Spektrum NX10 FIRST LOOK and comparison! 

Nice. I haven't been flying for too long. I have been in this for about 10 years. Started with a dx6i when it was being phased out, got it with a simulator I bought when they included a transmitter worth something more than just the simulator which was nice. I have a dx6 as well now. I will be upgrading to an NX transmitter soon. Anyway, what slide it took for the worst in price and what they give you, but the advancements in the tech and safe operation is absolutely amazing. I remember all the BNF models gave you everything except the transmitter. Now you don't get a battery anymore. which kinda sucks. unless its a preorder special. The most recent being the draco if bought during pre release you could have opted for a battery as well for about the price of just the BNF model now. I believe it was 629 with the batt. The fact most have telemetry built in is an amazing addition. I still am happy I got in when I did because I have a ton of models they are discontinued and they are excellent planes, some not so much. When you see a close out price for about the half the price of the original release price, its an amazing deal.

Thanks!!! Glad you enjoyed the video

@@StevesRC Just to follow up- I went ahead and placed a NX10 on pre-order. Looking forward to getting ahold of this one. :-).

I just subbed it too. Just getting back in the hobby after 14 years. Have a deposit on the NX10..

Thanks dude!!

You are correct.

i agree,i sold the ix12 for the nx10, ix12 is to slow for me ,and battery life is terrible

Just got my NX10 today and the first thing I noticed was how crappy the voice speaker is compared to my DX9 BE. It actually made me laugh !

@@mangzrc I agree. I've been waiting for a sale on this radio and they just had it for $100 off so I got one. It feels very cheap next to the DX9 and the speaker sucks. It actually feels like a downgrade. Not real happy... :-(

@@joemusto5674 Well I have continued to use mine over the last 2 years since I made that comment and it honestly has been a good radio, I still use my DX9 along side it. Don’t feel bad, it’s a good radio.

was more or less a design choice to allow easier transport. Breakage was a thing to some degree...

@Kris Kross who is then?

U need to adjust your esc end points, I think

20 definitely has hall effect. from the Spektrumrc site: Hall-effect sensor, quad-bearing gimbals. I made a little error on that information and corrected in the video notes. Turns out those are factory loaded on the SD card for now and might not be updated on future updates off the bat. I'll ask the team what the chances are on having that in future IX updates as well.

@@StevesRC I have been waiting for my ix 20 back-ordered since January. For the price, the Model import feature update should be a #1 priority.

Pretty darn close to the Dx series.

I have the JR X9503 and I love it, but it seems to be obsolete at this point even if it is still in like new condition. HH doesn't even support it anymore.

Thanks. Amazon. Type in magnetic micro usb. Get an oval shaped one.

Live telem. 2 2-positions.

Unfortunately, the Dev team confirmed its 2.4 only.

Yes however only the ten can provide power to the crossfire. The six and eight would require external power for your crossfire.

That I'm not sure but since we don't sell them separately, its not likely its really an option at this time.

@@StevesRC Thanks Steve. Keep up the great work!

You can choose in the menus which "model" to place the file on.. It won't overwrite unless you tell it to.

Just export to SD and bring it over. Should be easy with a .SPM. I can make a video if needed.

yes

NX6 has microSD. I'm guessing the NX10 is also microSD but you slould be able to use a MicroSD to SD adapter to export on your DX9 and then use the MicroSD to import on the NX10.

the DX6i is a dinosaur at this point. I would highly recommend the upgrade :)

no problem It would work just fine as long as DX G2 and IX

What do you mean by that?

@@StevesRC normally it’s not good to release the sticks and let them chatter, but is that less harmful to the hall effect gimbals?

@@charliemarchiony7914 Ah gotcha. Yes you are correct. Either way, I have a bad habit of doing this but one should avoid it...

That chromed material is near impossible to keep clean though lol

Never mind the chrome I dont see any real reason to upgrade..they said they will discontinue my dx9blk but they will still support it

You can certainly get them "floppy" if you want them that way. I will say the springs in general are more tight than the DX9 in my opinion. There are ways to "mod" that, but out of the box, no, maybe not as light.

I guess it depends on how many channels you need. I’m going to guess you’re referring to the motion RC jet?

Prepare to have your mind blown. Look up the Radiomaster TX16S. 16 channels and will bind to a lot more then just Spektrum. The Spektrum ecosystem is great but it is wildly expensive. I too got back into RC after about 15 years out and I was stunned at how affordable and versatile radios are now. I personally got an FrSky X9D+ 4 years ago that was flawless. Then moved to a TeamBlackSheep Tango 2.

@@zymurgyjwt Everything you said about RM TC16S is pretty much correct but I'm unsure about investing in an new unproven (long term) transmitter when flying expensive models. The other thing is that the handset quality may not match the software side of things and while OTX is a powerful operating system, it has a big learning curve. In the end, you generally get what you pay for.

I use a DX6 gen 3 which I bought after years with Taranis. A lovely simple easy to understand radio, after all at 73 I don't have time to learn how to be a computer programmer!

