This is the Spektrum DX8e 8-Channel DSMX Transmitter Only. The DX8e comes equipped with the programming you need, no matter what you fly. And because it’s based on the same Spektrum AirWare firmware used in most other Spektrum transmitters, you can share model setups with just about any Spektrum user you meet. Your growing skills deserve a transmitter that can keep pace.
With the flexibility 8-channels delivers, it’s exciting to consider all the options many modern aircraft can accept. Aircraft with flaps, retracts and SAFE select can now all be flown to their full potential. With its extra channels at the ready, you can consider adding lights to a switch or a simulated bomb drop option. Try out what extra flight modes and mixes can offer, play with gain settings on the AS3X system—all without sacrificing premium functions you enjoy like flaps, retracts or dual-ailerons and elevators.
Upgrading from a limited 6-channel radio to a far more versatile 8-channel radio with computer functionality on a budget doesn’t mean you have to settle for less than the best. The Spektrum DX8e gives you the unbeatable response of DSMX technology, the simplicity of Spektrum AirWare firmware as well as many other features you won’t find on other “budget” radios.
The DX8e comes equipped with the programming you need to fly almost anything. And because it's based on the same Spektrum AirWare software used in most other Spektrum transmitters, you can share model setups with just about any Spektrum user you meet.

250+ Model Memory
The enormous capacity of the DX8e's on-board memory means you will rarely, if ever, need to juggle models between transmitter memory and your SD card. The model memory menu is easy to navigate too. Only memory slots with model settings saved to them will appear. You won't have to scroll through empty slots or move models around if one is deleted.
Built-In Telemetry
The built-in telemetry feature can give you real-time information on things like battery voltage, signal quality, motor temperature and more.* You can also program alerts that let you know when specific telemetry values reach or exceed limits you define.
* Requires telemetry sensors and a telemetry-enabled receiver.
Patent-Pending Gimbal Design with Spring Configuration Switch
The DX8e's patent-pending gimbal design lets you change gimbal spring configurations simply by moving a slider switch on the back of the transmitter. No tools are required. Just select the spring configuration that matches the mode you are using and model type you are flying. That's it.
There are four spring configurations to choose from:
Normal Throttle for Modes 2 and 4 (Air, Heli and Sailplane Model Types)
Spring-Centered Throttle for Modes 2 and 4 (Multirotor Model Type)
Spring-Centered Throttle for Modes 1 and 3 (Multirotor Model Type)
Normal Throttle for Modes 1 and 3 (Air, Heli and Sailplane Model Types)
The slider switch is protected by a hinged cover that prevents you from accidentally changing spring configurations in flight.
Wireless Trainer Link
The wireless trainer link gives instructors the option to wirelessly ''buddy box'' with another DSMX/DSM2 transmitter. Once bound to another transmitter, ModelMatch technology will allow the DX8e to re-link without having to go through the bind process again.
