That is odd.. where does it ship from?
Well, if I were interested I'd have to go with amazon for the price.. from the "Spektrum store".
It would not surprise me to find out FlySky makes Spektrum's surface transmitters. After calling tech support asking about a couple of their servos, only to find out I know more than they do about their own servos, I am pretty confident they outsource the design and manufacture of their servos as well. I called twice and emailed, and nobody could give me the specs I was asking about. And if I remember correctly, I was simply asking about the servo dimensions.
I totally agree. I have heard people say they like the DX6C, but for a lot less money, I would just grab the FlySky GT5.
This!
You'll like it. I love mine. If not for the GT3B, I'd use the GT5 in everything. But with the GT5 having more channels/features, I typically will only use it in our crawler type stuff.
Thanks man. I will be needing a new receiver soon. And radio. All my other stuff would bind to the DX6C, & have one controller for everything. Just was a odd observation of that it might or could ship from FlySky.
There is also the Radiomaster MT12. It is a pretty badass radio for the price. There may be a bit of a learning curve, but there are a ton of videos on it. It also binds with Spektrum and FlySky receivers. So you could use it for your current Spektrum stuff, and buy the much cheaper FlySky receivers for future needs.
I'm sure the DX6C works fine if you really want to go that route, it's just that there are better options out there for the money, unless you're already invested in and want to stay with spektrum RXs.
I'm guessing it's a good radio, maybe great, IDK. I do wonder why they're pairing a 6 channel radio with a 3 channel receiver though?
That's a good idea, buy the combo from JRC. Toss the radio. I hadn't really thought about that. I am using 2 DX3's currently on my 8s rigs, Xmaxx and K8S. The K8 I bought as an RTR (v1), and the Xmaxx has the radio/receiver from my Lasernut. I wanted the most power I could get (8.4v) to the steering servos in both. Helps, both are running S905 servos. The Lasernut ended up with a TQi radio in it. ATM, I'm using 6 different radios for different about a dozen rigs, LOL. I think I need to buy more FS receivers again.. I was on a tear buying rc's for a while, but funds have become dried up, the last I bought was the K8 late last year. My bro is supposed to be giving me an E Revo 2.0, he has 2 currently. Not sure how I feel about having one. More to keep up with when I'm already struggling. I guess it's a "good" problem to have, too many rc's.
Spending $23 on a RTR radio, or spending $55 on one with a ton more features and cheap Rx's
That's where I find my dilemmas. You're already balls deep in Spektrum Rx's though, so I get it. But at what point do you stop digging yourself deeper
