Well guys this is all good news since some of the threads I have been reading here were compalining about radios, some of the very latest high tech FM, loosing control beyond a couple hundred feet. I was geting pretty paranoid. I just purchased a Thunder Cat RTR with an AM radio and was already feeling the need to pitch it for something more reliable range wise. So like I said this is all good news. I may upgrade radios later once the motor is broken in and when I get to know what features I wish to add if any.
