DX8
 




The World’s Most Advanced 8-Channel




Superior Ergonomics. Made to Fit the Way You Fly.

 DX8
The DX8’s weight distribution and ergonomics have been optimised to fit the way you fly. The result is a sense of balance and comfort that perfectly complements the speed and precision of DSM2 technology.
Gimble Mechanics Completely New Gimble Mechanics
The DX8 is the first Spektrum radio to feature new gimble mechanics. Each gimble boasts the silky smooth precision of dual ball bearings on each axis. That’s four ball bearings per gimble. They also feature adjustable spring tension and control stick length so you can fine tune the control feel exactly the way you want it.

User Adjustable Mode
Configurations
The DX8 comes out of the box with a standard Mode 2 stick configuration. Its new software and gimble mechanics, however, make it possible for you to change the stick setup to Mode 1, Mode 3 or Mode 4 in minutes.

Comfort Grips

Soft, no-slip rubber grips on the back and sides of the transmitter case naturally conform to your hands and make long flights much more comfortable.

Smart Charge™ Global Charging System
Spektrum was the first to make frequency conflicts and interference a thing of the past. With the DX8’s new Smart Charge global charging system, Spektrum is first to make charging hassles a thing of the past, too.

This ingenious on-board charging system can be powered by any 12V power supply with a standard 4mm plug. That includes 12V power supplies from other radio manufacturers AND those that come with many household electronics. Smart Charge even detects the chemistry of the transmitter batteries you’re using (LiPo or Ni-MH) and automatically adjusts the charge current, rate and cutoff.

With the transmitter power turned off, plug the included charger into a wall outlet. Then plug the male charge plug into the charge jack. The blue LED on the front of the transmitter should illuminate. The charger charges at a rate of 200mA and a fully discharged battery requires a 10–12-hour charge time.
