Check your ariel lead. I had a bad roll and it snapped the arial off. I had range of about the same (30 metres or so). If not check your batterys and the ariel in your transmitter as a last resort. If not then it could be something to do with your RX or TX.
Hope you can fix it.

Rx = receiver (radio in truck)
Tx = transmitter (radio in you hand)

Most radios systems that come with a RTR are not very good! Buy a Spektrum and you will never look back!
