Just had the truck outside for the first time. 15 minutes, ranges out to 75' from me, all 3 gears, no problems. i'm surprised that the truck goes up hill in 2nd or 3rd gear better than in 1st.
Except the one of the stock shocks unscrewed its cap fom the shock body. Just got done replacing one lost shock spring and putting loctite on the threads for all 4 shock caps.

How old is the battery and what is the actual voltage of the battery (read it with a voltmeter) an hour or so after you charge the battery? A fresh charged battery does not mean a good battery.
As for the range you are stuck with the preset range in the surface radio which is about 75ft.
As for being more powerful in 2nd and 3rd, the MFU has three different power levels for full throttle depending on the gear you're in and 3rd has the highest level. You can get around this like 90% of MFU owners do and cut off the coupler switch and solder the two wires together that went to the switch. You will lose the coupler sound when hooking up to a trailer but you will get full power to the motor regardless of gear selection or having or not having a trailer attached.
