Dis is something for me since Iam Spektrum lover from day one. I have now 160 birds in my DX9 and I love it. But would sure love to set another 160 birds in new NX10. Oh yeah. Big salute to all RC lovers here from Pilot Robert Slovenia.
Hey pilot Robert from Slovenia. Both of my Grandparents came from Novo Mesto in 1899 and settled in Indianapolis Indiana. Both of my Parents were Slovene.
Finally. NX line-up makes sense to me since the iX series - IMHO - looks like a flight in the wrong direction. I don't want radios looking like smartphones or smart fridges. Good to see Spektrum back in command and correcting the course. And by the way, I love the new features. Simplicity sometimes means much more than tons of garbage UX.
My Student pilot received this radio two weeks ago. The A switch is labeled as B. The B switch has no label. I was setting up switches and could not figure out why it didn't work until I referenced the manual. I'm sure a bunch of these radios were mislabeled from the factory. Happy Flying
Are this nx series radios system compatibility with old spektrum dsmx receivers/remote satellites..? If yes considering to purchase the NX10 once available in Australia...
I purchased the NX8 transmitter several months ago, and I love it, except for one item. When attempting to adjust a setting, the red screen appears, and the numbers or letters in the red area are next to impossible to read in bright sunlight! I have tried the several options but cannot get away from the red screen. Is there a method of removing the red screen in these circumstances? PS. The tutorials are great! Thank you.
@@shelbyseelbach9568 I'm new to the hobby and only have a couple of cheap RTF transmitters. The cost of a new Specktrum 6 or 8 channel radio is more than what I want to pay. Maybe with these new radios folks will sell their DX radios in the process of upgrading?
@@BillKisel I would say you are correct. I’ll be selling my DX9 when I receive my NX10. I also believe that, yes, they are discontinuing the DX series.
Oh great. Just got a new DX9 and was about to do the crossfire mod. If I had known the nx series was coming out with a serial port I would have got this one.
I would rather have the NX8, if you can manage to return the DX8. The change in gimbal technology alone is worth it, and the wifi and color screen are great upgrades too.
These radios look pretty nice. The one Zonk I have with them is the scroll wheel. After some time the scroll wheel will get sticky and start to mess up like with my DX9.
As an Ix 12 owner the nx lineup looks pretty nice, I might consider the nx 6 as my any day user and use my Ix 12 occasionally. To all my Ix 20 Ix 12 users. The nx lineup would make a great second radio
So if I buy a used spektrum nx, will I still be able to get updates? I mean after it’s been sold a couple times down the road who knows if it’s registered or not? Does it become a brick at that point? Or guess I could pay a lot less for a complex radiomaster and take a computer course.
You can register and update any used transmitter that has been unregistered by the seller. Or, if the seller did not unregister it, you can contact us and with proof of purchase we can help you register it.
@@mixedsignalsfpv9822 Yeah I would but I'm kind of committed to Spectrum at this point. I think I'm In Too Deep as far as the number of receivers I already own. Also I like Spectrum I'm happy with their products
@@mixedsignalsfpv9822 how does the build quality compare ? I'm currently using a first gen dx8 and looking for a upgrade the tx16s looks promising, but I can't find reviews from plane pilots

Cool! I've been using the DX7S, since 2011; & I'm in the market for an upgrade. I was originally considering one of the iX series transmitters, but granted the overwhelmingly negative reviews, I may reconsider my options & give one of these new NX radios a once over.
@ZZ Cat, I bought a DX7s about 2013 and I'm still using it, I was highly disappointed after I started setting up the programming to one of my planes, it only had one 3 way switch, but made it work anyhow. My son is stationed in Germany with the US Army and he bought a DX7 G2 radio that had all 3 position toggle switches while in Germany for my Christmas present and he nor myself didn't know the TX module in the EU Spektrum models don't have near the modulating power the U.S. Spektrum models have, when my neighbor has the home burglar alarm on, I cannot fly using the EU model tx, but the alarm doesn't interfere with my U.S. model DX7s whatsoever because it's modulating more power, the alarm system works with the 2.4GHz frequency. So now I'm looking to upgrade with at least a DX8 G2 or more made in the USA radio hopefully within the next three months.
@@alanwylie8960 Yea, I'm in New Zealand & I'm way out in farm country. In the years that I've had my DX7S, I've never had any issues with it whatsoever. The only issue I have with it now, is the LCD losing its picture. Other than that, it still works. Though, the issue you are referring to, it sounds to me like what's called "2.4 GHz saturation". That comes about, with too many wireless devices (WiFi, Bluetooth etc) using the 2.4 GHz band at the same time as the radio, which leaves very little wiggle-room for the frequency hopping algorithms to use; & it usually ends up with the receiver going into failsafe mode, among a myriad of other issues.
