Thanks! There weren't a ton of videos on it, and the ones that are available just show a quick unboxing so I wanted to give a sense of the programming potential. Took me a while to learn it myself haha

This was my first radio I decided to buy, I’ve been using the rtr radios, and this radio feels 2000x better, completely worth it

Great Review!!!..Really Cool Transmitter👍😎🎈..Great design 😊

😍 everytime I see this rugged radio, just want to get one.🤤

still to this date, best explanation I have found, ty

I like how u actually describe the item instead of just saying yeah I got one lol. Thanks 🙏

Excellent video reference, handing this off to the kids with a quick rate change setup is extremely beneficial.

Great transmitter.! Thanks for the in depth. It's funny, I could've really used that timer last week. LOL. Had to keep setting my phone for five min runs. Great video, well done.!

RC Girl 🏎 sure, recently I have been attempting to construct a new speed run challenge. Trying to have a challenge where you can use any vehicle, on any terrain and see if you can cover 3 miles in under five minutes. I had the timer set up on my phone but it would have been quite a bit easier to have the timer right on my transmitter with out having to fiddle with another device. For the price. It’s a great transmitter. Many thanks for the wicked informative video.!👍😄🏎

Just picked one up yesterday. Thanks for the overview.

It's about time someone does a halfway decent video on the dx5c rugged 😎🤙🇺🇸☝️

Awesome video, thanks for the good info

I did find it very helpful. I am looking for ONE radio that I can carry for my three RC vehicles: short course, monster truck and crawler. So many reviews are not talking about the transmitters capabilities. Thanks for the informative review.

Freaking love my DX5 Rugged. Bought it specifically for my TRX4 Sport but ended up buying an additional 2 SR315 3ch Rx's for my AE RC10-TC3 and Slash. Which the later 2 models were using an older than dirt DX3 1st Gen DSM radio. Yes it supported 3 channels but there isn't the level of fine tuning at all in it. Freaking nice having all 3 models on one Tx. My ultimate favorite feature on the DX5 is that single press G button on the thumb. I use a Mamba X ESC in both my Slash and TRX4. You can set a function on the Aux Wire Mode. For the Slash I have it set to Toggle Reverse On/Off and the TRX4 I have it set to toggle Rock Race/Crawler Mode. Basically Crawler mode changes the Throttle curve to be flatter and turns Drag Brake up to 100%. My old TC3(18 years old and still competitive) I mostly use for Racing in Vintage Trans Am (VTA) 25.5t Spec class, 100% Reedy powered. Otherwise that chassis gets the Drifter body with LED lights tossed on Ch3.

This looks like an excellent radio! Great review! I'm sold!

Im ordering one now thanks so much hun love watching you

Appreciate you sharing RC girl, I just picked up the green version, haven’t got into it yet I will be soon, so appreciate the info. Happy trailing

I just got this setup last week. The touch tumb wheel doesn't like me yet LOL. I'm planning on installing it into my TRX4 Bronco once I get the basics figured out with it. I just haven't had time to set and tinker with it yet. All my remotes are traxxas so it will be a definite learning curve for me. Thank you for the review. Helped me understand it better.

Good review,,,

Cool rc radio

nice 😍👍👍

Do you know if you need to use spektrum smart lipos to acess all the features of the radio. Like if I use the spektrum esc and motor, but no smart lipos, do I get acess to stuff like motor temp?

Nice video. Kind split on how I feel about the haptic control. It did not respond well in the store when I tried it I been on the fence on this. Please make a video if you get it setup to work correctly withthe TRX4. That woukd be my biggest deciding factor if I can get it working with TRX4

RC girl huh, how refreshing. Nice transmitter.

Great Video. I will have my version of a GoPro mount updated on thingiverse by tomorrow! How's the printing coming along?

The dx5c works great with a trx4. If you have the mamba x you can set it up on a servo y so that when you shift to 2nd it will turn off the drag break so you do t nose over

What's the approximate range of this transmitter you obtained with It? And how far the telemetry on it could be functional? Thank you.

Is it possible to connect the TM1000 module to this combo for rc cars? Want to use the temp and voltage meters

Is there a way to set a button for throttle limit like the stx2?

Cool Vid! Not sure where I saw this but someone mounted a beer holder on that chasis brace...cracked me up!

So, I thought I had an odd question about this controller but it might not be too odd after you mentioned one handed driving and your nephew. My question is would this controller be hard to use with your right hand only? I have recently gotten into RCs (just ordered my first truck online last week and waiting for it to come in) and only have my right hand due to a motor vehicle accident. I see that these are setup for a more left handed use though.

I do a lot of filming so I would really like to have this for the one-handed feature definitely would like to see a video possibly on how you set your servos for your crawler limits as I have the same truck. I also hate to laugh but I almost did the same thing and drove my truck off my workbench when I got my new arrma Turn they do rate on the throttle all the way up not thinking and Bam right off in the floor

Great informative learning video Haley ! I Think I'm hot for Beautiful Teacher-She's Gorgeous but I'm old so I may forget in a second or two...Hahaha! Keep Smiling!

I am having problems programming this radio. It took me an hour just to set-up servo reverse. Any ideas? I have radios from several different manufactures and was able to figure out the radio quickly.

You are such a breath of fresh air here in the rc word you give nerds like me hope that a girl could like us possibly 😀 please dont take that the wrong way take it as a compliment.

After some time how are you liking this radio so far looking at upgrading myself

What weight diff oils did you end up running in your Proline MT?

How did you set up the trx 4 with it

Is the AVC similar to Taxxas' TSM? And with 4 AA batteries how long does the radio usually last you? Also, when the batteries do you lose the stored information on the radio? Great video by the way!

Great video's. Im planing on buying this transmitter but do I have to buy a new receiver for all my rc's or will it connect to my current receivers? New to the hobby.

Depends on what receivers you currently run. It needs to be run of DSMR or DSM2 compatible spektrum receivers. I run the SR515 in most of my rigs. That's kind of the one downside is that receivers are a bit on the pricey end depending on how many channels you want. They come in 2, 3, and 6 channels I believe

I am fairly new to RC crawling and a complete noob to radio set ups. I currently have 3 rigs (HPI Venture, Axial Wraith Spawn and Axial Yeti Jr.) Do I need to have a Spektrum RC SR515 receiver for each of my rigs in order to use them with this radio or does the radio have the ability to bind with other receivers?

It needs to be a DSMR/DSM2 spektrum receiver, so not necessarily an sr515, but one that works on that spektrum protocol. Unfortunately, the spektrum receivers are a bit pricey! I just had to buy a couple

is the sr515 receiver that comes with it water proof?

i got one and it's pretty cool. the touch scroll is super janky and takes tiem to get used to. it chuggs batteries like crazy too and the rubber protector on the top comes off if you even look at it too XD does anyone know if the standard receiver does battery voltage reading? my radio shows 5.9 volts and if i do something with the car it jumps to 6.0 for a second and then it comes back down to 5.9.

Thank you for showing the menues in detail. I don't mind the price of the radio, but if you are used to the prices of FrSky receivers for air radios the prices for something as simple as a 3ch receiver with no diversity antennas or telemetry seem too much like a ripoff. This is the reason I don't use my DX4C for all cars and as much as I like the rugged - I fear it will share the DX4's fate in the end.
