BTW, I now going to give in and get the DX 2 Spektrum Radio. I don't really like running out of room after one small town block. How are they for range?

I've had good luck with my DX3 system. The range is about as far as I can effectively control it; ~100 yards at a guess give or take. Although, I always try to make sure the receiver is as far away as possible from the noisy motor wires to avoid potential interference problems.