I have an ix12 and love it, AND JUST BOUGHT A DX9 FOR DAILY BEATER STATUS!! THEN THIS VIDEO DROPS LIKE A WEEK LATER!! LOL. damn.. looks great spektrum!! Good job! I guess I will wait on the NX12 touch screen version instead haha. (If it ever exists)
So do you feel the Android operating system was a mistake from the beginning? Despite the downfall of that the ix12 is still a good radio and I am happy with it. I'm assuming the NX10 will have a new smart 10 channel receiver on the way being that you discontinue the ar9350.
No, actually. We are still developing the android based radios. The problem is that to hit the price point people expect from a 6-10 channel radio, android interface/software is out of the question.
@@HorizonHobbyProducts I had the ix12 for 6 months, and even as someone proficient in html it was horrible to program, sold it at a massive loss along with most ix12 owners. Hopefully the NX10 sticks with the dx9 style programming and turns on in less than 2 centuries - if so - SOLD!

@@miksterr 12 has very mixed reviews, as much as I want to buy it id prefer not to gamble on the head aches. This line uses their proprietary system which many are comfortable with.
@@camomaster6316 It's actually very easy to do! You "Export All Models" from your DX8 to the SD card, then load the SD card into the NX transmitter and "Import All Models". The more models you have the longer it takes, but we just transferred 60 models in about 10 minutes!
@@camomaster6316 i upgraded from the gen 1 silver DX8 to the iX 12. Last time I tried transferring was from an iX12 --> iX20 at work. Doesn't recognize the storage device properly
The difference between the DX6i and Gen 2 DX6 is huge! I would say it's more worth than the jump to the NX6 unless you're super interested in telemetry
Can I load my Models onto the SD card on my DX8G2 and upload them into the NX10? I hate the idea of having to reprogram each and every model. I too just recently bought the DX8G2, but I ran into an issue where I could really use 10 channels... Which I never thought I would.
Yes! Be sure to update your DX8G2 to the latest software first (to ensure all the model files are fully NX compatible...otherwise the trims will not transfer correctly), then insert the SD card. Use the "Export All Models" function, then remove the SD card, install the card into the NX and use the "Import All Models" function. You'll need to rebind the models to the NX10, but other than that everything will work just like it does on your DX8G2 now! Also, the NX10 requires a micro SD card versus the standard SD card for the DX series transmitters required. Using a micro SD card with the standard adapter works perfectly for this!
You would provide your own SAFE Rx into it, and program it via the Tx if it's the newer (AR637 and similar series) SRXL2 technology or via a PC and SPM3065 cable if it's the older AR636 AS3X/SAFE and similar Rxs.
You need to bring back a 12 channel unit. You should have recalled all the ix-12 transmitters. Now lots of us are stuck with very expensive boat anchors
There continue to be thousands of iX12 in use worldwide without any issues! No need for a recall, and now the iX14 is available for those who need more channels and prefer a faster processer :)
@@HorizonHobbyProducts I just don't have $1,300 Canadian. It took me over a year to save up for the ix12.

I don't see how this product series can be in any way competitive in a market flooded with cheap OpenTX multiprotocol radios. The price of Spektrum radios has skyrocketed here in the UK where even a (only!) 6 channel unit costs nearly double the far more feature rich Radiomaster TX16S. It's 2020 Horizon Hobby, you could at least add a module bay on the back. You couldn't even spec USB-C.
Exactly. I have an RMTX16s and it has far more capability/features than these new releases. But you do have to learn otx. Big benefit to the spektrum captive eco-system is it all plays together easily.
These will sell many times over those Radiomaster ones. They are marketed at different people than you - easy. Just like when the Taranis came, a lot bought them, many liked the system and many didn’t and kept with their Spektrum, Futaba etc. Frsky, Radiomaster are much more open, flexyetc NO argument however not everyone wants or needs it.
I got burnt on ix12 with short battery life, lacking in loading between models, slow respond (Android OS), low volume alert (even 100% volume, you cannt hear anything in the club with Ntiro / Gas flyers) . How does the new NX series compare with ix12
@@HorizonHobbyProducts Is the NX series contains dual diversity antenna or its only one antenna? How is it RF performance compare with the DX9 or 18 series. Does it handle well in indoor flying. We found ix12 ix20 does not handle well if multiple Spektrum flyers in the same gym / dome. DX series are fine. Flyers with ix12 can lose signal totally at indoor
Wow these are nice but I am very fortunate I bought my DX8 Gen 2 when they were reasonable. $269 I think. $369 for a new 8 channel is a little steep. Everyone has to make $ but don't price yourselves out of the hobby. There are so many open tx radios now for half the price. I do love the easy bnf model setup on these but for that price I can program my models the old fashioned way. But nice job on the product!
