Ok on that one u left me a little lost.............i dont get it??? when u switch models bein way off??????

on my 3PK when u change the model on the screen ,you scroll around find the model ud like to swtich to select it.........BUT i wont just switch your model u have to wait 2 seconds then turn off the radio and turn it back on or it wont switch over.........is something like that what you are talking about????

also ur right the react has 40 model memory BUT in reality you have more like unlimited model memory since you can save your model profiles on your computer save them there and delete them from your radio till ur ready to use them again.........(thats pretty cool i agree) but on the radio itself it can only hold 40 models.........but the 3PK can hold 20 on internal memory and you can buy expenstion packs and each one will hold 10 more models so basically u can have as much momery as you have expenstion pack's.........plus if you can take the expention cards with you where ever you go since they are very small..................unlike the REACT you have to leave the extra model momeorys in your home computer (unless you have a laptop with you and can interchange them with you at the track!!!)

explain to me that thing ur talknig about tho i kinda confused........

I know my communication skills are not real good but lets try this. On the react if you have the radio set on model 3 and you turn on the model 3 RX as well as model 1 and 2 only model 3 will respond with the TX.

I know on my Spektrum if you where to do the same thing all 3 models at once will respond to the input from the TX. With my Spektrum before I have forgot to change the model number when changing vehicles and being the trim setting are different take of and the car veer to one side before I realize I do not have the correct model set on my TX this you cannot do with the React.

All so on the React if you have the wrong model on the TX and turn on the RX it will show no commutation between the two on the screen. Now if you what to have more then one model number for the same vehicle like different settings for different tracks you can clone that model.

I do not know about the 3PK but no both the M8 and M11 do not have this feature like the React.

Have I explained it where you understand?

MiamizFinest let me ask you a question if you turn on your TX and have it on model 3 and you turn on all your receivers in all your vehicles that have the Spectrum receiver and turn steering wheel on the TX to the right will all the vehicles wheels turn?

With a React only the vehicle that is assigned to model 3 would work even if you have 39 other models with Nomadio receivers that are turned on set up in the same React TX. Each Nomadio receiver has their own indemnification number and when you set up model numbers will only work with the assigned receiver! Is it just I or does any one understands what I am saying?

I see what your saying . But within a few seconds you will realize the tx is on the wrong model . Not exactly something that takes a lot of time out of the day to do . As soon as I turn on a car I know instantly if I need to switch model memories or not .

There fail safe only works against signal lose and not when the receiver batteries are low. This can cause a run away so make sure you receiver batteries are all ways charged. .

Yes the Futaba has a failsafe. I just ordered the Futaba 3PM fasst for only $168 on B main hobbies. The futaba has all the features I will need for now. I haven't read one bad thing about it. It even has somewhat of a backlight on it. There is a little LED next the the screen that gives off enough light to make the screen visible in the dark. Plus, when I get all digital servos on the Futaba, I can use the HRS mode and have super response time. The Nomadio still has more features, but for now, all I need is the 3PM.
