Hard to say, it depends on the brand and model of the radio. You will find the higher end radios will reach a lot farther than the cheaper. You also have to take into consideration outside interferance and the lay of the land. More trees, buildings and powerlines=less distance. My Futaba 3PKS will reach farther than either my stock Traxxas or HPI 2.4 radios.

Most will go farther than you would be comfortable driving at.
Here's a test:

With your truck close to you, ENGINE OFF, at full throttle with wheels turned, shut off the radio. If the throttle and steering servos go to neutral then it has a built in failsafe.

ok i just did that and i had my thorttle held wide open and its just turned completely back so does that mean i ahve a fail safe

It turned back when you turned the transmitter off?

If so then it either has a failsafe or a spring on the throttle servo, or both.
