If I were just starting out, maybe I would get one, but for $100 less for a DX6e, or $80 less for a DX8E, I'm liking those DX series better for the value. Those two are dang good radios, and will do just about everything the NX will do. Just a couple more bells and whistles, charge more, and then discontinue DX series. That's Spektrums plans. IMHO.

@@DrWenChannel I don't think this radio has a multi-protocol capability. It only works with Spectrum receivers. I don't know if you can add multi protocol module to it. RadioMaster, and JUmperPro, are a couple of options to look at, if that's what you want to do. It's also @ $100 less. Good luck!

It is great that they put SAFE on a separate channel so that all the channels can be utilized.

👍 Yes, please run out and upgrade your Spektrum radios so us frugal new guys can get a deal on a used DX6 or DX8. 😊 [Half joking aside], appears to be a feature rich quality upgrade. Maybe a plus would be that the telemetry results in less planes being destroyed? That could be a big money saver in the long run.[

The additional safe select option on the NX6, basically makes this really a winner. I do not need more on any of my planes!

I have the Gen3 DX6 and I set up voice telemetry as well as alarm for lipo battery level for my Apprentice STS. But it’s very distracting so I tried to turn it off, but it won’t. Is this b/c once telemetry's configured with a plane, it will stay forever with the transmitter? How do I turn off telemetry?

Can you tell me if i am able to do a firmware upgrade on my dx6 for the airware version

GOOD DEAL !!!

Like your Dog man

Popeye!!! I missed that little guy. I may end up buying the NX8 or 10 at some point. These look good, and the Hall effect gimbals should be a nice upgrade. I have those on another radio and they are slick. The NX6 will open up new options for many hobbyists who want to fly with flaps and retracts and still have the ability to put SAFE on a switch at a fairly reasonable price.

Great question Robert! I would personally Highly recommend this radio, as it is basically "future proofed" for a very long time. If you can spend a few more bucks, I'd consider the NX8, as it provides two more channels, which can come in handy for slightly more advanced aircraft. Your next plane, as my own recommendation, would either be the Turbo Timber or the Valiant! Both amazing aircraft to push yourself on. After that, there are some amazing warbirds to consider. One of which will debut on our channel tomorrow, if not soon. I hope this helps! Please continue reaching out to us, but post a new comment when you do. KZread makes it difficult to respond to comments older than about a day or more for creators.

Definitely a great transmitter to have. Great to see Popeye is doing well. Excellent review Nate & Abby!!

Pretty neat radio, I'm happy with my DX8 but if I was looking for a radio one of the new models would be nice. Love the color display, new gimbals, new battery technology, even the fold down antenna. Downside is that its black, like my DX8, in the southern part of the US in the summer time you have to find a shady spot to sit the radio, you really can't leave it sitting out in the sun when its hot, a silver case would be a better, or maybe I should say a more practical choice.

Dang I'd love to have one of those shoot I'd settle for the old one at this point lol I'm building foam board planes so ive got to get a controller that's simple to switch between planes Awesome Controller thanks for the review guys 🔥👍✌️

Thanks for the info - but please be aware that you are giving put incorrect information - it is only the NX10 that has the magnetic gimbals, not the NX6 nor NX8 and unless they are in a sale I notice the price difference between and NX6 and NX8 is almost $99.00. just thought it important that channels giving out information are not giving out incorrect information.. I think if they can be found in a sale then the price difference could be $40.00 odd , also the price range you quote is to the TX only. - other wise I thought I would let you know based on your info , I have just purchased an NX6 as my DX9 backup TX... or maybe they will exchange rolls once I get my hands on the NX6 - thanks

Can the NX6 work with the AR7000 receiver? I dropped my DX7 and possibly messed up the rudder mix toggle. Bought it new, stored it for years, then dropped it.

