NEW - DX5e

The DX5e brings together the unbeatable control of Spektrum 2.4GHz DSMX technology with a simple, easy-to-use design that's ideal for anyone who is new to RC or the avid modeler on a budget. And while it is one of the best values in RC, it is anything but a stripped down transmitter. In fact, it boasts many features you simply won't find on most transmitters in its price range. Things like a Hi/Lo control rate switch, an extra function switch and available Delta wing mixing.

And because it's a full-range 2.4GHz transmitter, you can use the DX5e with everything from ultra micro helis and airplanes to bigger scale trainers and sport planes. It's a great way to try out the exciting world of Bind-N-Fly aircraft, too. It's 5-channels and extra functions will allow you to fly just about all of them. .

Frequently Asked Questions

Just How Good is DSMX™?

In multiple tests, 100 DSMX™ systems were operated simultaneously for extended periods of time. During these tests not a single case of RF link loss, latency increase or control degradation was experienced or recorded.

Is DSM2 and DSMX™ equipment compatible?

Yes. DSM2 transmitters are forward compatible with DSMX™ receivers and DSMX transmitters are backward compatible with DSM2 receivers. And because DSM2 and DSMX™ share the same wideband DSSS foundation, all Spektrum users will enjoy superior range, speed and precision whether they're using DSM2 equipment, DSMX™ equipment or a combination of both.

 


DX5e system includes a nicad-equipped transmitter, DSMX AR600 6-Channel Receiver Ultralite , bind plug, and instruction manuel.

DX5e 5 Channel Full Range w/o Servos MD2

Included

DSMX AR600 6-Channel Receiver Ultralite

The DX5e comes with AR600 DSMX 6-channel receiver which is a great solution for all model boats and aircraft requiring full range up to six channels. The AR600 is the affordable way to equip your sport plane or trainer with the speed, and reliability of DSMX control. And finding room to mount it is easy. Its lightweight, compact case design easily fits into any fuselage, including those of most park flyers.

NOTE: The AR600 receiver is not compatible with the DX6 park flyer radio system.

DX5e also works with all these receivers

AR6100 DSM2 MicroLite 6-Channel Receiver, Air

AR6100 DSM2 ML 6-Channel Receiver End-Pin, Air

BR6000 DSM DuaLink 6-Channel Bot Receiver
Whether you're a afternoon laid back cruiser, or an all out intense racer, you can sail with the no-pins, no-crystals, no-glitches, no-interference freedom and security of 2.4GHz Spektrum DSMX™ technology.
BREAKTHROUGH!  

Less Weight
• The small 6-channel RX only weighs 10 grams and only draws 3.5V-9.6V while most standard receivers weight around 42.5 grams.
• Compact design 21.6mm x 30.1mm x 12.3mm

 

Completely Immune to Environmental and Model Interference
Up to this time, conventional ground radios have been operating on either the 27 MHz or the 75MHz narrow band systems. These bands are

  • On a single channel
  • They are a very narrow band channels - only 20 KHz apart, and are extremely vulnerable to many causes of radio interference

These causes of interference come from some one else on the same channel - like

  • Another modeler on the same frequency
  • The FCC allows High Power 72 MHz users to transmit on channels that are in between our RC channels. Some local businesses have been know to transmit up to 50,000 KHz on these in between channels, giving off a lot of interference to RC and in some cases have even shut down the use of certain frequencies as some clubs due to know interference issues.

Another major cause of interference on the 27 and 75MHz bands come from RF noise. The 72 MHZ band is extremely vulnerable to model generated noise coming from

  • Noisy sail winches motors
  • Metal on metal, such as rudder post passing thru hull
  • Metal Sidestays, mast, boom, boom vangs binding and twisting when maneuvering the sails

And the 3rd type of interference on the 27 and 75MGz band is 3im and 2im issues. This is when 2 or 3 other modelers are on frequencies that create a harmonic witch then creates interference on yet another channel.

However, Spread Spektrum has eliminated all these issues. The DX5e Spread Spektrum system is a DuaLink system that operates in the ultra high 2.4GHz band. This ultra high frequency offers several advantages over conventional 27 and 75MHz systems. First, all RF interference only exists below 300MHz. At 2.4GHz (that’s 2400MHz) the operational frequency range of the Spectrum system is 8 times higher than the range of this model-generated RF noise, making the system immune to these types of interference.

Secondly, unlike the 27 and 75MHz band, the FCC limits the power output in this 2.4GHz to a maximum of 1watt. So, consequently no “high power” commercial users interspersed in the 2.4 GHz band.  

Third, the FCC also Mandates a function called Collision Avoidance on the 2.4GHz band - meaning anything turned on in the 2.4 range must be cognitive or aware of other things in that band. So, when the DX6 is turned on, the first thing it does is scan all 80 channels looking for a open channel to choose. Once it finds one it then locks on and then turns on the transmitter. After it does that, because the DX6 is a DuaLink system, it then searches for a second open frequency, locks into that one and then transmits on this second frequency also. Thus, DuaLink means 2 transmitters and 2 receivers and it actually transmits and receives on 2 frequencies simultaneously. Collision Avoidance prevents a system from coming on a frequency already taken and prohibits other systems from coming on and interfering

  • WIFI
  • Wireless routers
  • Cordless phones

Anything on the 2.4 GHz band must have "Collision Avoidance".

 

Spektrum's "GUID"
• Each DX5e has a chip that has it's own GUID, Globally Unique Identifier. This GUID or secret code has so many digits that it is possible to have over 4.2 Billion different combinations.

  • The transmitter comes from the factory with its own unique GUID pre assigned. All receivers that want to communicate with this transmitter will first have to be taught the transmitter's GUID by a process called binding. Once a receiver is bound to a particular transmitter, that receiver will only take commands from that transmitter and nothing else.
  • You can bind an unlimited number of receivers to a single transmitter
  • And you can bind a receiver as many times as you want
  • The DX6 is sold with the receiver already bound to the transmitter - so one really only needs to bind addition receivers

 

No Frequency Overlaps or Crystals
• Here's the best part... no more changing crystals... no worrying about someone else on your channel.
• Simply turn the DX5e on and it scans for 2 available frequencies, then set the TX and RX. You can arrive late and even with a race going on, turn on the system, and it will not interfere with those racing... but it will set itself and your ready to go.

 

No more Interference
• The Spektrum's DX5e sport park flyer system utilizes patent-pending DuaLink ™ technology to create a secure, reliable, robust 2.4GHz spread spectrum link!
• Because the signal is pure digital, it means that glitches are a thing of the past too. No more annoying glitches that shatter the confidence and cause you to worry about crashing. They're a thing of the past too.
Not to mention the nasty intermodulation issues that have plagued 27, 72 and 75 MHz like 2IM, 3IM and adjacent frequency. They too, can't affect DSMX.
