Thanks for your input & experience. I only have the specktrum batteries that came with my very first charger/battery combo. Since then I haven't bought anything from them. Always felt overpriced for what I'm getting. The "smart" features do nothing for me except make it harder to find compatibility with other products (understand, specktrum wants their stuff proprietary).I have a DX5C.
In retropsopect I wish I never invested in Spektrum or any of their Rx's. AVC feature sucks and their Rx's are finicky and expensive, compared to Radiolink and Flysky Rx's.
I am very happy with the Radiolink RC6GS. Best long range. Full featured. RC4GS will save you a bit more coin. Same performance. Just 2 less channels.
I also have Flysky Noble NB4. These are both great radios at extreme different pricepoints.
Why would you even consider buying another Spektrum Radio, after all this? I hope it's not because you are enticed by the whole Smart Eco thing.
Cut your losses with Spektrum... You have other way better options out there.
I knew the OG dumbo rc were radiolink. But never knew it was an official extension of radiolink
Everything I’ve read, it’s just a subsidiary of radiolink. I’m pretty much convinced that they’re a legitimate threat to the big brands.
Im not kidding. I had to use my DX5 Pro today because both trucks I ran were set up on it, and I was legit bummed. That Dumbo is so much nicer to use, and feels more solid.

Getting a DX5C, you still have to Bind all your Spektrum Rx's to it anyway. Nothing easier about remaining with Spektrum at all. Spektrum marketting will have you think otherwise. And their Rx's are stupid expensive. Makes no sense, in the long haul. A Spektrum AVC/Telem Rx for instance is like $90.-$100.. More than a DX5C radio itself costs. A rip off. A Radiolink Rx has a Gyro built in and costs 1/4 the price. You can even disable the Gyro if you don't want that feature.The only thing leaning me more toward a DX5 is ease of hooking up to all my RTR Arrma's. Only modifications I've made to my vehicles is what breaks up to this point. Maybe you can sway me with how easy the swap of a RX is? As of now I would only have to this for my Mojave & Infraction. Electronics have always been my technical weakness, but anything mechanical I understand pretty well.
The RX with no Antennas are only good for running at a Track.Lil late to this thread but I switched to Flysky Noble a year ago and love it! Perfect for me as a basher. I had the rugged and I think the spektrum stuff literally feels like child's toys compared to the Noble. Only issue is range if you get the receivers without antennas. The larger ones are fine.
I can’t remember what I paid for my rugged(way too much) and noble right off the top of my head. But I just looked them up and the rugged cost more now. It felt like a toy to me so I sold it. Noble comes with 2 rx’s..The RX with no Antennas are only good for running at a Track.
WIth Wide open bashing, you need the better Rx for the NB4. Been there. Know what you mean. TBH, you cant compare an NB4 with a Spektrum. Different price points.
I stand firm... The DX5 Pro is absolutely a rip off at its pricepoint.
Also, I would never buy any Upgrade radio that has Analog knobs. You are selling yourself short.
All digital with a screen and multimodel makes the most sense when dropping coin on radio's.
I had one so the same thing, at least it's covered under warranty.lolSo the power button on my Mojave decides to break randomly during a bash session. I take it apart amd decide it's not worth fixing.
Next day I take my infraction out for a quick spin and the trigger decides to get shifted to one side.
Not sure how either of these happened, but rather than direct replacing I'm thinking of upgrading.
As of right now I'm looking at 3 options:
- Radiolink Rc6GS
-Dumbo RC X6
- DX5 Rugged looks overpriced but I like the look
Budget less than $150 including a few receivers. This will be my first transition away from original radios, but looks like installs are relatively easy?
I appreciate anyone's input for installs or recommendations on radios.
