The Spektrum DX18 is a re-release of the original DX18 and is now available with 250-model memory and the latest AirWare programming technology. The Spektrum DX18 offers all the programming features an expert pilot could want, The intuitive Simple Scroll interface makes navigating menus and changing settings as simple as roll and click, it’s almost like using a mouse!

You can max out your functions with an X-Plus channel expansion module, just plug the module into the receiver, bind it and assign the extra 8 channels to any function desired.

Notable features that stand out on the Spektrum DX18 include the built-in telemetry with vibration alerts, throttle start or switch start timer, 11ms frame rate, 2048 resolution on a large LCD screen. The large LCD screen is amazing on the Spektrum DX18 but I would be adding a screen protector to help avoid a costly display break! 

The Spektrum DX18 uses the same software platform as the DX6 Gen 2, DX7 Gen 2, DX9 and DX18 Gen 2, so you can share model setups with owners of those transmitters as well.

Remember to register your Spektrum DX18 and you will receive alerts whenever Spektrum AirWare software updates are available.
