Well, I just bought this Nomadio React, and I have to say, I couldn't be happier. The most important thing is, this radio has eliminated ALL my glitching problems. Even when I plug the ignitor into the glow plug, no glitching at all. And also, I get awesome range. I was able to drive the car until I could barely see which way it was facing. Time to get that wireless camera for my speed tests. The computer interface is great. It's nice to have the ability to save and restore multiple backup settings to PC, not to mention of course the firmware updatability (welcome to 2007 by the way; I wonder why it has taken so long to get a radio with a USB interface). And telemetry rules. Great to see receiver pack voltage and received signal strength in real time. This is THE radio to get. It's like I'm driving a new car. Can't wait to play with the ABS functions. One nice thing that I learned from the receiver voltage telemetry reading. I get a huge voltage drop from my alkaline AA pack whenever I move the servos and draw current. This prompted me to research the discharge rating on these alkalines. Sure enough, a standard AA is only good for a few hundred milliamps. My digital servos are prolly drawing a couple amps in total, when they're running. In fact I could see both receiver voltage and received signal strength drop significantly in real time whenever I moved the servos. Crappy AAs. Time for that 10C lipo receiver pack.
