This is awesome! Perfect timing as well. Glad these products are so capable! I have a DXs waiting on the shelf that I'm giving to my son tomorrow for his birthday. It came with an RTF. Now I know that the DXs is fully capable for him to use so that he can also advance a bit. I'll be starting him off with a Sport Cub S2 before I let him try the Habu or Valiant. Now there's no need to give him a more advanced transmitter until I know he's committed to the hobby.
For some reason my trims being up n down don’t give me the cyan menu. They used to, they both work, I can open the trim menu. I used to be able to change to Heli and elevon mode, not anymore… haven’t updated it. Can’t find the cable anywhere and I don’t know enough about usb to make my own. I noticed a lot of people ask that on here get ignored too. Would be rad to wirelessly buddy box elevons, but maybe I’m asking too much outa a crap lil transmitter
At the ripe young age as myself 64 this stuff is way above me. Used to be a fun hobby.My hats off to the staff at HH they try .Smart Charger for a very dagerous batteries is good stuff.Im just to dumb and the technology is amazing.
I cannot update my radio because I cannot log in because the verification email is not going through. Is there a firmware file I can download to install manually?
That's what I got my dxs with. The The aeroscout. I have a dx8 now that had an event with a cat 😢and I have to send it in for repair.. I do have an NX8 on order will be here soon but if I want to fly my TrojanT-28 with this, I just don't want to crash it.. stay safe
This equipment should be included with all radios - I now have outrageous shipping charges to get these 2 little parts and I have to wait till late Aug because they are back ordered.
Honestly you guys should of had a system to update the controller with the wireless dongle to use the Eflite Sim on. Saves money and for us impatient people allot of headaches of a two hour drive total to a local hobby store that's the closest to us
Why is horizon still selling these transmitter with old firmware if it’s been outed for over a year? Bought the carbon cub limited edition and all the issues and crappy support I’m experiencing is making me look elsewhere for my next planes.I need to buy $40 for cables to fix your shortcomings.
Hey, I have a DXS and I have been dying to fly on a simulator... Been having a horrific time figuring out how to get this controller set up and linked with my PC so I can use it with a simulator. If I buy this USB data cable will I be able to use this to fly on the simulator?. Someone please reply and let me know Thx
So I have to buy a special adapter to connect the DXs to my computer? This cable did not come with the radio and I think it should have. Why not does it need a special connector? Why not use a micro USB to do the job? I already have that. Now I have to go to the website and buy that cable. This is absurd. Also, i seem to have to use the software updater to find out the serial number of the radio so I can register it. This is wack.
Cant update DXS transmitter. I have the SPMA3065 and SPMA3068 cables, current Spektrum programming software. Tried the blue wire up and blue wire down on transmitter interface...nothing. I am logged into my account. Says cable connected but nothing happens. Tried the connect button also-nothing My transmitter is a SHTK104x which needs a firmware update.
I bind my new UMX TurboTimber with my new DXs and the flaps went to full down and retracts if I press the bind button... If I release the bind button (6th channel) the flaps return back to full down...How can I fix this?
Having just a blade 230s v2 I tried to program my first generation DX7😁 Yes I still use it. I was struggling to set it up following the manual. Now I have just got hold of this radio and trying figure out how the hell your suppose to program it without a USB. So your saying all I have to do is set radio in Heli and bind with 230s v2 and I'm good to Go? What about safe mode that's not mentioned.
I can't buy the programming cable and dxs adapter, which are $30 altogether, from any hobby store, online or in-person, as they are both on endless backorder. Is there a way to make your own cable?
just figured it out. Plug in your plane battery, and it should enter bind mode. Then, on the transmitter, hold the bind button and push and hold the power button on. It should bind with the plane.
Hello spektrum friends! I have updated my DXS, set profile 1 for STS mini apprentice. When I turn the radio back on it always gives me the orange light, is this normal? once profile 1 for standard aircraft has been set and the radio then saves it, how should I behave with the model? what is meant by RE-BIND?
Good morning. I recently bought one aeroscout S2 RTF with an included DXS. I would like to get one more plane (preferrable in BNF) but since I don t want to spend more than 300 euros I thought I could use the DXS for other planes. From what I know, binding it to other models would require programming and tuning, which is pretty complicated from my point of view. I talked to some HPI racing professionals about this and they told me that all rc planes from horizon (with 6-7 channels) should work just fine only by inserting the battery and turning on the TX. Ideally, I would get a Habu SS 50mm but I am worried I will mess up the controls between the models so a umx timber would be also perfect. Please tell me if that is possible without any out-of-the-box tuning. Thank you in advance.
