Has anyone done the maxxuav mod to their controller. Thinking about doing the evolite kit plus. Wondering if anyone has any experience with it and if they installed it themselves.
Maxx UAV anyone?

I've done the one without the Boosters which is basically the same thing. EASY. If you can use a screwdriver and precision drivers then it's a breeze. The boosters are all external as are the batteries for the boosters so it's still just the antenna signal wires in the remote.
Even unboosted for sure, I can only imagine boosted range

I have a P4P. I can only get like 2000 ft away before it starts loosing signal. I live in an urban area so I'm not expecting the 4.3 or whatever miles that DJI says it'll do but I'd like to go a little further than a quarter mile. I've been emailing Jake from maxx uav as to when they will have a system for the P4P and he said by the end of February.
I live in a hilly area with a fair amount of high trees and immediate obstructions. I first installed the Lite booster with the clean install kit. Without it, I was getting about 1700 feet in a congested area.
With the Lite Booster, I was getting about 2700 feet.
I just easily installed the EvoLite power.
Yesterday, a quick flight, cold weather but at 4000 feet, I was getting a strong signal.
And this is in an obstructed view setting with trees and hills.
And Jake answers the phone, e-mails, and follows all orders with immediate confirmation.

I tried Drone World's firebridge upgrade and it did wonders for my range even in urban areas. the remote still maintained its clean look without any boosters or batts hanging off the controller, i highly recommend it.

Did one, had them do one. Easy install but you toast the remote if you make a mistake. The $99 charge and two day return may be worth it.
I noted the Firebridge upgrade. Reviews find both excellent. The firebridge design works as well, perhaps somewhat better when boosted. The differences appear minimal in terms of function.
Pick the one you like. Jake will help if a problem occurs.

Yep installed Maxx uav evolite kit with boosters on P3P remote control...install fairly straight forward and you can get some serious range.

Me Too, did it on my P4 with the amps and Max UAV antenna and it's great, lots of distance.

What distance are you getting? And in what flying environment?

gone out to 37k (7miles)..can go further depending on what type of external battery used...not for the faint hearted though!
Just as an aside, there appears to be limited if any benefit of the larger panel over the standard panel. Although it appear to be counter intuitive, Jake, and others, find the smaller panel has the benefit of being lighter and less bulky, and not necessarily a degradation in range.
