I love my React....Its so light and very fast, I had to tone it down big time because it was to fast reacting to my inputs lol.
Coming from my M8, it feels about the same, just lighter and much faster.
I like how I can update it via my computer and store all my settings on the puter too.
It does have the vibrate feature for warning you about things like battery voltage, temp, lap times, pit times, and so on.
It also has built in voltage meters for the rx and tx right on the display
Im going to be selling my M8 with spektrum system real soon
so many features/parameters are never touched on these radios, they are sweet, dont get me wrong, I am starting with a spektrum 2.o, then I may move to a JR Z1 if I can find a good used one, Im a JR fan, I have a xr3 fm that works great, the only thing I seem to use is dual rate, but some other functions I'm sure are helpful when racing........I dunno, its a toss up for high end radios, I will use spektrum dx2.0 until I feel there is a actual need to upgrade
worse thing about the dx2/3's is the old box of a radio case. They are so uncomfortable. It really makes it hard to drive well when the radio isn't ergonomic.
I need a new radio myself. That's on the back burner though.
yeah, its about the same as my JRxr3, so its all good for now, what radio are you using Tex? I know where there is a spektrum equipped m8 for $180, is that a good deal? Its an m8 with blue wheel,spektrum module installed utilizing factory antenna hole for spektrum antenna, and a spektrum reciever, I may go for it, I dunno, I need an engine, Im just piecing my rig together basically before spring, so I need all kinds of shit, lol
heavy radios never bothered me, im used to holding onto impact guns all day and i read about the react and saw a picture (holy space gun!!!) yeah i had no idea it already has dsm in it and ready to go, thats why i wanted a 3pk or m11 so i could add spektrum and say screw channels, who sells reacts locally cause i wanna check one out now and feel one up
pwnzor, i would be leary of the spek antenna mounted like that, alot of guys had glitching issues when they routed it like that

oh rlly? thx for the heads up man....Im sure the spektrum dx2.0 will be fine for a while
the dx2 2.0 with the XS3 case is very ergo and comfy. The old boxy one is the one I can't stand to hold.
I have a digital futaba magnum radio right now, it's like 4 years old and not very comfortable to hold. Works good and has the functions I need so....
yeah man I hear ya' dude, a lot of the "bells and whistles" on upper end radios are never utilized, I like simple/effective
u know i said the exact same thing, and yet i have actually used most of the functions on my M11
I did the spektrum antenna mod on my M8 the second week I got it, and never had any glitching issues the whole 1 1/2 years I used it that way
I know some others who never had problems with it that way either.
Maybe those few people who had problems didnt do a very good job doing the mod???
To anyone....
I'll sell my M8 with spektrum and one rx for $175......Ive been meaning to start a FS thread and put it up on ebay with a "buy it now" two weeks ago, but I never seem to get around to doing it. lol
Its in great shape, I always kept it clean and stored in a radio bag, I have the original boxes w/manuals and I'll include the Duracell 2300mah rechargeable batteries
The spektrum systems alone cost that much
i didnt have any problems till i went outside and went to a race with more than 40 guys at it. Almost all the guys that tiried that got glitching at big races when there were a good amount of guys on the stand and when there was hardly anyone out there.

I had a problem with the mod or maybe the transmitter I dont know...I sent it to horizion, they sent me a new one, it works well so now I dont want to touch it...But I hate the way the antenna hangs off the back
yeah so i read the review on the react.........its cool but........i was at leisure hours today and was looking at the m11 and 3pk and i realized i cant even hold onto the 3pk in a way i could ever drive and see the screen and the react wouldnt work either, i hold the radios in a funny horizontal way by my gut with the wheel almost pointing up, i can see the screen on a m8/11 fine so i'm gonna get an m11
thanks for all the help guys i really appreciate it, thanks for all the help at the track before too tex i'll catch up with you guys in an A-main someday!
Damn you Charlie!! Just gotta do everything better than me!!! I see how it is. LMAO, I still like my XS3 better, still gotta deal with freq clips but I like the symplicity of it.