I have a hobbyzone apprentice that will not bind in safe mode. Tx is a dxe with a ar637t. It will bind and fly but no safe features work. If I plug the rudder in to channel 5 the switch is working but not for safe. What do I need to do. Emailed hobbyzone and was asked for proof of purchase!
I would like to buy this transmitter and use it with E-Flite Radian UMX. Now I am confused because I can't figure out if the transmitter is going to work without to require a firmware update or something related because of the serial number written on the back and because I can't figure out what I'm going to receive from the store. I had a look over Spektrum Programmer - Beta application in case that I will be required to use the USB cable SPMA3065, but I didn't saw anything related to DXs transmitter, but DXe, in the device list from add model window. How am I supposed to update the transmitter firmware with the supplied tools? How am I going to add a model which doesn't exists in the application? Could you advice? Thank you.
@@SpektrumRCvideosThanks for the quick response! I will have to update the radio I guess. Because it won't go into that mode for me.

Old RC flier, very new to this.

You may need to update the transmitter yes. If you buy one new now it will likely come with the update but that can depend on where and how old the stock is from the place of purchase.

@@SpektrumRCvideos Hi, I have a "new to me" DXS and after doing a factory reset, I was able to bind it to my brand new AR631 receiver. But the servos and throttle are not moving. The receiver LED is on steady. Is it 100% necessary to load the preset file for my plane (A-10 Thunderbolt) into the transmitter? I thought if I set it for basic airplane mode (LED 1 in your video) I would at least get some response from the receiver. Oddly I found it set to the #4 setting (elevon 2) and THEN I did the factory reset just to be sure. Then set to Mode 1 (basic aircraft) Please reply, thanks so much.
You use mode 2. Mode two is for anything that has retracts, flaps, or reverse th. Either the reverse thrust will be the "bind" button itself or the SAFE function
What does d switch do on a factory apprentice sts? I'm trying to figure out why it nose dove on take off in beginner mode and it's the only control I can't figure out
Panic yes, autoland is more of a function of the flight controller. Some BNF and RTF models have that as an option, but for the most part it is model specific.
How do I add Expo to my DXS? I have the SPMA3065 Programming cable and the USB serial cable. I was able to update the software using the windows Spektrum programmer app however everything else is grayed out. Whenever I connect it just flips to the software update menu?
I've just bought a RFT Aeroscout Plane, came with the dxs, I'm now looking at the blade 230s or 3390s BNF, will this remote work with either of these heli's? And also still have the use of safe on both models? Assuming all I'd have to do is change from the plane profile over to the one heli profile? I am intending on upgrading the remote at some point but not just yet if I can use the dxs for both models.
Hi Dan, IF your DXs is up to date, you will be able to switch to the Heli profile and use it to fly either of those helis. If you can hold the trimmers as described in this video to enter that menu, then it has the latest update. Otherwise you will want to follow the instructions to update the DXs. Hope that helps!
@@SpektrumRCvideos Hi, thank you for getting back to me. I tried the trim trick and it did nothing so I have just received the cables required to update it which I shall do now. Thanks again 👍
Great video. When I try to access the different flight modes i only get red flashing lights with a warning tone. Manuel says it’s a low batterie warning but the batteries are brand new. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Bound to? Yes. Recommended to fly, depends on the model. If you are referring the the E-flite model, it is not recommended due to the inability to adjust the dual rate settings.
I'VE JUST BOUGHT MY APPRENTICE STS1.5,,AN I CANT GET IT TO BIND IM A BEGINNER, ANYWAY, DOES MY DXS,,SUPPOSE TO HAVE SYION COLORS, BECAUSE ITS ORANGE,,THAT'S HELI, RIGHT??

I have a question about the SLT 6LP transmitter. A couple months ago I bought an RC plane and used the transmitter to bind it to my apprentice STOL. My remote is not like a DX6E and cannot bind to multiple RC planes, only. I’ll get to the point here, since I’ve bonded the transmitter to a previous rc plane can I bind it to a different one? I’ve tried binding it to a different aircraft and neither the aircraft or transmitter is responding. I would REALLY appreciate it if someone could help me out here. REALLY would appreciate it. (For more context the plane is a UMX timber bnf) Hope someone can reply ❤️
If I have the new Habu SS and I am trying to use safe select is there anyway to make it work without doing the update, the SPMA3068 adapter is just not available at this point
@@SpektrumRCvideos I’m still having no response to the levels of Safe or As3x I throttled up for 5 seconds flipped plane over and nothing, it’s stuck in expert mode, I found both adapters will let you know thanks
I am using this transmitter on the timber evo and I was wondering how to change the flap switch to the D switch because right now it defaulted to A, and I have to constantly hold A down ti keep the flaps up, any suggestions?
