Default SPEKTRUM DX3R pro's and con's

I've read the review on here and seriously thinking of getting one. But i would like to here from the people out there in oOple land who have been using one for a while. What do you think ?

I've had mine since they first came out and I can't fault it.
The styling is a marmite thing for many but personally I don't have a problem with it.

It is very light to hold which can take a bit to get used to but the user interface and menu programming is very easy to get on with.

Can't knock it.

Pro's:
Lightweight
Small
Comfortable
More than enough model memory
Only uses 4 AA's
Last a while -Battery Wise


Con's:
Feels a tad cheap
Some don't like it think it will break
Scroll wheel can break-If pushed too hard or abused..
No LED backlight


I have been running mine for best part of a year and a half, and love it. I love how light it is specially for long mains-Nitro. Fits my hands perfect and love the ease of use. I have not had 1 issue so far (Touch Wood) or loosing bind or glitching. I don't see myself changing anytime too tbh.. great tx

I've had mine for circa 5 months and like it, came from a KO Helios with Spektrum

What RXs are people using? Had glitch issues with a Tekin, but nothing else. But that's on a DSM micro RX

I wrote the review...

I love it and even though in over 18 years of racing i've always been a futaba guy through and through, I'd never swap it for a 4PK.

Haven't had the slightest issue with it in a year and a half, the battery consumption is ultra low: changed the batteries 4 times since i've had it, last time 2 weeks ago, so about 6 months on a set of duracells, that's awesome.

Yes the plastic feels cheap, but it actually isn't and I suspect it's because of the colour and not the material itself.

Planning on getting the case before Petit to protect it further.

Also will prob change all my RXs to DSM2, however just a question of whether Spektrum Module equipment can still bind to DSM2

this happened to the DX3S I have

just don't press to hard and use the left hand side of the roller as this has the thicker pin

got it replaced though FOC via importer out of warranty
