I decided to mod my slaves so they a bit more reliable and get a bit more range out of them. Before the mod they would fire around 60ft, any further they flashed only sometimes, after the mod they flashed at around 200ft perfect.
    Basically what I did was wrap some copper wire around the chip and left a bit of slack so it would then fit into my stereo antenna. Then I drilled a hole just big enough for the antenna to fit so it was snug and dandy. It might seem pointless but it's working really good so far. You can be courageous and solder the antenna to the little hole the copper wire is wrapped in, but I wasn't sure if I was going to keep this mod or not so I just wrapped the copper instead of soldering it. I will solder it later on though to make it permanent. -------------------- |
