Now this is pretty cool. Keep track of battery, motor and esc temps without all the pesky stopping and bending over. And since I can't bend over.....

Yeah, cool idea but did you read the discussion and reveiws? Sounds like it needs some tweaking, better customer back up, and a battery

I'm sick of all the whining. People can't even figure out that a 9v battery will work fine... 2s lipo is 8.4, so 9v is OK.

Right? if they can't figure that out I don't think they should be in r/c

I was thinking the same thing. If they can't figure out something that simple, maybe this is the wrong hobby for them. Either go nitro, or something simpler, like needlework.

You guys are kind of harsh. Nice find Harold, and the price is pretty good as well. Looks like something to add to the Xmas list this year. Hey river so your still using your Nomadio sensor? I still have one in the case, never used. How do you like it?

Yeah, they were whining but the gist I got was the instructions implied the battery was included. That was my point. I guess I made an ass of myself by assuming he read the instructions right

I am pretty sure I can use 3 temp probes there are 3 telemetry ports, I just have to configure it in the radio to accept temp inputs.

that's cool, I assumed it was like the spektrum wth dedicated ports. I'm learning a lot from you lately

I actually have the react and so far its awesome. I dont even have to run an antenna sticking up on the rx it coiled up in the rx box and the range is out of this world. Too bad nomadio reduced support on their rc division to put more emphasis toward the goverment contracts. I personally think its one of the best radios on the market when you can get them. As far as I know the sensors have been discontinued for a couple years now and you still have anew in the box one?

Yes I sure do. I bought it two years ago before they stopped service on the Sensor. I have all the telemitry stuff with it as well in their aluminum case. Just never got around to getting it setup. Now I have Spektrum equipment setup in two of my trucks with the DX3R. I am sure that I will put the Sensor to good use one of these days. I also have the aluminum mod done for the steering shaft, which was made in a production run by one of the customers on the Nomadio forum. Hey Harold who asked ya?