Can you do video on how to do a range test with the DXS Range Test 1. Power on the transmitter for at least five seconds with the throttle stick and trim low. 2. Press and hold switch A (Bind button) and toggle switch F four times within 10 seconds. The transmitter LEDs will flash orange and the alarm will sound. The system is in range check mode. Do not let go of the bind button until you are finished with the range check. IMPORTANT: You must hold the BIND/Panic button during the entire range check process. Releasing the button will exit the range check mode
Cool if I have the 230s rtf transmitter I should just have to bind the 330s right, it's already in heli mode ??...&&& For my planes I have the rtf transmitter from my Carbon Cub I can use for the planes until I get a programmable radio.??
Question- I have an larger Areoscout & lately I loose throttle right after takeoff & another time during flight. I put it in Range Test by holding panic button & flipping Rate switch up & down 4 times. No control or motor when past 10-15ft from plane. Could that be issue with AR631 receiver or ESC or Motor?
Are you only losing throttle? That would make me think that the battery is bad or not charged. Otherwise it could be a damaged antenna on the receiver causing reception issues.
Screw that radio .I had to buy it to get the 230s ..cause it's all he had ,just to get the battery and adapter..all was well til I tried to switch from acro to level and the damn heli went full stick right on its own..I then bound my Dx6E..I don't use panic mode. So I never program it into the Dx6E..just my flight modes and hold then idle up .put this radio back in the closet.just was wondering if there was any hope for it on other craft
Is the 7th channel active on the DXs. I got the Apprentice STS 1.5 RTF and the instruction don't say anything about being able to use it. I've set up Flaps and was planning on using Ch7 for them. The instructions has the Landing Assist plugged into Ch7 if I move it to channel 8 will the assist still work (the plane has the A3230 Spektrum 8Ch Controler) the number 1 position is open and #8 is also open. Any info would be helpful. Its maiden found itself in a tree for a week and a hard nose-first landing from 50' straight down, so I figured with all the repairs that had to be made, might as well cut in the flaps! Help!
Hi! Yes the 7th channel is active, but what switch it interacts with will depend on the profile (as seen in this video) also Port 8 is channel 7 and where you will want to plug in your flaps. Hope that helps!
@@SpektrumRCvideos Thank you very much for the reply and information! The Video didn't really say that I could do what I want with flaps on my Apprentice. So, I'm hoping it will work, (not doubting your expertise but I have bad luck with life matters like this) I just finished the upgrade yesterday, but annoyed that, as said in the vid needed an adaptor, which of course is out of stock, so had to make my own which worked fine! Thanks again
@@SpektrumRCvideos Upgraded the transmitter, changed to profile 2 as the video suggested, plugged a servo into port 8 as you said but didn't work, also tried port 7 again nothing. But switching to profile 2 canceled the motor cut safey switch and the safety pulse on the motor for the taxi to the take-off area. Not knowing what else it may have done, opted to go back to profile (1) one to reactivate the safeties. So, what could be the problem?
I got the DXS that came with the rtf Aeroscout S2, which I crashed into a light pole destroying it. I bought a BNF Aeroscout to replace it. My question is when I find the DXS to the new Aeroscout will all the presets be the same for the Aeroscout to function properly or will I need to do what is described in this video to get it setup properly?

What receiver should I use for the DXS 7 Channel. Planning on using this for the FT Spitfire Master Series.
2 much info for a no digital without a screen to see if u made a change
What does d switch do on a factory apprentice sts? I'm trying to figure out why it nose dove on take off in beginner mode and it's the only control I can't figure out
Do other
Spectrum reciever s have
(Auto land ) and ( panic mode) ?
Panic yes, autoland is more of a function of the flight controller. Some BNF and RTF models have that as an option, but for the most part it is model specific.
How do I add Expo to my DXS? I have the SPMA3065 Programming cable and the USB serial cable. I was able to update the software using the windows Spektrum programmer app however everything else is grayed out. Whenever I connect it just flips to the software update menu?
You have to turn the program off....then click back on...then no gray out..
@ I’ll give it another try thanks
Is this the same transmitter of the e flite habu sts rtf?
Yes but if you want the additional modes you will need to update the tx.
Can I bind my DXs to an bnf model lile the v900 ?
