Spektrum DX5 Rugged DSMR transmitter orange
Horizon Hobby have introduced the new Spektrum DX5 Rugged DSMR transmitter in a special orange edition. The 5-channel surface transmitter redefines radio control with a level of durability to match the tough conditions off-roaders, bashers and boaters encounter constantly. The designers started with a chassis based on the Spektrum ergonomic design found on the popular DX5C and competition favourite DX5 Pro. From there, they integrated cordless power tool feature ideas for the die-hard punishment those products endure. The result is an RC system with exceptional durability in addition to other innovative features that unite with a level of precision, versatility and convenience.
Moulded Thermoplastic Polyurethane TPU bumpers surround the radio chassis to protect it against drops, bumps and even a few bangs here and there. There’s no external antenna to snag or worry about—a low-profile ridge on the chassis protects the robust high-speed signal output internally. A versatile front chassis guard enhances durability further and provides mounting options for user-integrated accessories such as a camera, light source or anything else. The pair of lanyard mounting points gives drivers the ability to keep the transmitter close and gain a free hand when not driving. An easy-access accessory compartment makes it possible to can carry small tools, such as a T-wrench that smartly snaps into the internal mount provided. Spektrum also increased the transmitter’s water-resistance to give drivers peace of mind should there be an unexpected splash of water or some drops of rain. Last, but not least, is an aggressive off-road style steering wheel that expands its ruggedness even further, and equipped it with an innovative thumb-lever to make controlling the vehicle with one-hand safer and more precise.
To conquer the wild, the DX5 Rugged gives drivers 5-channel versatility and hosts an array of auxiliary switches for lights, winches and more. Its interface features an innovative capacitive-touch control panel that offers a greater resistance to moisture and is easy to use. Simply slide your finger over the control panel and tap to select the menus, options and values on the easy-to-read LCD display. Integrated telemetry and Smart telemetry capability allows to view vital data such as motor RPM, vehicle speed, battery voltage and temperature right on the transmitter in real-time.
