Wow. Never heard a bad thing about them until now. If had had read all this I would have avoided them - next time I see a really bad review I'll take it with a grain of salt. I got about 5 of these GWS 6 channel receivers. Never had as much as a hiccup out of any of them. Says right in the instructions 1500 ft of range so I keep the model in close. And one of the models is an EF Yak. Pretty funny, but these receivers have outlasted 2 (TWO) CC speed controllers... <shrug>