Yes you can :)
Mine want do that with the trim switch! but tx is SHT on number's
SHTA
Sounds like you might need to update the TX if you are not able to change profiles.
@@SpektrumRCvideos yea going to try to update it
I just installed the landing asst to my habu jet sts how do i set my dxs to make it work
HI Jerry, should essentially be plug and play, no need to change any settings.
can I use this with a Turbo Timber Evolution? UMX Timber Evolution? peace and love from Rhode Island
I've just bought a RFT Aeroscout Plane, came with the dxs, I'm now looking at the blade 230s or 3390s BNF, will this remote work with either of these heli's? And also still have the use of safe on both models? Assuming all I'd have to do is change from the plane profile over to the one heli profile? I am intending on upgrading the remote at some point but not just yet if I can use the dxs for both models.
Hi Dan, IF your DXs is up to date, you will be able to switch to the Heli profile and use it to fly either of those helis. If you can hold the trimmers as described in this video to enter that menu, then it has the latest update. Otherwise you will want to follow the instructions to update the DXs. Hope that helps!
@@SpektrumRCvideos Hi, thank you for getting back to me. I tried the trim trick and it did nothing so I have just received the cables required to update it which I shall do now. Thanks again 👍
Is there a way to use DXs with Phoenix RC or another flight simulator? Or do you need a DX6e+?
Great video. When I try to access the different flight modes i only get red flashing lights with a warning tone. Manuel says it’s a low batterie warning but the batteries are brand new. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Are you using a Smart ESC? It could be an indicator that the flight pack is dead if you are.
@@SpektrumRCvideos yes I am. I have the horizon hobby 1.5 p51. I’m trying to change the flight mode to have control of the flaps.
Now the the esc just blinks and beeps and my receiver won’t power on. Lol.
Can this transmitter be bound to a extra 300?
Bound to? Yes. Recommended to fly, depends on the model. If you are referring the the E-flite model, it is not recommended due to the inability to adjust the dual rate settings.
@@SpektrumRCvideos ok thank you for your reply
Is there any way to use a DX5e with a AR636 and get the safe select to work? Thanks Don
AR6 rx line has 6-channels, the DX5e is 5 channel. You need a 6+ channel tx to bind to a 6 channel rx
I'VE JUST BOUGHT MY APPRENTICE STS1.5,,AN I CANT GET IT TO BIND IM A BEGINNER, ANYWAY, DOES MY DXS,,SUPPOSE TO HAVE SYION COLORS, BECAUSE ITS ORANGE,,THAT'S HELI, RIGHT?? WELL I HAVEN'T UPDATED MY SPEKTRUM DXS 7 CHANNEL BUT THE COMPANY SAID I DONT HAVE TOO UPDATE IT,MY QUESTION IS,MY TRANSMITTER SHOULD BE BLUE,,FOR AIR PLANE OR SYION COLOR BECAUSE ITS NOT, IT ORANGE, AN IT WORKS ON ORANGE ON SIMULATOR, BUT WONT BIND TO REAL AIRCRAFT 🤔, SO WHATS WRONG,SHOULD I GET TO THE SYION COLOR, TO BIND???
We call that color blue in Arkansas
I feel ya!
if I use the mode 2 for flaps and landing gear do I lose the 3 flight modes?
Yes, you lose SAFE function in replacement for flaps.
Can this be used for the Havoc Xe ? and is there a way to turn the volume up on the telemetry ?
I would not recommend it with that model.
can I bind the DXS to NX8 as a trainer?
Yes you can
@@SpektrumRCvideos can you please make a video about it 🙏
Mine won't work at all DXS with a hobby zone carbon cub RTF
Does this transmitter support satellite receiver?
Yes. The DXS can be used as an instructor's transmitter with the SPM9747 Remote Receiver. :)
I have a question about the SLT 6LP transmitter. A couple months ago I bought an RC plane and used the transmitter to bind it to my apprentice STOL. My remote is not like a DX6E and cannot bind to multiple RC planes, only. I’ll get to the point here, since I’ve bonded the transmitter to a previous rc plane can I bind it to a different one? I’ve tried binding it to a different aircraft and neither the aircraft or transmitter is responding.
I would REALLY appreciate it if someone could help me out here. REALLY would appreciate it. (For more context the plane is a UMX timber bnf)
Hope someone can reply ❤️
Updating your radio is easy, just buy our special cable and adapter because we just couldn't make it work with a normal USB cable
If I have the new Habu SS and I am trying to use safe select is there anyway to make it work without doing the update, the SPMA3068 adapter is just not available at this point
Hi Michael, the stock DXs settings that come with most of the RTF models will work, no need to update since the Habu SS does not have flaps.
