Nomadio? Lol. I'm just playing, and I agree that he should've included that in the options. Both the React and Sensor are top notch radios and I would've loved to purchase one if I didn't stumble upon my $150 deal from my friend for a 3PK.

Status: offline 		The React just has so many more features particularly when racing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Spektrum DX3.0 has the least and should have included the Spektrum DX3R but sill the React had more features then any radio on the market right now.

Status: offline 		futaba fasst... react is great but just a tad expensive, with the futaba you get the same performance, maybe less features " not much though" and its like 100 or more less.

How much is the Futaba? I picked my React up for $229 shipped with a free temperature sensor and it has a WHOLE lot more features.

Status: offline 		I say get the Futaba 3PKs with Futaba 2.4GHz FASST module. There are a ton of racing features included and once you feel that cool looking radio in your hands, you will not be disappointed.

The Nomandio Sensor is also a good choice, I personally would take Sensor over React. Nothing wrong with the React, it
