VEX Radio Range & Loss of Radio Fail Safe?

Does anyone know the answer or approx answer to the following:

1. What is the range of a VEX TX and RX?

2. If a robot goes out of radio range, what will the controller do? Will it automatically set the PWM values to 127 or will it remember the last PWM values and lock them in the controller and cause a "run away" condition?

3. Are there any software checks that can be written like so?

IF radioTX is good
then update PWMs
ELSE
PWMs = 127
