Brians Hobby Land is hooking me up with a sr300. Looks like I'm keeping my React.

I just always plug/unplug the lipo from the regulator and leave the regulator plugged into the react.

I'm thinking about wiring a secondary switch between the battery and regulator...or maybe hacking the switch thats there and put the regulator in after it.

What's the damage??

Man this thread took off! I would love to get rid of that DSSS beta screen also.

SR300 3-Channel DSM Sport Surface Receiver I am ordering some in the morning so if you are interested, send me a pm so I can give you the hook up.

So now the new burning question is:

Can I run one rig with the Nomadio transciever and one with the Spektrum? I know they require different modes, but is that switched via linked to a computer or can you do it on the fly?

Szczerba · 04-08-2010, 09:08 PM

probably just have to rebind it each time? or would the model memory remember to remember?

I think you would just have to change from "transciever" to "DSS Beta"....that is done on the Tx, IIRC....

I set up a second profile and set that rx to dsss...so I guess it'll remember?

edit: it apparently will do the swap on the fly. As soon as I selected the second profile I got the beta screen.

Duuuuuuuude · 04-08-2010, 09:24 PM

Oh yeah, heres a nice little mod I did...you know the mini usb cable that is coiled up in the battery compartment? Its long enough to run up to the back of the radio where the little rectangular hole is. Its also small enough to fit in that hole. Some ca glue and a bit of epoxy will keep it in place.

Why? Because its a PITA dealing with the radio, the cable, and the battery pack all at once. Now all you have to do is plug it in and not have to worry about your battery flopping around when you pick it up.

Duuuuuuuude · 04-08-2010, 10:03 PM

I just read that the Nomadio radio will work with Airtronics fhss recievers!

Nomadio : 100mw fhss
Airtronics: 100mw fhss
Spektrum : 50mw dsss (less power and slower resolution, hence "da slow mode")

4xFord · 04-08-2010, 10:21 PM

thats good info dude. And ya my super is on the nomadio receiver and the 2.2. is on the speky reciever, all I do is switch models like any other 2.4 system.

JeremyH · 04-09-2010, 07:05 AM

That's good to hear Duuude. BTW, thanks for the tip on the USB cable.

Do you know what models? I think some of those Airtronics don't have a BEC and wont handle more than 6 volts? Just sayin' cause i run 7v to my nomadio transceiver.

BTW. Nomadio Transceivers will take up to 18 volts, I believe. I was doing the research before they shut the Nomadio forums down.

Not sure of the model #'s. I was digging around and found a post by one of the Nomadio guys saying that their stuff will talk to both Spektrum and Airtronics as long as they were either dss or fhss.

Looking around, the compatible Airtronics stuff is kinda pricey...but they all seemed to be 4 or more channels too, which most likey means they are for aircraft, which would also mean, as you mentioned, that they may not have a bec.

I really don't see the need to spend the extra $ on a fhss rx for crawling though...sure you lose resolution by dropping down to the dsss, but I don't think you'd notice.

I know for a fact that the Nomadio transcievers will handle at least 9v...by bec took a hit and went wide open...so EVERYTHING was running @ 9v...including my steering and dig servo's.

WHAT? I thought BECs were developed for air servos?

esc's have bec's, not rx's. Damn you Shane...you done got my head all messed up.

huh? Maybe I am jagged up. ... from the description

"The receiver is not equipped with BEC circuitry. Do not use more than 6.0 volts to power the receiver. Anything higher than 6.0 volts may damage or destroy the receiver. Only use a 4.8-6.0 volt battery pack or ESC that is designed to lower the voltage to this range. "

you'll need to switch models and the one with the spektrum you will have to change the reciever type and agree to use the beta programimg. If you don't change models it will stay on the reciever type but you'll still need to agree with the beta. If you go from the spektrum to nomadio and back to spektrum you will need to change the reciever type again. this is all done on the radio.

anyone have a good use for the secret box on the reacts?
