Defective out of box

The lcd screen is not showing all the options as it should, you can scroll down and it highlights missing links and ypu will continue to scroll and the next option will pop in clearly. Extremely disappointed in Spektrum becuase my old spektrum dx3c is still working amazing after all these years, decided to upgrade and this new remote is trash right out the box. Returning and using the dx3c again

Pros
  • Would recommend.
Cons
  • Limited Quantity

Great radio for my opinion

I really like this radio, now I only need one radio for all of my models. Interface isn't the most intuitive but I'm learning.

Pros
  • Aggressive treaded steering wheel, innovative thumb-steering lever, built-in tool storage compartment, and dual lanyard mounts
Cons
  • High Price

Great Remote best in my review

This thing looks great and comfortable for all day use. The touch screen does take some time getting use to but I like it. Another downfall for it, is that the batteries die pretty damn quick on it. I have one remote now for all my rc cars. You can have up to 20 cars on it. 👍🏻👍🏻

Pros
  • Remote & App Controlled Vehicles & Parts
Cons
  • Heavy and bulky: The Spektrum DX5 Rugged DSMR 2.4GHz RC Radio Transmitter is heavier and bulkier than other models, making it less convenient to carry around

Touch screen and menu broken

Got this out of the box and turned it on to find it stuck on a blinking caution screen. After further reading it seems to be a calibration menu, but it’s stuck on a loop and since the touch screen is completely unresponsive there is no way to exit or do anything. Completely disappointed. I’ll be going to my local shop to make sure the next one I get works.

Pros
  • Precision control, convenience, and versatility - with unmatched innovation and durability that no off-roader, basher or boater will want to be without
Cons
  • The transmitter has so many functions and features that it may be complicated for beginners to use and navigate

The touch interface is as terrible as others say.

I though "How often will I use the touch interface once I have a model setup"?It didn't matter. I jumped up and down the menu trying to just select a new model for more than 2 minutes. It jumped down 3, up 1, up 2, down 2,. Seriously, this went on for several minutes. Will get the version without the touch.Felt light and is WAY oversozed than what is needed any longer. Not sure who finds these bulky things nice.

Pros
  • INCLUDES: DX5 Rugged Transmitter Only | REQUIRES: Compatible DSMR Receiver (SR515 5-Channel Receiver recommended) and 4 x AA Alkaline Batteries
Cons
  • Fragile Buttons

wonky touch controls - couldn't be bothered

Love Spektrum - didn't love this. It looks rugged but feels cheap. Rather than the intuitive wheel with click, there is a completely wonky thumb touch panel that annoyed the %^&* out of me. I returned and got the DX5C, which I love btw.

Pros
  • Large easy-to-read LCD screen, capacitive-touch control pane, and intuitive software make programming and navigation easy
Cons
  • Limited Compatibility
