Spektrum DX5 Rugged 5-Channel DSMR Transmitter with 6-Channel AVC Surface Receiver SR6200A, SPM5210, Black

Great radio, just very complicated for the average or beginning rc'er. Pleased with my purchase.

Works well, however if you are going to sell a returned item as “Like New” the saved data from the previous purchaser should be deleted and verify correct packaging. One of the battery terminals was bent over on the edge causing an issue with battery installation.

Problem #1: AVC could not be defeated, causing my shifting servo to burn out and damage the transmission in the process.Problem #2: Brake and Reverse do not work. This is the second BRAND NEW receiver to do this.Problem #3: The throttle channel of the transmitter itself doesn't work AT ALL. All it does is scream at me.Problem #4 Trying 3 different transmitters with the provided reciever, all 3 have the same issues: NO REVERSE. Tried 3 different receivers with the DX5R, and the same result.Save yourself the money, and get literally ANY other system.

No backlight. Screen should be Illuminated it's hard to see

There is nothing rugged about this controller, the touch screen part is terribly hard to work, for 300$ there is no backlight on the screen. So when it gets close to dark you can't see the screen! I can't believe they call it rugged, all the rubber trim is coming off, not for the beginner for sure! Not user friendly! I don't like to and rarely do give this kind of a review, but this is the worst rc product I have ever bought! Ps, and now mine goes through 4 aa batteries in about 6 days!

Waste
