from 27mhz to 40 mhz

[b4rs]

ok, many of you will probably know that i am currently looking to move from 27 mhz to 40mhz changing my transmitter. but can i just buy a 40 mhz transmitter or do i need to upgrade my servo and crystals to 40mhz aswell? i am a little lost on this topic and i dont know much about wavelenghts or even transmitters or decent makes. the reason why i want to upgrade is i am having problems when i use my buggy outdoors. it goes around 30ft away and then cuts out to 50% throttle even though i am pressing for full throttle. only when it comes into around 20ft away does it regain full speed without jittering. any help on this would be appreciated. do i need to upgrade to 40mhz? or do i have a different problem. thankyou
(sorry for the essay)

have you checked to see if there is a split in your receiver wire ?? or maybe batteries need changin in tranny ?? Faulty Crystal?? check things like that 1st before shelling out on new stuff ...

Servo will be fine with 40mhz (as well esc), but you will need new crystals. However, this does not seem like a transmitter problem. Like Wraggy said, check all batteries and wires before buying new stuff.

yeah, bateries are fine and i have checked for splits in the antenna, it may be that i have 6 energizer 2100 mah recharbeables and 2 other brand 3000 mah in the tranny?
