Default HELP : RF Distance Limited to 2ft???

Ok, sorry but, I have to ask some radio experts. My sons 4x4 remote truck
is NOT working properly. Seems the RF distance from the remote to the truck
is only 2ft now, but was 10 blocks before. Yes, I installed NEW batteries
in the remote unit (9v) and truck batt 100% charged. I took the truck apart
and did a check on the wire antenna also. Continuity check was 100% no
breaks in the wire. I also scrubbed and cleaned all contacts on both units
too. Did a super cleaning with a blast of air. Still 2ft range to drive this
Hummer. Arrrghhhhhh. What am I missing? It's on 49mhz as a freq. It's a
shame that it only lasted less than 1 yr. Any other tips wud be
appreciated. thanks
