now that theres power in this thing, it still is much quiter than the other models, and no messing around the propo steering is better than ever. 7/7 everyway this car is smooth. and the best se i have ever had! i was nervous to try the next test but oh well, i tried to put the 06a04 car on my 05a04 charger, and the amber light didntr appear after 10sec went to red still went green after 45 secs but no amber, back on the 06 charger went amber as usual, RANGE = okay quickly in my hose i just tets it and seems to be cutting in and out around 25-30 ft, but the steering is so much better
