DX6 Rugged 6-Channel DSMR Transmitter Only, Orange

Updated Capacitive Interface

We’ve updated our capacitive interface to allow a tap instead of a swipe. This makes the panel much easier to use, and the sensitivity can be adjusted easily inside the radio’s programming. This new interface was also designed to operate flawlessly in a variety of environmental conditions.

New Back-Lit Display

The DX6 Rugged’s new backlit LCD display helps users navigate the intuitive software easily in any setting. The display is excellent for seeing your radio in the dark, and it stands out even in the brightest conditions.

Unmatched Durability

Starting with a chassis based on a superb Spektrum ergonomic design, we were inspired by the punishment capability of cordless power tools. We translated their engineering to the specific needs of the RC driver. The result is a shock-absorbing rubberized bumper design that surrounds the transmitter chassis to form a level of protection never offered before on a surface transmitter.

Aggressive Styling

The DX6 Rugged stands out as a transmitter platform that means business handling the wildest terrain, the toughest conditions, and the fiercest competition without worry. That’s why we designed durability hand-in-hand with convenience. A built-in side compartment offers tool storage, and two lanyard mounts (one rubber, one molded into the chassis) are supplied so you can be hands-free instantly.

Inspired Ergonomics

The ergonomically recognized DX5 Rugged paved the way for giving the DX6 Rugged a feel any driver could appreciate. Its overall low weight offers all-day driving with minimal fatigue, while the non-slip rubber grip and trigger-throttle action offer a precision experience that feels natural.

Versatile Chassis Guard

The front chassis guard is built-in to increase durability further and allow users to self-integrate personal accessories and/or features such as a camera or light source—the sturdy guard itself and its mounting points are at your disposal.

Breakthrough Steering Control

The aggressive off-road steering wheel tread helps the precision of Spektrum technology to deliver a tactile feel, even if you’re crawling, bashing, or boating in harsh conditions. The integrated thumb-lever makes it possible to steer one-handed safely and with a higher level of precision.

Easy to Program

Programming the DX6 Rugged is simple. An intuitive interface makes navigating menus and changing settings easy. Most users can complete complex programming tasks without looking at the manual. Plus, the integrated USB-C Port delivers hassle-free firmware updates.

Built-In Telemetry

The built-in telemetry capability provides real-time information on your vehicle’s battery voltage, signal quality, and motor temperature.** Using the audio-tone alert system, you can program the DX6 Rugged to notify you when specific telemetry values reach or exceed your defined limits.

**Vehicle must be equipped with a telemetry-enabled receiver like the SR6000T (sold separately)

Frequency-Agile DSMR® Technology

The DX6 Rugged is built around frequency-agile DSMR 2.4GHz technology. This exclusive Spektrum™ technology can be used in any surface application, including boats. Its range and response, particularly in noisy 2.4GHz environments, are superb. It’s also backward compatible with DSM2® and marine-specific Spektrum receivers. This means most longtime Spektrum users can continue using their existing receivers. You’ll only need to upgrade if you want the frequency-agility of a DSMR receiver for busy 2.4GHz environments.

AVC® (Active Vehicle Control™) Programming

The DX6 Rugged allows custom-tuning an AVC system by providing easy access to dedicated adjustments. In addition, Rugged’s open channels can be used to adjust the AVC steering and throttle systems independently. No matter what you’re driving, AVC technology can enhance your driving skills with control, making it feel like you’re driving a finely tuned vehicle that handles predictably at every speed.