Exactly, I've been wanting to buy the DX8 G2, but everywhere I've looked they're out of stock until Dec 2020 and I figure they'll probably jump $100 in price when back in stock, and when you're on a fixed income, SSD, your money will only go so far, so now I've been looking at the FrSky and the Radio master transmitters, I've owned nothing but Spektrum radios (3), since I jumped into this Hobby about 8 years ago and I'm wanting to upgrade to at least a 8 channel radio, preferably Spektrum, but I'm gonna hold off for two or three months and see what happens.

They are! Just be sure to update the DX9 to the latest version firmware before exporting the models to the SD card and importing them into the NX transmitter (otherwise all of the model files/settings will transfer, but the trims won't...after updating the DX9 to the latest version firmware the trims will also transfer!).
There's no reason for a manufacturer to limit the channels to 6 or 8 only other than squeezing more money out of its customers' pockets. I'll only consider Spektrum the day they release a 16-channel OpenTX radio in the NX10 or similar housing at a $200-$250 price point. The build quality is there.
Too many openTX in the market. Frsky, radiomaster, Jumper, etc. They cant compete with them for the price point. You pay horizon hobby more for their R&D and aftermarket service. Similar case like apple&android smarphones
How do you justify spending $500 for a 10 channel radio that has less features than a 16 channel radio for a third of the price from companies like Radiomaster? Keep pricing your products like this and you're going to price yourself out of business.
Not even close. I agree with you 100 percent but Spectrum is a giant. Pretty much everyone I know has one simply for the safe and BNF. We can't afford to lose the aircraft nor have the time for complicated setup. It's just easy with these guys and walking into a store to get a SAFE aircraft is a breeze. I know the internet would have you believe it's overpriced junk but for the majority, no it's not.
@@PepperPete11 I would add that on the internet this day is mostly overpriced junk without support and spare parts, cost almost the same as spektrum or e-flite etc. You have to compare all sides. This looks like a good product and HH will take care for it.
While the Spektrum radios are good, the reality is they are priced about 60% to HIGH, especially when compared to other name brands! I m no awake and looking to go to TX or other. It was the same thinking that put netflix into the top and block buster video out of business, GREED!
Poor after sales service. My DXe trims stopped working after using the Bluetooth adapter.This is a common problem and Spektrum should solve the problem. I now use Open Tx and will NEVER look at a Spektrum again.
Bought the QQ, then the G2 DX18 comes out, get that then the DX20 comes out, they discontinued that and the IX comes out, now the NX... Makes me seriously consider switching brands altogether 🤦🏻♂️
Back ordered like everything else at horizon, then it will be discontinued in a year , oh yeah good luck trying to talk to a live person customer service has gone way down hill at horizon
I live in the EU and se have the dumb law that dsm2 isn't allowed that's just terrific. Everyone who has older models with dsm2 can't upgrade because of that law stupidedty at the heights level if u ask me
$370 for a 6 (7 channel...oooooohh), what the hell??? Really?? Nope, nope nope!!! You guys are smoking crack with that price! There are 16 channel radios for under 200!!! Get with the times!!! 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Ya they are getting pretty greedy with everything. HH use to be great and competitive but there are so many open tx radios out there for under half the price. I love my dx8 gen 2 but luckily I bought it before they raised the prices on them.
It's 300 for just the 6 channel radio and it's Wi-Fi with a color screen with many other options..... I think it's reasonable... 350 for the 8 Channel.

@@HorizonHobbyProducts oh, good to know. I'll have to do it eventually
@@camomaster6316 i upgraded from the gen 1 silver DX8 to the iX 12. Last time I tried transferring was from an iX12 --> iX20 at work. Doesn't recognize the storage device properly
Recently picked up a DX6 gen 2 and really like it. I could see getting a NX 8 or 10 down the road for aircraft needing more channels.
The difference between the DX6i and Gen 2 DX6 is huge! I would say it's more worth than the jump to the NX6 unless you're super interested in telemetry
Can I load my Models onto the SD card on my DX8G2 and upload them into the NX10? I hate the idea of having to reprogram each and every model. I too just recently bought the DX8G2, but I ran into an issue where I could really use 10 channels... Which I never thought I would.
