Shop around and get a DX6 ...they are superseded by the DX6i and the prices are dropping.

Now sold out, according to the page on that link Alan. At that price Idve got one of those...

The site I check for RC stuff in holland sells the DX7 for 1 euro more than the DX6, which is very odd. For 1 euro more you get a much smoother TX. But then again, both prices are too high anyway.

damn we missed a bargain there

We got 3 of those

They are mode 1 though but my dad is sorting that out this weekend

Does anyone know if Spektrum have resolved the compatibility issue?

[grant_ploughbot]

I have talked to them and they are looking into it, a few of the ones we have sold i have contacted the buyers and they all work fine so far

Ok this is the status.

1. Horizon UK (great support) recreated same scenarios as we had.
2. We aslo tried 2 AR6000s with the DX6i and same problem. The DX6i works everytime with the AR6200 supplied.
3. Spektrum US just tell us to send the kit back to US with our receipt - As we ahve already tried another DX6i with same problem I cant see what this will achieve....and they asked us to send back all our BR6000s aswell !!! What a joke !

4. So I have asked them to contact me direct (cant dial the US freephone 877 number from UK)

I think we need to start a new thread and Id be interested to hear from anyone thats has definetly got theirs working.

We are on the point of taking back our DX6i... all I can say is just be aware of what you could be letting yourself in for !

Just spent 1 hour on Phone with Spektrum US...(had to dial a friend in US to transfer me !)

They confirmed DX6i should work fine with BR6000s. Might just have been really unlucky with 2 faulty DX6is - they cant explain why the AR6200 works ok though. But they are looking into it and will get back to me next week.

I seem to have the same problem. Sometimes it will bind and sometimes it wont. Then, it takes ages to connect together after the binding process. I had kronic on for 5 minutes and it didnt connect. Had to rebind it up and that was hit and miss. Weed seems to connect a lot easier than Kronic, but even that can take 2 mins or more.

Hopefully its only a software thing with the Rx or Tx