I'll have to check out the 8 channel. Thanks

That battery was absolutely hilarious! So tiny

6 channels isn't enough enough for quads. 1st 4 channels AETR, that only leaves you 2 additional channels. Need additional channels for the following: arm, pre-arm (learned the hard way you want both for quads and helicopters), flight modes, turtle mode, and beeper (needed even for 4" quads - I'd have never found my X-knight yesterday without it). I also run another channel for lower rates while in Agility mode. 9 channels total.

Bingo! I started with drones, and am trying airplanes. The T16Pro with Hall effect gimbals was an improvement over TaranisQX7, but you do need all those channels, and paying 4 times as much to get a radio from Spectrum to do less, doesn't make sense, unless all you do is fly spektrum receivers in planes. They are a lot easier to bind and program their own receivers, so there's that!

Does the NX 6 satisfy most requirements for most BNF planes from Horizon? Been looking at a used DX8 or for almost same money a used NX6. Is six channels enough for a plane that also has flaps and gear plus flight modes

One last question before I pull the trigger on an NX radio. I'm leaning towards the NX6 since it has the 7th channel for SAFE The only way I see a need for 8 channels would be if I needed another channel for reverse. And Crow. Thoughts? plz and thank you.

QUESTION: Thank you so much for this video. I'm very excited about this new series from Spectrum. Currently I'm using the DXS that came with my RTF Carbon Cub S2+ 1.3 - I planned on using this plane as a BNF - my gateway into a future transmitter purchase. My question: If the new NX series precipitates a price discount on their DX9, what would be the better way to go? A NX8, or a DX9?

I’m really glad I skipped the Gen2’s, there are some nice little touches to this, especially the module cue from FrSky

I just bought an NX-8. It's a very nice radio.

Looks like a really neat radio. But too expensive for me.. :( I'd love to hear your thoughts on the radiomaster tx16s, it supports like 50 different protocols and also has the hall effect gimbals but only costs around 100-150 USD

You guys have the most informative channel for the real beginner that has never flown fixed wing. Thanks for that! Question, I have been considering a RTF from Horizon Hobby.

I can figure out what to use 6 channels for (Prop, ailerons, flaps, rudder, elevator, and then retractable gear).

Things like flight modes (e.g. SAFE and other receiver-integrated, remote-triggered modes), telemetry, lights, ailerons on separate channels (though “flaps” probably covers that one, as I can’t think of any examples of using _both_ independent aileron channels _and_ dedicated flaps/spoilers on a model), additional sensors (GPS, accelerometers, etc.), payload drop bay, camera trigger, independently-servo’d steerable nose gear... No doubt there are plenty more ways to fill an available channel. 16-channel radios wouldn’t be the hot sellers they are unless people had ideas for how to use them! 🤔😁

I have several Spektrum radios but I sure wouldn't buy their radios now. There are much much better options which use OpenTX. The new one from Radiomaster looks great. FrSky used to make good stuff but wouldn't buy their stuff anymore now that they switched to a proprietary protocol. Make sure to take a look at some of the quadcopter channels and see the radios they're using. Spektrum was cool ten years ago but now they're now way overpriced for what you get.

You may want to double check but the hall sensor gimbals are only available in the NX10.

It’s a fair point that Deviation and OpenTX are not on the same level of user-friendliness as Spektrum. However, they aren’t order-of-magnitude different, you get used to the design language reasonably quickly, and there are plenty of helpful resources on KZread and elsewhere to guide you along. If that’s not acceptable, by all means go with Spektrum (or whichever system you like). It’s also a fair point that Spektrum products are manufactured in China, same as most things in this hobby. I don’t begrudge anyone wanting to patronize domestic businesses. 👍 Just be aware that U.S. branded doesn’t automatically mean U.S. built. I tend to lean toward kkuenzel56’s position on the price/value scale. But then I’m thoughtful in how I handle my gear, so I don’t need it to be substantially over-engineered for it to remain in good condition over the long run. I’m fine allocating those dollars toward expanded features/capabilities (ergo, the Jumper multi-protocol radios appeal to me), or just saving them for something else. Other people will prefer to go the over-engineered, don’t-have-to-be-careful-with-it route, and that’s fine. Whatever floats your boat, or flies your plane! 😁

I'm seriously considering the NX8, as I've noticed the Tactic line of radios and receivers seems to be shrinking, leading me to wonder if it's being phased out. Adding a Spektrum radio would open up a large market of BNF models as well. Now that you've had it for nearly 3 months, how do you like it?

