do i really need a 2.4ghz for the mmm combo

the tq is ok if your dying to give the thing a run and dont want to drive any comps or long range bash areas. mine was bad when it was a nitro even, couldnt get maybe 60ft, thing would start darting about. last straw was when was bashing near a power substation(noisy air), maybe 200 feet from the substation. channel 3 decided to gradually jump into reverse with none of my input. may have been many things that casued it but the radio wouldnt have helped at all, causing me to destroy the output gears in my tranny.

dx3s here i come.
