For a new generation
of UK racers and bashers who use steering
wheel transmitters rather than sticks the
DX3R represents the first opportunity to
use a Pro-level radio that natively utilises
Spektrum’s 2.4GHz DSM2 technology.
Moving up from a basic RTR radio to DX3R,
even with the original car, can see DSM2
improve responsiveness and reliability, but
if you’ve moved on to a more advanced
car or truck you’ll need a radio that
can match the car’s performance to
really advance. |

Racers all over the world
have been enjoying the advantages that Spektrum
DSM has brought to help them win World class
titles for some years now, so with input
and help from some of the top of this group
the engineers at Spektrum have produced the
first of this new generation steering wheel
radio: DX3R.
DSM2 technology is the
underpinning of DX3R and with it you’ll
get faster response time than any other
radio system available, including the advanced
PPM sets and even 2.4GHz module based systems.
There’s no need to worry about crystals
of course and no more interference, either
peer or mechanically induced. DX3R takes
care of frequency choice and 2.4Ghz is
way above mechanical RF noise, and in a
gas car with all that metal and carbon
thrashing around that can be a real problem
saver. |

All the new technology
is of course great, but you have to interact
with the radio, possibly hold it for a good
part of the day, so the ergonomics play a
crucial roll too in becoming comfortable
with the transmitter and optimising the performance
that it, and you combined can obtain.
A lot of work has gone into the shape
of DX3R, its balance, feel and its ability
to interact with the driver. Sit it nose
down when you’re in the pits; steering
wheels are always so unstable and top-heavy
when they sitting on the pit table. It’s
comfortable to hold; the shape and materials
for the grip owe their origins a lot to
power tools. It’s light; because
DSM2 needs less power than other radios
to attain the range you need it doesn’t
need so many batteries to power it. And
if you want it’s left-handed; just
a few minutes work can swing the controls
around so that left-handed drivers can
feel totally natural using it. |

Interaction extends beyond
the tactile level for DX3R with its advanced
software interface. An advanced array of pro-class
features can be called on to fine tune a race
car and wring out that last percent of performance,
and all accessed by a simple rolling selector
button. No need to remember a vast number of
button and jog wheel combinations, to navigate
just scroll through the menus using the roll
button and then click with it to select the
programming feature. It’s that easy,
you roll to scroll, press to select, roll to
adjust and press to store. The selection button
is positioned so that it is easily reached
and operated single handed while holding the
transmitter and the LCD is angled for easy
viewing.
That generously proportioned angled LCD screen
also lets you clearly see all that’s
going on while you’re programming DX3R.
When moving into features like breaking and
throttle curves this becomes acutely apparent
when viewing data graphically as you can clearly
view the changes you are making and assess
how they will affect performance. |

The DX3R has been paired up
with the new SR3100 DSM2 3-channel race receiver.
Weighing in at a miniscule 6 grams the SR3100
delivers all of the advantages of the superior
speed and precision of DSM2 technology. |
