I've seen some reviews that indicate issues with the range on this receiver. It might just be that I got a good one or it could be the transmitter, but I'm able to control my Christmas train from 20' away as long as I have line of sight to it. It is infrared like a lot of TV remotes so if you have a wall or a kid between the transmitter and the receiver you will have problems. Mine did have a very strong chemical smell when I first opened it but that has dissipated after a few days.

For legomaniacs like myself, I prefer to build and then play with my machines from the comfort of my chair, until my kids go beserk and grab the controllers out of my hands. But regardless, you need an IR receiver to make your machines perform the way you want. In fact, like me, you may need several. The Lego IT Receiver (8884) works quite well. Hopefully, Lego will design longer range ones or revert back to using RF to support longer distances.
The LEGO Power Functions IR Receiver allowed me to make my LEGO technic 4wd truck fully remote control. Paired with a Power Functions remote control, the IR receiver can output to two channels. One for steering, and one for the motor. I highly recommend this product if you want to make a RC LEGO car!
It's very useful...Thanks a lot!
