Overview

The DX6R smart radio will transform your driving experience. Touch-screen simplicity, WiFi connectivity, unbeatable DSMR® range and security, 5.5ms frame rates, telemetry, Bluetooth model transfer – you get it all and more..

Android-Powered Touch Screen or Scroller

You can literally 'tap' into the DX6R's programming features using an Android-powered, touch screen. Long-time Spektrum users who prefer the more tactile scrolling selector can use it. Whichever input you use, the big color display makes navigating menus and adjusting settings as easy as it gets.

WiFi Connection for Updates and Apps

When connected to WiFi, the DX6R gets even smarter. You can instantly make firmware and RaceWare™ updates, download model setups from other users and add approved third-party apps. The DX6R will even be able to alert you when new updates or setups become available.

Bluetooth Model Transfer

If you’re out driving with another DX6R owner, you can quickly and easily swap model setups via Bluetooth. No WiFi or SD card transfer necessary. Just link up and swap.

Built-In Telemetry

The built-in telemetry feature can give you real-time information on things like your vehicle's battery voltage, signal quality, motor temperature and more.* Using the voice alert system, you can program the DX6R to tell you when specific telemetry values reach or exceed limits you define. You can also have it call out a sequence of telemetry values on demand with the flip of a switch.

*Vehicle must be equipped with a telemetry-enabled receiver like the included SR6000T.

Frequency-Agile DSMR® Technology

The DX6R is built around frequency-agile, DSMR 2.4GHz technology. This exclusive Spektrum™ technology can be used in any type of surface application, including boats. Its range and response, particularly in noisy 2.4GHz environments, are superb. It's also backwards compatible with DSM2® and marine-specific Spektrum receivers. This means most longtime Spektrum users can continue to use the receivers they have. They’ll only need to upgrade if they want the frequency-agility of a DSMR receiver for busy 2.4GHz environments.

Superb Ergonomics

Optimized weight distribution and an abundance of adjustable features make it easy to customize the DX6R’s ergonomics to your driving style. You will enjoy a sense of balance and comfort that perfectly complements the precision of DSMR technology, especially during long racing heats.

Ergonomic features include:

Multiple wheel angle settings
Adjustable trigger and steering tension
Adjustable trigger position (fore-to-aft and side-to-side)
Left- or right-hand steering
Multiple drop-down options
Three grip sizes
Smooth, dual-ball bearing precision
Wireless Link for Spektrum FPV Headsets

This exclusive Spektrum technology makes it possible to link with specially-equipped Spektrum FPV headsets so you can wirelessly control head tracking or remotely change video frequencies.

5.5-Millisecond Frame Rate

When matched with a receiver capable of 5.5ms frame rates, the DX6R delivers lightning-fast response that gives new meaning to the word ‘connected’.

250-Model Memory

The enormous capacity of the DX6R’s on-board memory means you will rarely, if ever, need to juggle models between transmitter memory and your SD card.

Includes SR6000T Telemetry and SR2000 Race Receivers

You can take advantage of all six channels and telemetry functions with the included SR6000T. A tiny SR2000 Race Receiver capable of a 5.5-millisecond frame rate is also included.

Programmable Voice Alerts

Keep tabs on important information without ever taking your eyes off what you’re driving. With the programmable voice alert system, you can have the DX6R call out lap times or report telemetry information. If an alarm goes off, you won’t have to look at the display to see what’s happening. The DX6R will tell you.

In addition to a built-in speaker, the DX6R has a headphone jack that allows you to monitor voice alerts using earbuds so you don’t bother other drivers.

Programming Features

The DX6R comes with an impressive list of programming features, some of which include:

Up to 3 drive modes per model
AVC® programming for compatible receivers
Programmable mixes
7-Point throttle and steering curves
Voice alert programming
Dual rates and expo
And more!
Charging Base

You don’t have to remove the battery of plug in the transmitter when it comes time to recharge. The DX6R includes a handy charging base that doubles as a transmitter holder. Its compact footprint won’t clutter up your pit station or workbench either.

Got some good specs, some over kill. But andriod system is just badass. Expensive though. Then add extra receivers and sensors.

Yeah, some of the bells and whistles are probably not necessary, but the abundance of almost useless options has become commonplace in some higher end radios.


Honestly, I don't think that the price is that bad for the features. Just compare it to a 4PX; the 4PX is two channels short, doesn't come with a rechargeable battery and charger/stand, the DX6r has a touchscreen (yes, there could be problems, but who knows until reviews start coming out), and the DX6r's model memory is enormous. Let's not forget that you get a 6 channel, telemetry-capable receiver AND an SR2000 racing RX. Oh yeah, the Spektrum is $50 less expensive on top of it all.

Personally, I don't think it looks all that great, but I will forgo that small issue if the reviews read like the "Features" page...

Besides all of the obvious features, I am most intrigued by the "3 drive modes per model." That seems interesting for Ultra 4 cars, where the throttle curve, braking curve, and steering exponential might be set differently depending on the style of course. It brings a whole new level of tuning for your electronics.

Probably a month or two after the Nuremburg toy fair... I am not sure when that is though.

Now they just need to release a receiver that supports AVC , 2+ assignable channels and telemetry.

So with this I assume you have a channel for throttle and one for steering and then with AVC you use up 2 more, leaving you with 2 for accessories?

Yes, I believe that was what Denis was hoping for as well.

I wonder if the SRS4210 will receive 6 channels but the current radios simply won't transmit? I mean, there are obviousy different circuits for the two current AUX channels, AVC control vs two AUX channels, so maybe the SRS4210 can receive both sets at the same time. Then I wouldn't need to buy two new receivers...

Dang... I didn't realize the SR6000T didn't support AVC...

I wish that it did...

Since Spektrum has already brought out two new receivers that make specific use of the DX6r's new functionality, I would hope that a full 4 channel with AVC receiver is in the works.

I wonder if the backward compatibility is a lie like it is with the dx4s

All Spektrum radios were backwards compatible until January 2015. It isn't so much a lie but poor product description updates. The new manuals only say that they are compatible with DSM2 and DSMr.

Besides, if you actually read the DX6r's description/specs, it only says DSMr compatible.

This might be just what I've been waiting for to use with my Summit. I really like how easy it is to pick up a new Spektrum radio and just use it without going to the manual 100 times. I have friends with radios they've ran for months and still can't figure out how to do, what should be, the simplest tasks. The price is pretty steep albeit totally worth it I'm sure. Maybe Spektrum will do some kind of trade up sale like they have in the past. There's always RPP's coupon codes. I'll figure out someway to justify it.