Yes! Be sure to update your DX8G2 to the latest software first (to ensure all the model files are fully NX compatible...otherwise the trims will not transfer correctly), then insert the SD card. Use the "Export All Models" function, then remove the SD card, install the card into the NX and use the "Import All Models" function. You'll need to rebind the models to the NX10, but other than that everything will work just like it does on your DX8G2 now! Also, the NX10 requires a micro SD card versus the standard SD card for the DX series transmitters required. Using a micro SD card with the standard adapter works perfectly for this!
@@HorizonHobbyProducts thank you!!
@@bbeach117 You're welcome! Also, NX10s start shipping in the US tomorrow!!
So if it’s a pnp and you provide your own transmitter, you can enable safe into it?
You would provide your own SAFE Rx into it, and program it via the Tx if it's the newer (AR637 and similar series) SRXL2 technology or via a PC and SPM3065 cable if it's the older AR636 AS3X/SAFE and similar Rxs.
will the NX radios work with both receiver types , DSMX and DSM2, ?
In the USA yes they will work with both. IN the EU they are DSMX only.
You need to bring back a 12 channel unit. You should have recalled all the ix-12 transmitters. Now lots of us are stuck with very expensive boat anchors
There continue to be thousands of iX12 in use worldwide without any issues! No need for a recall, and now the iX14 is available for those who need more channels and prefer a faster processer :)
@@HorizonHobbyProducts I just don't have $1,300 Canadian. It took me over a year to save up for the ix12. I'm on disability pension now it's going to have to save up for another year to fly my airplanes. I spent more time programming my airplanes in my transmitter than actually did flying most of them I haven't even flown yet and now I got a program all over again

When will a NX14 radio be made
What file extension will this be? .SPM ? .ISPM?
I’m fine with my frsky! ✌️
There all good just some like telemetry and the simplicity
Is the losi 8ight t 3.0 nitro discontinued
I don't see how this product series can be in any way competitive in a market flooded with cheap OpenTX multiprotocol radios. The price of Spektrum radios has skyrocketed here in the UK where even a (only!) 6 channel unit costs nearly double the far more feature rich Radiomaster TX16S. It's 2020 Horizon Hobby, you could at least add a module bay on the back. You couldn't even spec USB-C.
Exactly. I have an RMTX16s and it has far more capability/features than these new releases. But you do have to learn otx. Big benefit to the spektrum captive eco-system is it all plays together easily.
These will sell many times over those Radiomaster ones. They are marketed at different people than you - easy. Just like when the Taranis came, a lot bought them, many liked the system and many didn’t and kept with their Spektrum, Futaba etc. Frsky, Radiomaster are much more open, flexyetc NO argument however not everyone wants or needs it.
i need one of those like now
Registration? Did we just get sold out to the FAA?
Very funny! They are referring to your registering your product with Spektrum for your software updates, warranty,etc.
I got burnt on ix12 with short battery life, lacking in loading between models, slow respond (Android OS), low volume alert (even 100% volume, you cannt hear anything in the club with Ntiro / Gas flyers) . How does the new NX series compare with ix12
This is not an android based radio.
@@HorizonHobbyProducts Is the NX series contains dual diversity antenna or its only one antenna? How is it RF performance compare with the DX9 or 18 series. Does it handle well in indoor flying. We found ix12 ix20 does not handle well if multiple Spektrum flyers in the same gym / dome. DX series are fine. Flyers with ix12 can lose signal totally at indoor
No usb c?
Wow these are nice but I am very fortunate I bought my DX8 Gen 2 when they were reasonable. $269 I think. $369 for a new 8 channel is a little steep. Everyone has to make $ but don't price yourselves out of the hobby. There are so many open tx radios now for half the price. I do love the easy bnf model setup on these but for that price I can program my models the old fashioned way. But nice job on the product!
Exactly, I've been wanting to buy the DX8 G2, but everywhere I've looked they're out of stock until Dec 2020 and I figure they'll probably jump $100 in price when back in stock, and when you're on a fixed income, SSD, your money will only go so far, so now I've been looking at the FrSky and the Radio master transmitters, I've owned nothing but Spektrum radios (3), since I jumped into this Hobby about 8 years ago and I'm wanting to upgrade to at least a 8 channel radio, preferably Spektrum, but I'm gonna hold off for two or three months and see what happens.
Really HH? You can’t take criticism of your products so you’re deleting comments now. SMH
I’m happy with my IX-12 now but maybe in the future.
Same here! Mine is the special edition Blue one! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Yeah I saw that one but I just went with the black one.
