I am aware that Nomadio ceased operation in the R/C market - but I always wanted to get my hands on a react and now I managed.

My questions are about battery possibility to upgrade to LiPo of LiFe model, about the compatability with other receivers what I am understanding is that it works with spektrum? do fail safe and other functions work?

Also I wish to aquire a skin for nomadio react any help maybe someone made his own.

For skins for the Nomadio, you may find that Amainhobbies or other places might have some old stock.

As for compatibility, you can use spektrum receivers like the SR3500 and Sr300 style ones. They radio just needs to be set in a special mode to use them, and you get a message about wanting to use the beta software or whatever it is when you are on that channel each time you start the radio up, no big deal.

As for battery, not sure. I remember that there was a battery with regulator being sold at one time for the nomadio that was a lipo. Maybe you can make the same thing with a lipo or life?

Cain thanks any other feedback would be great any experiences mishaps

there is still a thread on here I think for nomadio stuff, you may want to give it a look see and see if anything you are looking for info wise is there.

The other main thing I can tell you is that the USB port for the radio can have its wires pull out from the "port" board. make sure when you go to plug it in or pull it out, keep the wires as part of your "pull" so they do not pull out from the board, if you don't, you'll have a "fun" time soldering them back in.

I still use my React and will until the wheels fall off of it. Great radio, sad it is no longer being produced. For the life of me I never understood why people where obsessed with putting LiPo's in this radio when a good 1100mah NiMi will run the thing all weekend. Thats what I use with no problems.

I would have kept it too but I wanted something that I coudl at least still get serviced. If Nomadio would have just kept that part open, I would have it today.

For battery, I just had cheapbatterypacks build me one with I believe 2200mah or whatever it was cells, ran for like ever. definitely a radio that was a cut above.

I've replaced the battery pack for my react 3 times now, it eats through batteries faster than I can recharge them. it sucks that they pulled there support, and turned off the forum boards on how to modify the radio to fix certain problems.
I hope they get back into RC later in Life, there products were great.

One of the most unfortunate things about the React is it was smarter than alot of the people who bought them.

I wonder if Nomadio would allow someone else to host the info from the boards in an archive somewhere? Having that old info could be quite useful.

I just got the react its so great - I wonder if someone stocks the sensors still for nomadio mostly tempreture and battery also if you know a place for receivers it would be great

Please if you know of some old stock let me know i found how to build them but i am not that sure lol

brand new tranceivers here:

any idea about what the sensors consist of can you build them? probably yes!! but cant find many leads about them

Bernard

I agree..I use the 2700 Mah from Ballistic and I can run that thing all weekend and then some.

Great radio...I will use it untill it blows up

I agree it definelty needs better batteries what i ask is there is a method to aquire sensor leads
