I’m confused as to why you would buy an nx20 at this point then. Yea of course the nx20 is a little nicer but still the main reason why most people bought it was because of the extra channels so why did they buy a $1200 radio when a $400 radio now has the same capability. I feel like this throws people who bought those bigger radios under the bus
@StevesRC22 күн бұрын
Here's a few reasons why, but ultimately it comes down to wants vs. needs. Analogous to owning a luxury car vs. an economy car. The NX20 compared to a NX8... Hall Effect gimbals, larger screen, more physical switches, Alum sliders, nicer grips, etc. Sure, they both can do roughly the same thing, but you do have more options with NX20 than you do with NX8.

Good to see you’re still at it! I watched you a lot when I first started flying RC helis.. then I’ve been into DJI drones, came back to a couple of planes, now I want to return to my roots, so to speak. I still have a (venerable) 300 cfx I’ve NEVER FLOWN, and I may get another old heli, the 230 s, But I am thinking I should get a newer radio too at some point.. it’s been ten year and I am still using my DX8! I told my wife back when I got it, “I can use this thing to fly anything in the store for years!”… so other than the drones that came with their own radios, that has been true. But with newer Smart batteries and newer smart aircraft models, I’m thinking I should upgrade my radio too. But there is nothing weong with it.. it’s mint! It still works the same as the first day I got it!

I am trying to set up a new NX8+ and there are some differences between the older NX8 and the updated NX8+. The manual has a channel input config screen from the NX8. It shows 5 Aux channels. The actually screen on the NX8+ has no Aux channels. The KZbin videos for the nx8 all direct that the SAFE select switch be programmed to Aux2. I can't get the switching set up on the NX8+ for switchable between beginner, intermediate, and advanced. When I bind the new transmitter it only comes up in beginner mode.

Hi. After updating the NX8 and the original receiver in the E-Flite Turbo Timber Evolution 1.5, BNF version, why does AS3X and SAFE not work when I re-use it from the BNF model database in the radio? I haven't flown the plane since the update because I don't have time to spend hours setting it up by trial and error. It seems that the database of preset models in the radio is not compatible with the new version.

Thanks for the helpful video. Will Spektrum release any receivers above 10 channels? OTher than the very expensive and big powersafe receivers, there arent many options to make use of the additional channels. You also cant daisy chain two smaller receivers together currently for more channels...
@hifinswordАй бұрын
IIRC, only the AR636 was able to redesignate its 6 outputs to channels above the 1-6 normal designations. You could have a standard 6 channel Rx and also the AR636, and control more than 6 channels. I may be wrong but even though the AR636 could listen up to 9 normal channels, I think with a remote Rx (AR636A only), it could receive up to 20 or 24 channels.
