Default Cheap Spektrum Dsm RX

I looked all over this forum and even at hobbyking.com trying to find a compatible spektrum rx that is cheap. Anyone know if one exists? I either did not search right one does not exist.

I built up a small sc truck for my son and I need a spektrum rx but I hate to spend more than the truck is worth on the RX alone.

The least expensive DSM RX is the SR300 or the Losi RTR clone. $50 new

GoNitroHobbies in NY has them for $34.95 with free shipping. That's the best I've seen for the SR300

This is a DSM2 receiver and will not work with older or lesser Spektrum and Losi radios.

Well sorry for the rest, at least the dx3r crowd have something to cheer about, i hope they will follow with the dsm ground receiver shortly.

My LHS has the Spektrum ones for $30 or $35, then they have the identical LOSI branded ones for $45. They said there's quite a few people that come in and buy the Losi ones, just because they're putting them in a Losi vehicle. Oh well, their money not mine.

Is it DSM2 or DSM? It will only work if the radio is DSM2.

from what i read DX3C, DX3E, DX2S & marine DX3S should all be able to sync to DSM2 RX... but still only operate at DSM1 speed

The EARLIER radios and modules but not the NEWER radios were DSM not DSM2. All DSM2 radios are backward compatible with DSM. If it has a marine designation it is DSM2 compatible.

afaik only the DX3Rs are DSM2

DX3C, DX3E, DX2S & marine DX3S still run DSM(1), most get shipped with SR300 RX which is DSM only
