I recently bought a nitro car off ebay, car is starting etc fine, problem is that i can only control the car when it is right next to me, once i drive the car a few metres away i loose all control and the car speeds off and hits walls and kerbs or whatever gets in its way, when i start the car without the controller it puts on a bit off throttle which suggests that the controller only has around a 2 metre range then i cannot control the car at all. Is this a problem with the controller or the receiver on the car?? The batteries in the car and in the controller are brand new so that is not the problem, any suggestions?? Thanks in advance