@@SpektrumRCvideos I’m still having no response to the levels of Safe or As3x I throttled up for 5 seconds flipped plane over and nothing, it’s stuck in expert mode, I found both adapters will let you know thanks
I am using this transmitter on the timber evo and I was wondering how to change the flap switch to the D switch because right now it defaulted to A, and I have to constantly hold A down ti keep the flaps up, any suggestions?
Follow these instructions in this video to change the mode on the DXs to the Flap airplane type.
Yea I found out I needed the cable and I didn’t feel like buying it, so I just swapped the leads on the receiver and that fixed the problem
Can I use the DXs for a Mini Convergence BNF?
It will not. No ability to mix channels on the DXs and that is a requirement. You will need a Spektrum DX6e at the least. Hope that helps!
Can you do video on how to do a range test with the DXS
Range Test
1. Power on the transmitter for at least five seconds with the throttle stick and trim low.
2. Press and hold switch A (Bind button) and toggle switch F four times within 10 seconds. The transmitter LEDs will flash orange and the alarm will sound. The
system is in range check mode. Do not let go of the bind button until you are finished with the range check.
IMPORTANT: You must hold the BIND/Panic button during the entire range check process. Releasing the button will exit the range check mode
Cool if I have the 230s rtf transmitter I should just have to bind the 330s right, it's already in heli mode ??...&&& For my planes I have the rtf transmitter from my Carbon Cub I can use for the planes until I get a programmable radio.??
Yup! :)
Question- I have an larger Areoscout & lately I loose throttle right after takeoff & another time during flight.
I put it in Range Test by holding panic button & flipping Rate switch up & down 4 times. No control or motor when past 10-15ft from plane.
Could that be issue with AR631 receiver or ESC or Motor?
Are you only losing throttle? That would make me think that the battery is bad or not charged. Otherwise it could be a damaged antenna on the receiver causing reception issues.
Screw that radio .I had to buy it to get the 230s ..cause it's all he had ,just to get the battery and adapter..all was well til I tried to switch from acro to level and the damn heli went full stick right on its own..I then bound my Dx6E..I don't use panic mode. So I never program it into the Dx6E..just my flight modes and hold then idle up .put this radio back in the closet.just was wondering if there was any hope for it on other craft
Is the 7th channel active on the DXs. I got the Apprentice STS 1.5 RTF and the instruction don't say anything about being able to use it.
I've set up Flaps and was planning on using Ch7 for them.
The instructions has the Landing Assist plugged into Ch7 if I move it to channel 8 will the assist still work (the plane has the A3230 Spektrum 8Ch Controler) the number 1 position is open and #8 is also open.
Any info would be helpful. Its maiden found itself in a tree for a week and a hard nose-first landing from 50' straight down, so I figured with all the repairs that had to be made, might as well cut in the flaps!
Help!
Hi! Yes the 7th channel is active, but what switch it interacts with will depend on the profile (as seen in this video) also Port 8 is channel 7 and where you will want to plug in your flaps. Hope that helps!
@@SpektrumRCvideos Thank you very much for the reply and information! The Video didn't really say that I could do what I want with flaps on my Apprentice. So, I'm hoping it will work, (not doubting your expertise but I have bad luck with life matters like this) I just finished the upgrade yesterday, but annoyed that, as said in the vid needed an adaptor, which of course is out of stock, so had to make my own which worked fine!
Thanks again
@@SpektrumRCvideos Upgraded the transmitter, changed to profile 2 as the video suggested, plugged a servo into port 8 as you said but didn't work, also tried port 7 again nothing. But switching to profile 2 canceled the motor cut safey switch and the safety pulse on the motor for the taxi to the take-off area. Not knowing what else it may have done, opted to go back to profile (1) one to reactivate the safeties.
So, what could be the problem?
@@crotaflyingsolo4759 how did you make your own brother?
@@davehoward4970 Brother??🤔🤔
Don't get that musical sound and it would be orange and the profile lights stay off.
I got the DXS that came with the rtf Aeroscout S2, which I crashed into a light pole destroying it. I bought a BNF Aeroscout to replace it. My question is when I find the DXS to the new Aeroscout will all the presets be the same for the Aeroscout to function properly or will I need to do what is described in this video to get it setup properly?
Any luck? I’m having same issue with the habu, everything had binded no problem I just can’t get my safe switch to work
