The React really is a nice radio if you can use all of its features. I know because it's my radio of choice
. Here are a few of them, that I think are most beneficial:
-computer connectivity, to update firmware and adjust things and save settings
-totally adjustable/programmable channel settings (3rd and 4th channels can do whatever you want them to do)
-BUILT-IN telemetry
-alarms/alerts based on data from the telemetry or information from the TX (for example, if the Lipo in your truck is about dead, an audible alarm and vibration can let you know about it)
-lightweight
-I'm running a 2s 2100mah Lipo and a 5v switching regulator in mine, so I have even less weight and longer runtime
-Spektrum RX compatibility (worked great for me, until my truck with a Spektrum RX was stolen)
-tank mode/mixing capabilities (haven't tested it yet, but a future project of mine will make use of this feature)
Downsides:
-cheap looking
-standard Nomadio receivers are large (but of course, Spektrum RXs will work just fine)
