The 27mhz cars have always been notorious for bad range. Some are good, but most are poop. The best solution I've found is to go pick up a clone 27mhz car and use those controllers, because it's not the car, it's the controller. I use "cyclona" controllers. They are about $10.00 over here.
I know the LXX controllers aren't a good solution because one of the controls are reversed. I don't know wich one is reversed, but if it's just the steering then you can just flip the magnet in the steering compartment of the car.
There are other clone cars that have good controllers, but I don't remember wich are good and wich are bad. Also, they may say 27mhz, but still not be compatable.
Generally speeking I haven't found optional controllers for the booster/2 speed cars or the super bits, only the regular bitchargers.
I would easily recomend the "cyclona" clone for the controller. The cars aren't so great themselves, but you can use them for spare parts. The "cyclona" controllers I have give me about 40 ft. range and they're completely compatable with the original bitcharge cars.
