Spektrum DX5 Pro 2.4GHz Radio Transmitter

There is no shortage of upgrades that you can make to your radio-controlled car, truck, boat, or aircraft. While you might focus solely on the vehicle itself, don't forget about the gear that makes it go; the radio transmitter.

Spektrum has introduced their latest pistol-grip style, 2.4GHz transmitter, the DX5 Pro. This radio is loaded with features that will give you greater control over your R/C car, truck, or boat and allow you to tap into some helpful information as you drive.

There are five preset driving modes included in the DX5 Pro which range from beginner to full-out power. Depending on the vehicle type and the conditions in which your driving, you can select the mode that best suits your needs. These presets will adjust the throttle, steering, braking, and (if-equipped) AVC settings to the selected vehicle type, helping you get the most fun out of your machine.

The large display screen atop the Spektrum DX5 Pro gives you a full view of multiple settings and adjustments that can be made on the fly. With a 250-model memory capacity, you can have a full fleet of radio-controlled vehicles programmed into this single controller, each with their own set of adjustments.

If you're particular about the feel of your controller, the DX5 Pro features a number of adjustments for not only the steering wheel (position, grip, wheel size) but the throttle trigger as well (tension and position).
