Anyone been following the progress of these new radios and receivers that are being released. $500 bucks seems a little steep but considering this technology would revolutionize the hobby I'm considering it. It will be interesting to see what there like once released.

I wouldn't say I have been following it, but I am for sure interested. $500 is a lot, but if someone turns on their radio and causes your $2000 truck to crash into something very hard, it quickly becomes a bargain. I won't be the first one to have it, but I will be in line at some point.

i've been thinking about it...due in a couple of days. Take years to program that complex piece of tech

Yup this one has been considered and I will be getting one for my Brushless Juggernaut.

I been asking about it since last year and it seems promising. I am waiting for the receiver that has more than 3 channels tho.

I'll be getting one sooner or later, probably later though since I just bought an Airtronics MX-3S and a second receiver for it. I do however agree with them about the add-ons for other radios to make them 2.4gig radios being not much more than a band-aide on something that was never designed for or intended to be use at that frequency.

Picture yourself at the track. You have a truck that you're spent $1,500 on modifying and customizing and countless hours tweaking this and that to get it just right. Got it tuned so perfect there is nothing that could make it better. Your doing some laps and it's running great. Someone at the track turns their radio on to check their truck and starts pulling the throttle and turning the steering. Doesn't realize he's transmitting the same frequency your using and overpowering your radio. Next thing you know your truck takes off full throttle seemingly out of control and runs right into a fence post and the front of it disintigrates into a broken mess that'll cost close to $1000 to fix and hours of tuning to get it right again.

Something like that may never have happened to you but it is entirely possible with the current 27 and 75 MHZ radios. With the nomadios encoding the reciever only accepts signals from your transmitter and rejects anything not having the right code thus eliminating that possibility.

So I would say it is worth the money even though I don't have the money for one right now.

Add-ons like that are usually buggy junk and only out until the maker comoes out with their own version. Remeber the Sega 32x and Sega cd? They were nothing more than gap fillers like this spektrum appears to be.
