying to compete with other RC cars all other drivers have to turn off
their transmitters to give me that 20 meter of transmitting range. When
these others are turned on the range falls back to about 5 meter and me
running behind me vehicle.

btw:  I would like to see more parts to make more versatile vehicles. and I
would love to see
I have two dirt crushers here and build a 4 axle vehicle but it doesnt
resemble a truck because there are just enough parts to connect the axles to
the receivers and so I wasn't able to make it look like a truck...

(cut and paste if nessisary)

What would be nice too is a 4wheel drive (rear and front axle driven) car.
If the surface does get wet the dirt crusher spins very heavilly and in
rough terrain it is very difficult to get anywhere with just rear wheel
drive.

Dear LEGO,

I recently bought the 8369 Dirt Crusher RC. It's a great car in many ways, • fast,
strong and fun to drive on allmost any terrain.
Though I'm not compleatley happy with it. Why? Becous the range of the
controller is rediculusly short. I can bearly drive 10m away before the • car
stopps responding. For indoor models such as 8366 Supersonic RC 10m is • still
short, but I suppose it is acceptable. But for an outdoor model, as the • Dirt
Crucher is, I find it compleatley unacceptable.

I would sugest you release an "upgrade"-kit for 8369 (or for all your • RC-cars as
they seem to use the same controller) containing a new controller with • greater
range. It could be a bit bigger as well, to house a more potent battery • pack
then a single 9v battery (to cope with the increased power output).


Best regards,
Henrik