By the way, there are multiple brands of magnetic charging cables that can make the lower end NX radios magnetic as well. The magnetic adapters I'm using are inexpensive and work on micro usb, usb-c and Apple lightning.

That sounds cool! Might have to pick one up for myself 👍😁😎⚓

Hi Nate, how would you compare NX6 with DX6e? For beginner/intermediate RC pilots, would NX6 be a better choice at this point (Nov/Dec 2020)? I'm transitioning from RTF to PNP or BNF airplanes now, can you please review some of the top choice budget transmitters that might be as good (but cheaper) as Spektrum, maybe from Banggood.com? Thanks!

Honestly I wouldn't recommend cheating out out on a transmitter the best begginer transmitter in my opinion is the dx6e I have it and I love it, I would never recommend the dxe or dxs only because you can't program them to your liking, I will never use any thing but spektrum hope this helps

Love it !! I'm a Spektrum fan since I started, tried the T16 Pro, came back. I still love my TX6 2nd gen. But in the future...As for the " wholesome part " , please continue. We have enough drama.

Thanks! Glad to know it is appreciated 😀👍⚓😎

Lots of negative comments here. I think that happends every time a new radio comes out. Especially that brand. I fly two brands, both recommended by you. I see no reason to rush out and invest in a new radio any time soon. I just get used to one, and a new model comes out. Oh well. I say stick to what works best for you. If you need a new radio, then consider this model. Happy flying!

I'd hoped they had worked on getting prices down to compete with newer systems by other manufacturers. But instead they pack telemetry circuitry inside everything, jack up the price of a TX and come out with a whole proprietary "smart" line of products that also cost an arm and a leg. $300+ for a 6 channel TX? $100 for a 6-ch receiver? Ummmm....no.

where did you buy this from and how long

Please advise... i habe a handful of planes, but have not flown more than a few packs in the last 2 years... my DX6i is ready to be retired. So far all of my planes have been 4 and 5 channels, but I'm hoping to add a couple 6-7ch warbirds soon, and get back into flying. Someday I may fly planes like the 1.5m P-51 or the 2.1m Cub, but don't forsee anything nitro/gas or more than possibly 8ch in the near future. I have decided not to get the DX8e unless I simply cannot afford an NX radio, in that case at least an 8e would get me back in the air. Would you say the NX8, for about $40 more would be a wise choice? I would likely get the larger battery eventually, so wondering if the overall additional cost of about $100 is worth getting the NX10, even if I would likely never use all 10 channels. So, on a budget, and with 4 and 5ch planes in my current hangar, and warbirds and aerobats in the 1.2m-1.5m range, and one larger Carbon Cub type plane on the wish list.....what radio do you suggest I try to pick up this winter? DX8e, NX6/8/10? I'm leaning towards an NX8...

I think the NX8 is your best choice for sure. I don't imagine you'll likely be needing more channels than that on anything you've mentioned. I love my DX8, but am looking forward to upgrading to the NX8 as soon as I can. The NX6 and NX8 will be our daily flyers! Hope this helps. Happy Flying! Also, if you plan on ordering online, please consider doing so using our links as it helps to support our channel at no additional cost to you. Thanks! 👍😎⚓

@@TheRcSaylors , thanks for getting back to me... when the time comes I will definitely seek out a link if not buying through my LHS.(I try to support the local shop as much as possible, but my "local" shop is like an hour and a half drive to get there, so I do order online some as well)
