Just wondering if anybody has had emitter range problems with recent clark boards , I'm a big clark fan but recently ran into issues , with either emitter burning out or bad range, inside the house I have to drive up 10 to 15 feet to make a hit , outside in daylight, I basically have to drive on top of you , lol , I've tried everything, emitter changes , wiring , test emitters with 940 bulb and the blue bulbs , wire connection, voltage at emitter , 1.5 minimum , changing boards from one tank to another with different apple or mushroom setups, henglong, hammerhead , impact , also change of batteries from ni h to lipos, just wondering if anybody has had same problem , any help would be appreciated , thanks

Some of the early boards had issues but not heard complaints in last few years so thought it had been resolved.

Clark posted either on website or forums of a resistor which could be bypassed to increase range but referred to tk20 boards so don't know if same fix can be done to tk22 boards.

You say you tried a lot of IR emitters, what power rating are they? Should be 100mA upwards for best performance.

Thanks , I've heard of bypassing the resistor , going to try that if I can figure out which resistor it is , the bulbs I've been using are 940 clear and the blue colored bulbs
