Your vehicles are extremely durable, why not your transmitter? The Spektrum
DX5 Rugged 5-channel surface transmitter redefines radio control with a level
of durability to match the tough conditions off-roaders, bashers and boaters
encounter constantly. We started with a chassis based on the superb Spektrum
ergonomic design found on the popular DX5C and competition favorite DX5 Pro.
From there, we integrated cordless power tool feature ideas for the die-hard
punishment those products endure. The result is a class-leading RC system with
unmatched durability in addition to other innovative features that unite with
a level of precision, versatility and convenience you won't want to play
without. Molded Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) bumpers surround the radio
chassis to protect it against drops, bumps and even a few bangs here and
there. There's no external antenna to snag or worry about—a low-profile ridge
on the chassis protects the robust high-speed signal output internally. A
versatile front chassis guard enhances durability further and provides
mounting options for user-integrated accessories such as a camera, light
source or anything else. The pair of lanyard mounting points gives drivers the
ability to keep the transmitter close and gain a free hand when not driving.
An easy-access accessory compartment makes it possible to can carry small
tools, such as a T-wrench that smartly snaps into the internal mount provided.
We increased transmitter water-resistance to give drivers peace of mind should
there be an unexpected splash of water or some drops of rain. Last, but not
least, is an aggressive off-road style steering wheel that expands its
ruggedness even further, AND equipped it with an innovative thumb-lever to
make controlling your vehicle with one-hand safer and more precise. To conquer
the wild, the DX5 Rugged gives you 5-channel versatility and hosts an array of
auxiliary switches for lights, winches and more. Its interface features an
innovative capacitive-touch control panel that offers a greater resistance to
moisture and is easy to use. Simply slide your finger over the control panel
and tap to select the menus, options and values on the easy-to-read LCD
display. Additionally, the DX5 Rugged Green edition features an upgraded panel
from previous releases, with an improved feel, control, and system operation.
Integrated telemetry and Smart telemetry capability allows you to view vital
data such as motor RPM, vehicle speed, battery voltage and temperature right
on the transmitter in real-time. No matter what you're driving, the AVC
technology programming capability in the DX5 Rugged can be easily tuned meet
your skill level or driving style with control that makes it feel like you're
at the wheel of a vehicle that handles predictably at every speed.
