React - The fastest R/C Radio

Nomadio introduces the next generation of R/C controller – The React.

One hundred percent digital two-way communication utilizing frequency hopping digital spread spectrum (FHDSS) technology
The fastest reacting R/C radio there is, Period.

For the first time, R/C enthusiasts will be able to choose a high end radio with unmatched pure digital speed at a fraction of the cost of other brands’ mid-priced radios. React transmits at 100Hz which make it the fastest reacting R/C radio made. Furthermore, Nomadio standard 100mW RF output in FHDSS conforms to worldwide ISM radio regulations.
Like the Sensor by Nomadio, the React can transmit telemetry back from the car as it is driven. The React system supports “feelers” that give the driver real time feedback of the car’s speed, battery voltage and engine temperature. Unique to the RC market, the React radio system is software based; its capabilities may be altered / upgraded when it is connected to a personal computer and the Internet via the built in USB port.

Most R/C radios operate on 30 channels in the 75 MHz band. Other 2.4GHz radios are limited to fewer than 40 channels. The React system combines error-resistant spread spectrum and frequency hopping technologies, providing each radio with a unique, secure virtual channel allowing hundreds of simultaneous users.

Nomadio CEO Alex Gizis says, “The React targets both the top end race and the back yard basher. React touts glitch-less performance of the 2. GHz band, unmatched speed and program flexibility not offered in other radios. The React is a top end full featured R/C controller with a mid line radio price.

NEW! Spektrum DX3R DSM2 3-Channel Racing System

DX3R

For years now, racers at the highest levels of competition have been using Spektrum’s patented DSM technology with their existing radio systems to win. Drawing from the extensive track experience of these racers, Spektrum engineers have created the DX3R (SPM3100)—Spektrum’s first pro-class racing system with next-generation DSM2 technology built in.

While DX3R’s intelligently designed ergonomics are the first thing that catches the eye, it is the superior responsiveness of its advanced 2.4GHz DSM2 technology that will get people talking. In addition to unparalleled freedom and interference protection, DSM2 has a faster response time than any other spread spectrum or PPM system. With it, your customers will be able to hold the “line” around a track with a level of precision and control unlike anything you have experienced before. And because DSM2 uses direct sequence spread spectrum technology, you’ll maintain this superior response rate no matter how “noisy” the 2.4GHz environment gets.
