I have since purchased a Futaba 4LPS Telemetry radio, and the receiver it came with is in my SCX10. I'll buy another receiver and swap that in with the original ESC and see how that goes, I planned on gradually switching all my cars over to the Futaba radio anyway as I could justify buying Futaba receivers. This wouldn't surprise me one bit, as the first Associated transmitter I had also had a garbage range. I really wish more manufactures would start selling "RX Ready" cars. I like RTR pricing over kits, but the only radios I have ever gotten from an RTR that are reliable are the Traxxas ones.
