How much is an open box, used a couple times DX5 rugged with the receiver worth guys? Im posting mine for sale and have no clue what its value might be.

Otherwise the major differences are the rubber add-ons and the touch sensors instead of wheel/buttons. I do wish they'd sell the thumb extension for the steering wheel separate, that is the one thing that really sets it apart for me. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk | |

I am surprised that no one has come out with a 3D printed version of the thumb extension. Or at least I haven't seen one yet! | |

Battery voltage is kinda helpful because you can glance at your radio and know how close you are to needing to change packs. Receiver voltage and ESC temp aren't that helpful and speed/RPM sensors aren't worth the hassle of setting up in a crawler. | |

I came across one on shapeways, but was too pricy for me. Built my own out of spare parts - fully adjustable: | |

Nice use of a driveshaft section! I have a few of them laying around. | |

I want to like this radio so bad, but the touch stuff is awful. Simply the worst. It took me 4 times as long to set it up as any other radio ive ever owned just because I was fighting the "touch" wheel. I've renamed it the fury wheel.

You get used to it, take some time for sure though. Now after using mine at least once a week since winter, it's become second nature and don't even notice how irritated I should be.

Can anyone tell me it the Rugged has MOA mixing. I am in the market for a new radio I have the DX5R but it is impossible to drive one handed, I like the rugged but I can not find out if it will do a duel esc mix for my Pro. My DX4S is on its last legs and I need a replacement radio. I don't want to switch brands as I have all my rigs on Spektrum DSMR

The winch also would be 3 position momentary. You might need to set the endpoints in the same screen. __________________________ Handy gearing spreadsheet | |

DX5 Rugged now available in green. https://www.horizonhobby.com/dx5-rug..._rot2_05072020 Touch screen is different than the other DX5 Rugged versions - "features better feel, control and operation." Not sure if there are any other changes. Green is a nice color but not very practical as it is more difficult to find in the dark or on the trail. I'd prefer glow in the dark, yellow or, better yet, hot pink but that's an extremely unlikely colorway, unfortunately. Last edited by spectre; 05-07-2020 at 06:46 PM. |