@@Brian_Christensen07RC I know it was kind of weird to pay the extra charge for just a different color, but it's already done, and I like it!... 😁 Al my friends have the black one and I wanted mine to be different, lol😁😁😁😁😁 Have a great day my friend! Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🌵😷🇵🇷
@@ricardopr54 yeah I had just enough to get the black one and I needed an upgrade bad. People will trash the IX-12 but if you don’t shut it off at the field and put it in sleep mode you’ll be good. Have a great day yourself!
Wow you have an Ix 12? It’s basically a phone lol
Does anyone know if the DX9 programming files are compatible with the any of the NX transmitters?
They are! Just be sure to update the DX9 to the latest version firmware before exporting the models to the SD card and importing them into the NX transmitter (otherwise all of the model files/settings will transfer, but the trims won't...after updating the DX9 to the latest version firmware the trims will also transfer!).
@@HorizonHobbyProducts
Okay thanks, just did an update a couple weeks ago so should be good to go.
That is the right way. Who the f... need expensive touchscreen? Congratulation HH.
1s lipo battery? 4.2 volts at most gonna be enough?
Both the iX12 and iX20 use a 1s battery so it must work ok.
@@soar-eyes thanks for info Stan!
Lithium ion, not LiPo.
Why not an 18?
Looks pretty good and it's way cheaper than a inspire or P4P RC
Looks very nice 👌👍
There's no reason for a manufacturer to limit the channels to 6 or 8 only other than squeezing more money out of its customers' pockets. I'll only consider Spektrum the day they release a 16-channel OpenTX radio in the NX10 or similar housing at a $200-$250 price point. The build quality is there.
Too many openTX in the market. Frsky, radiomaster, Jumper, etc. They cant compete with them for the price point. You pay horizon hobby more for their R&D and aftermarket service. Similar case like apple&android smarphones
I would switch from ix12 if you kept touch screen and ditched android operating system. Nice looking radios though!
The android is the tou, it needs that computer.
Interesting! I like it
Great! I'm glad I just bought a DX8 2 weeks ago. SMH
How do you justify spending $500 for a 10 channel radio that has less features than a 16 channel radio for a third of the price from companies like Radiomaster? Keep pricing your products like this and you're going to price yourself out of business.
Not likely
Not even close. I agree with you 100 percent but Spectrum is a giant. Pretty much everyone I know has one simply for the safe and BNF. We can't afford to lose the aircraft nor have the time for complicated setup. It's just easy with these guys and walking into a store to get a SAFE aircraft is a breeze. I know the internet would have you believe it's overpriced junk but for the majority, no it's not.
@@PepperPete11 I would add that on the internet this day is mostly overpriced junk without support and spare parts, cost almost the same as spektrum or e-flite etc. You have to compare all sides. This looks like a good product and HH will take care for it.
While the Spektrum radios are good, the reality is they are priced about 60% to HIGH, especially when compared to other name brands! I m no awake and looking to go to TX or other. It was the same thinking that put netflix into the top and block buster video out of business, GREED!
Thats just like asking how you pay 1800 for a philip plien Tshirt when you can get Nike for 20 bucks.
I was was always thinking when you wanna make the Antanas calaplsing
Futaba is now should do something to win back the market.
Poor after sales service. My DXe trims stopped working after using the Bluetooth adapter.This is a common problem and Spektrum should solve the problem. I now use Open Tx and will NEVER look at a Spektrum again.
Where is the large color screen? No wonder more and more competitors are getting your business.
Bought the QQ, then the G2 DX18 comes out, get that then the DX20 comes out, they discontinued that and the IX comes out, now the NX... Makes me seriously consider switching brands altogether 🤦🏻♂️
Back ordered like everything else at horizon, then it will be discontinued in a year , oh yeah good luck trying to talk to a live person customer service has gone way down hill at horizon
rubbish mate, the dx9 is 7 years old. the dx6 nearly the same, they do notching that often - like phones etc it is relatively slow.
Things have changed at Horizon and not for the better
Buenas emisoras saludos 🛩
Another overpriced product from Horizon full of useless features most people will never use or need.
Actually lot of features are very cool and useful, come with the price.
Useless features YOU will never use or need, don't bad mouth a product and try and speak for everyone
I live in the EU and se have the dumb law that dsm2 isn't allowed that's just terrific. Everyone who has older models with dsm2 can't upgrade because of that law stupidedty at the heights level if u ask me

$370 for a 6 (7 channel...oooooohh), what the hell??? Really?? Nope, nope nope!!! You guys are smoking crack with that price! There are 16 channel radios for under 200!!! Get with the times!!! 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Ya they are getting pretty greedy with everything. HH use to be great and competitive but there are so many open tx radios out there for under half the price. I love my dx8 gen 2 but luckily I bought it before they raised the prices on them.
