Heartily recommended. I had a little trouble setting it up at first as it has a light that flashes a certain number of times when you are setting something up, and you have to use a light touch on the controls otherwise it just flashes lots. The instructions were written by someone who speaks English as a 1st language (Frank), understands tanks (Frank again) and I found it easier to understand than the manual for the Futuba 6-channel I use for the other tank.
As Pete says, range depends on the controller. I'm using a MadCatz wireless controller, which gives the tank a range of about 50 feet- quite enough as usually you are no more than 10 feet from it as you are trying to line it up to shoot. I chose MadCatz cos it was specifically recommended in the C6C instructions, & didn't have any features like "rumbling" which I'm not going to use. Only possible snag with it is that it's very small- OK for my hands but anyone with big hands will struggle. Compared to the PS2 controller the Futuba seems large and fragile. The PS2 controller is designed to be chewed by toddlers, you can drop it in your pocket, and the batteries (2 x AAA) never seem to run out- the Futuba needs a battery change in the course of an afternoon. If you want to execute a sweeping flank movement in an armoured car, say, or need very fine control, I'd say go for a radio with a longer range- otherwise C6C every time. Phil PS Bribe? What bribe??
