Spektrum DX4S Thread

[rawalker666]

has anyone actually set one of these up for proportional dig before i buy one got a perfectly good dx3c im happy with but want to be able to do the proportional dig and loose my little novak dig but cant afford to waste the money if it dont do what i want

[briang]

love it!!

cant get the center cover off the wheel to change it to the one i have on my dx3s....but the stock wheel is growing on me!!

love the 3pos aux channels!!

[littledvl]

Just ordered one today to replace my dx3s, needed more channels for my rigs and being able to have that extra channel sold me on it.

i like how each switch is assignable...if you dont like where the aux switch is...just move it! now i just need to go and bind it to all my cars....i think i have 18 with spektrum receivers...lol

[briang]

I was looking at one of these but sounds like much more expierienced people say stick with fatuba?

Has anyone been able to successfully set it up for a dual esc setup yet?

[crawl-o-matic]

...it'd be nice to have someone like Harley to answer these questions....oh wait, never mind

No problems so far.

Would you guys recommend this for a person just entering the hobby?

This is my first multi function radio, its pretty easy to use and navigate through. So yes i would recommend it.

I asked this in another thread but it would seem this may also be a sensible place to get it if i want a quick answer:

Is it possible for someone to take a video of the end result of the dual ESC /proportional programming so i can see which buttons you use and how it all works,

Something similar to this which losikid did for the gt3b
GT3B Hack w/ Dual ESC Control - YouTube

otherwise could someone do a couple of pretty pics and some explanation?

Looking at getting a new TX and was hopeing this might fit the bill, otherwise im getting a 4pl.

Looks like Horizon had enough complaints about the lack of MOA programming. https://www.facebook.com/HorizonHobb...ocation=stream New software update so you can program dig

[BEELZEBOB]

yeah.

I have always used spektrum. Dx3r, DX7 Dx8....

I just bought a Futaba.

I will never buy spektrum again.

I won't bash them as I use a Spektrum module in my Futaba 3pks. I like the fact that they have evolved and made the firmware update available as a download for their product. It seems to make sense that they can grow as the demand comes. It really shows that we are not ignored at Horizon.

I hope my radio doesn't wear out anytime soon but if it does, this radio or in the future "r" format will get my nod.

I don't like reviving an old thread but I keep running into one road block after another. I bought a DX4S for my scale rigs, and now I am into MOA. I cannot figure out how to properly set up the radio for dual dig and proportional. Can anyone help me out?

Did you do the software update?