@@kevinlane That’s the way I feel. Just don’t know I should go with the dx8 gen 2 or the new nx 8 that’s coming out. I fearful the nx will have some bugs at first everything usually does.

@@ricardoimpagliozza4056 I would wait for the reviews as I'm unsure whether the NX series will be up the the build quality of say the DX9. The NX 10 sounds closer with hall sensor gimbals though.

if set up correctly -----i use it as a sound control

No issues there mate

Yes. The Spektrum bars light up and there is a lightning bolt icon on the faceplate

The best radio is the one you can afford with the most channels!

Spekrum dx9 or spekrum dx18 ?

sd card!

@@Iepyro24 Can i just import 1 or 2?

@@Iepyro24 Can i input just 1 or 2?

Pretty much? Honestly the NX8 is really the king of “meeting all bnf requirements” but the 6 does well. You only run into issues when you are doing flaps and gear and safe select, etc.

Oops I didn’t mean to remove your last reply, but yes it would work for that scenario. You may just want more in the future so the 8 is best

Thank you. That helps clear it up for me

Of course

Different hardware. No reason to worry. We are running the 12 and the 20 on 1s.

Not something I can answer just yet! Stay tuned :)

Typically folks use them for braking on larger aircraft or sometimes for increasing or decreasing things like gyro gains.

thats why i sold my ix12 for a nx10,also battery life..ix12 was a great mistake.

i was going to ask this same question.

Yes you can

www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071WC127Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This is what I bought.

Mainly the channel differences and Hall-Effect Gimbals.

The feel and fit / finish doesn't feel the same.

I've not had any issues!

@@StevesRC is it so slow as the ix12?battery life is terrible..same battery

Just missing the channels and Hall effect gimbals :)

Its not actually. Its just the angle. Very similar case sizes.

@@StevesRC thanks....

We already do. You can even use the IX20 battery in this radio.

@@StevesRC 3.7V 2000 mAh 1S Lithium Ion Transmitter Battery is not a lipo

10,500mAh Li-Ion Transmitter Battery Pac li-Ion is not a lipo right ??

@@edschmitt3645 Li-Ion, yes.

Yep. My fault. I covered it in comments but you’re 100 % right!

@@StevesRC sorry about that. I didn't even bother to look.

It’s certainly a better interface, gimbals feel great too. The dx9 is a solid machine but this is next generation. I’d say if you’re looking for an upgrade, go for it!

@@StevesRC Thank you so much for detailed infomation. 🙏 Well, I've never used telemetry. What kind of receiver should I use with telemetry if I am going to install from scratch? If I'm not mistaken in the past, it was enough to attach a satellite antenna to the fbl unit. The TM1000 was also used for telemetry. What about now?

Depends on the rx but honestly the 637t is an amazing piece of kit and offers smart telemetry when paired with a spektrum avian ESC and Smart battery. You also get SAFE and AS3X if needed too.

@@StevesRC Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏

I have to sadly agree with this. It feels cheap and their recent radios just not satisfying. The nx10 does feel like it comes with a walmart plane😣

They do have a bit of a cheap appearance, pretty disappointing there but i suppose it's the reliability we buy them for, its certainly not for the high price.

@@douglasshackett8747 and it rattles like there's something fallen off inside. With all the issues from esc twitching, blinking rx, wifi wont' work, cheap feel, parts fallen off inside, even with new features, there's no way that's a 500 dollars radio. The dx9, dx8 and the ix feel way way better and not CHEAP. They really need to get their act together with these cheap releases.

Because the IX12 already exists. Perhaps in the future :)

Wifi is for updates. On either the nx or the ix you aren’t going to have to worry about that. Funny, but even the ix system is not connected to the RF system. Even if android crashed, your model won’t.

@@StevesRC steve you rock and i am sorry to be condescending in my comments , I LOVE HORIZON HOBBY AND SPEKTRUM . thank you for all the things you give us i just received a dx8 but sending it back to trade up for a dx9 blk edition . the hall sensor gimbals of the ten has me reconsidering everything . would there ever be a need to upgrade the 1 s battery in the newer models ?

@@antoineozaneaux6881 Certainly could upgrade to the larger battery to get more life, but the battery life from what I've seen is very impressive to begin with. Also, no worries at all!

Minus the ease of use, customer support and compatibility with Spektrum's SMART ecosystem. To each their own. And yes, the 8 does not have Hall-Effect. I'm not sure I said that though.

@@StevesRC they are selling new BNF with smart lipo but no smart ESC so the smart lipo is useless...I sent DX9 in for repair($50) charge led was out. They would not fix...fault was on them not me..what support.

@@ror-ys3qp Not true, the Smart Lipo has its own benefits not exclusive to the smart ESC. Also, Horizon is selling most of their BNF as Basic meaning there are no batteries included. They do offer promotional combos with smart batteries. The smart lipos give you data onboard that can be accessed by the charger and even the smart checker. You also get the auto-discharge which in my opinion is the single biggest reason for owning smart lipos regardless of their compatibility with smart ESCS.
