Product Evolution (Pocket RailBoss demise)

3/20/2014

These days it seems like there is something new under the sun on a daily basis, especially with anything involving technology.

Some of you may wonder what happened to the Pocket RailBoss. Development on the RailBoss 4 (actually called RailBoss 3 at the time) had stalled out, and would seemingly never make it to market. When we discovered a source for the 2.4GHZ keyfob transmitter and receivers, it was fairly easy to adapt them to the existing RailBoss Plus boards. This satisfied our desire to supply a small hand-held transmitter to replace the large bulky hobby stick radios.

And then, Murphy's Law prevailed, and we found a solution to our RailBoss 3 problems. The RailBoss 4 was born. Its advantages are a nicer size hand held transmitter (designed by us) with easier to use buttons, longer range than the Pocket RailBoss, the radio is integrated into the control board eliminating customer wiring, no more proportional controls requiring calibration by the customer, no undocumented third party radios from China, .... the list goes on.

RailBoss 4 is easily the best radio control product we have ever designed (yes, we, in the USA, not some third party). Changes will still come, no doubt. But RailBoss 4 continues to offer features found in no other battery power radio control system on the market, so it should be around for a long time. Response by you, our customers, has been very good. Thank you!
