Moving from crystals to new 2.4ghz. Is range significantly better or hype?

[pete2222]

Starting RC again after a 10 year break and I'm still with my old RTR level crystal transmitters and receivers.

Can I ask anyone familiar with both the old crystals and the 2.4ghz stuff. Is it really noticeably much better in terms of range? Also the glitching I sometimes get.

I'm still a bit of a novice driving my buggy in the street, park etc, though I do now plan to join a club next year.

Just want a few opinions before buying some new kit, and potentially being disappointed. Thanks
