I have tried them in both nitro and electrics cars, which makes no difference.
Can anyone tell me where or if i can send them off to get them checked as they're not cheap.
The rx's are sr3100 model abt £50 ish each.
It is almost as if the receiver signal amplifier is not recognising the tx signal strength is reducing and thus increase the amplifier gain.
Any idea's !!!!!

I once sent mine across a field (curiosity) worked fine until I could drive it no further, about 100meters. Might be worth checking/ replacing the aerial. May have been pinched/ knicked and your rx distance dramatically reduced.
The SR3500 less fussy, just tucked the aerial in amongst the other wires and it would just keep going. As soon as moved to the SR3100, that would need to go into a tube and hang out the top exactly as per instructions, or it would do as you described at about the same distance.
