Freaking love my DX5 Rugged. Bought it specifically for my TRX4 Sport but ended up buying an additional 2 SR315 3ch Rx's for my AE RC10-TC3 and Slash. Which the later 2 models were using an older than dirt DX3 1st Gen DSM radio. Yes it supported 3 channels but there isn't the level of fine tuning at all in it. Freaking nice having all 3 models on one Tx. My ultimate favorite feature on the DX5 is that single press G button on the thumb. I use a Mamba X ESC in both my Slash and TRX4. You can set a function on the Aux Wire Mode. For the Slash I have it set to Toggle Reverse On/Off and the TRX4 I have it set to toggle Rock Race/Crawler Mode. Basically Crawler mode changes the Throttle curve to be flatter and turns Drag Brake up to 100%. My old TC3(18 years old and still competitive) I mostly use for Racing in Vintage Trans Am (VTA) 25.5t Spec class, 100% Reedy powered. Otherwise that chassis gets the Drifter body with LED lights tossed on Ch3.

Thank you for showing the menues in detail. I don't mind the price of the radio, but if you are used to the prices of FrSky receivers for air radios the prices for something as simple as a 3ch receiver with no diversity antennas or telemetry seem too much like a ripoff. This is the reason I don't use my DX4C for all cars and as much as I like the rugged - I fear it will share the DX4's fate in the end.

The great things about those AVC technology is you can use it in any of your vehicles and will working the same great way for any of those install into it. I’m still looking to figure about telemetry TM1500 (SPM6742) add on and how to setup it to get this work with SRS6000. I read it is compatible and are working well together. This will be in my future buy. Here the TM1500 (SPM6742) link and also compatible with your receiver/transmitter : www.spektrumrc.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=SPM6742 From Manual and instructions tab from site it shows how to bind with other receiver. Only things is; voltage sensor wire, temperature sensor wire & rpm sensor wire are all sold separately. RPM sensor can be install with add on Dynamite 4mm Telemetry Adapter Set DYNC0156. No solder required for rpm sensor wire being install 🤔. Cheers 🥂

Depends on what receivers you currently run. It needs to be run of DSMR or DSM2 compatible spektrum receivers. I run the SR515 in most of my rigs. That's kind of the one downside is that receivers are a bit on the pricey end depending on how many channels you want. They come in 2, 3, and 6 channels I believe
