Have a brand new rc3s and I can go about 50' before it looses signal. Works great at anything less then 25 and between 25 and 50 it glitches.

I have tried two different receivers (1 is a versions 1.1) both non-gyro. Just running AA batteries at 6.0 volts in the transmitter and then off of the BEC in an electric buggy.

Anybody have any suggestions? Was going to borrow a friends nitro car and try it in that as my ESC is brand new and wanted to take the bec out of the equation. Planong on trying this next and anything else someone might suggest before shipping this back to china!

Sorry for the late reply but this radio is known to have range issues with aa batts. Up the voltage with a 2s or 3s lipo and your range issues should be resolved.

I ended up getting a replacement from where I bought it (bang good). While waiting I got the turnigy branded version from hobby king . No issues with either of these running AA batteries.

Thanks for the input. Next time I do a hk order I will probably do a small two or three cell and give it one more try. I took it apart and found no issues. One good thing to note is my turnigy model syncs wih non-gyro receivers just fine!
