Hey I had said it on other forums when the Sensor first came out it looked like Stevie Wonder made the case. But that changed quickly and our support of the sport and our clients has proven we take this very seriously. We support RC PRO we sponsor a large racing team NO OTHER R/C company in the 2.4GHz market has won more national championships then Nomadio period.

So you judge strength by looking at pictures on the internet? Where did you read that it wasn't strong?

Well get your hands on one and see for yourself. GET the radio that fits your hand, your driving style, your budget, and has the features to do what you want it to do.

Karlton,

Again, very impressive technology, I buy into it 100%. But the sturdiness and bling factor have to be bumped up a notch. Folks are paying $500 for a carpet car chassis (no wheels, no body, no anything; but nicely machined aluminum, carbon fiber, class act...).

As many have done, I have tossed around the debate between the React, the 3PKS and the M11. I love Nomadios tech, don't like the FASST and will probably go with the M11 some day when they come out with the 100mhz FHSS... But still that will probably be analog to digital.

So, the cheapest way out with the best FHSS tech is, in my opinion, the MX-3FHSS. After discounts of $45, I paid about $120 for TX/RX. Now the big question, when will they actually be released. So, for the money, I have the benefits I was looking for (maybe not all the bells and whistles) but I can sit back and wait why the radio tech war plays out.

Regards,
Gary

I really think people are "parroting" what was first said about the Nomadio Sensor when it first came out. The React "case" has been on the market for SEVEN years with great sales in Europe but not marketed in the USA. The fact of the matter is the "case" the React comes in has less then a 1% parts failure in that time so they can't be talking about the React.

How do I know? Well I was on the design team for Multiplex and I was the Multiplex importer before Hitec bought Multiplex. We never really marketed the Profi (same cases as the react) in the USA because of the really bad colors Multiplex chose to make the radio out of. When Nomadio bought the cases from Multiplex the only change in the case that was made was the color. Log on to Hobby Horse they sell the Multiplex Profi Car 75MHz radios or look on the Hitec forum and see if they have parts failure on the Profi car case, they do not.

Multiplex still sells the Profi Car radios in Europe. If there was a problem the case would not still be on the market period.

What is really funny the other brand of 2.4GHz radio gets a total pass on selling an old ANALOG radio in a discontinued case with a 2.4GHz RF section grafted in. When the React is ALL digital, all new electronics inside and is in a proven case that is ON the market with strong world wide sales.

I'll chime in, so as it doesn't look like Karlton's tooting his own horn for the sake of hearing it go "beep".

I've owned my React for a month or two now, and it's a very solid feeling radio. There are currently.... 6 radios out in my garage right now, and the React seems to be built better than any other wheel radio I have. Granted, there all basic AM rigs, 3 Traxxas TQ's, a Futaba, Airtronics and the POS that came with my Bonzer. I haven't dropped it or thrown it off a driver's stand yet, so who knows. It certainly doesn't feel any worse than the name brand TX's.
The *only* issue I see with it is that the battery pack is free to flop around in the bottom. A simple fix for that is some strategically placed foam so that it doesn't go "clunk" every time you move the radio. Other than that, I like it, lots.

its not about feel, its about performance when comes to racing. You can get used to almost anything.

I disagree. If a radio is not comfortable in your hand, the feeling will only get worse the longer the main. Feel is the main property for a racer to look at when buying a top end radio. Personally I think all the top end radios are close enough in performance to remove that variable out of the equation.

I agree with you there RCtruckRacer having a radio that fits to your hand and the controls where YOU want them are key! One thing that gets me with computer radios is on most of them your stuck with trims / control and command functions are set at the factory.

On Nomadio for example you can assign "soft keys" that is every trim button, the handle wheel or rocker switch to any program command function example for the Reat...
Options you can set in under 2 seconds....
