Spektrum RC NX8 2.4GHz DSMX 8-Channel Radio System (Transmitter Only)

Being able to customize the display colors is great! A bit easier to use then my DX8, love the shortcut feature! User manual is not much help when setting it up, you have to watch the online videos to fully understand all the functions and features. File transfer from the DX8 to the NX8 was problematic but I finally made it work. Disappointed that my custom audio files did not transfer but the on board files are more then adequate. All in all it is a powerful radio for the money and I am glad I bought it.

WoW! Love this transmitter! Great full-featured unit. Love the wifi-capable system. A lot to learn but doing it in increments....wish the manual was a little more complete. Using it with the RF RealFlight Trainer and RF Full Flying program to sharpen my flying skills. Prepping myself to fly my new Graco so I do not flip the wrong switch. It seems to work well with the flying programs. This is my first fully equipped transmitter. So happy I purchased it. Well worth the money. It feels and looks so much more like a professional unit compared to the cheap units I have used in the past. Spektrum did a fantastic job designing this unit and the fact that it flys so many different planes, drones, and copters. Looking forward to a few years of fun flying with this transmitter. RC planes and cars are changing so fast it is hard to keep up with the new technologies.

I have to be honest, I had a mishap. HOWEVER, Amain was solid AF and made my purchase quality at a good price with a great transmitter. Thank you Amain!

So far so good. Models transferred from my DX7. WIFI is nice addition. Only downside is the small 2200 mAh battery.

Great radio. Has more features and functions than I originally thought. Very happy with purchase.

Amain rocks. One of the few hobby places that offer discount on most items in a sale. The buying and tracking of orders is the best!

Outstanding transmitter!!! A must have to control all your planes. Added the orange grips and it looks amazing.

Awesome radio. As someone that's been racing RC cars for over 13+ years and took almost 7+ years off from flying, I am confident the Spektrum NX series radios & IX series radios are probably the easiest to understand and work with. Stepping back into flying after years away, to start doing 3D flying again and the NX8 does not disappoint. Off the initial impression, the radio has a great fit and finish look to it. The rubber grips feel good in your hand, and the radio feels lighter then it looks. Before I picked up the radio when taking it out of the box, I thought it was going to have a more firm weight to it, but it's surprisingly light. Which if you use a neck strap is not a bad thing and even better for people who like to hold their radio instead. I wouldn't mind it being a tad bit heavier, but that's just me. The gimbals are very smooth, however the springs could use a better tension to them, I personally like a lose feedback on my gimbals to feel the least possible spring tension on both gimbals, maybe my radio has to break in a little more, but so far they are not off to a bad start on initial feel. Spektrum adds a nice touch giving you the NX8 model neck strap to go with your radio, which is really comfortable and goes together great with the radio! It was very easy to register the radio and upgrade the firmware all from the NX8, using my home wifi to get it on the network, that's a great feature with spektrum. No more USB cables for software updates if you don't want to.

Overall, really happy with the purchase, I got just the radio only as I paired this with a DSMX satellite in my Goosky S2 Legend, using the Kensung satellite. I plan to keep this radio for a while as I will be moving up into a bigger class heli in the future to use with the bigger DSMX Spektrum brand Satellites. Maybe at some point I would like to see myself moving over to the IX line of spektrum radios. But for the time being, the NX8 is a TON of radio for the price, you get a vast amount of features, adjustability and personalizing options, there is a lot to read up on with the manual to keep learning what you can do, but so far I am happy!

I’ve used it on Real Flight 9.5s and in that regard it is amazing! I have also bound it to my Sport CubS2, I’ve decided to make most of my mistakes in the virtual world! I am new to this and I am very excited to fly!

My NX8 developed a "system fault, return radio for service" program error in only the fourth month of use.
Boots up to a red screen with a system fault message and won't respond to any input. It does include an annoying system fault voice message.
so far it is 25$ to ship it to Horizon and 12$ to get it back plus 40$ minimum Horizon service charge and this is on a a radio that did not work after less than 4 months of use

This is a great transmitter easy to use and packed with features. Light weight and customizable. A great transmitter for the price

AS A NOOB THIS REMOTE IS EXTREMELY HARD THANK GOD I'M EXTREMELY SMART WITH COMPUTER ? SOFTWARE ETC THAT & THE 30+HR'S OF YOUTUBE VIDEO'S ???? ? EITHER WAY THIS TRANSMITTER IS ?
