Wow - I was surprisedto only see one person wit a Nomadio reply here.

I started off using AM and FM radios/receivers for a while. I live close to the city and where I run is near a lot of nautical equipment and bot marinas and I had absolutely terrible performance with AM - it would glitch 25 feet out.

I used still use the DX3 that came with my LST2 from time to time, but still lots of interference and glitching where I am.

It took me about 1 - 2 years to break down and finally try out a DSM radio. I got a Nomadio React on ebay with two receivers on ebay for about $250. Definitely the best radio I haveever used.

Aside from features already mentioned, I love the telemetry - I can monitor speed, temps and battery voltage right from the controller. I can also setup alerts to vibrate or beep me if a threshold has been crossed on one of the telemtry sensors. It's been great for monitoring esc/motor temps and buggy speed. Never had a problem with range or glitching at all, range is easily over 1/4 mile+.

The PC software for setting up the React is awesome and you can control every component of the setup (it even has ABS braking configuration, servo speed settings, and you can setup channel mixing - all on the pc). Also, the remote is software controlled via flash memory - so update to the functionality of the controller can be produced via updates from Nomadio.

This is a top notch controller (although it may not look super pretty) made by a company that specializes in telemetry based projects for DOD contracts.

Highly recommended.
