Spektrum introduces another enormous change for the RC industry--The most affordable full-range 2.4GHz radio ever available. The DX5e brings together the unbeatable control of genuine DSM2 technology with the simplest, easiest-to-use design available, letting anyone, from parkfliers to students to instructors and more, take advantage of Spektrum technology for less. For a Spektrum radio and an AR500 receiver, the DX5e is the greatest value in RC, putting 2.4GHz DSM control in your hands for less than ever before.

This is the Mode-2 Right Hand Elevator and Left Hand Throttle version. If you are not sure which model to get, most U.S. customers choose Mode 2, while in some foreign countries, Mode 1 is more standard. Left-handed drivers may also prefer a Mode 1 radio.

Excellent budget transmitter. If you don't need all of the bells and whistles of higher-end transmitters, this is a great option. With built in mixing and servo reversing, this meets the basic needs of most robotics applications.

The 2.4Ghz system is a major improvement over old-fashion 75 mhz systems too.

Excellent, lots of transmitter for the money :)
Just one thing, be careful about pulling the trainer switch, it's a bit fragile and mine broke off (still useable, though)

All you need

This radio does everything you need it to, but nothing more. It has mixing, it works well with the BR-6000 and it's the cheapest spectrum out there. The draw back, is its battery life is very short and it's so light, it feels more like a toy radio.

Great RC setup

This has longer range than my older Hitec Laser 4 75mhz radio system. Also, it is able to drive the IFI Victor 884 motor controllers directly, no separate PWM Signal Driver was needed. The Hitec Laser 4 was unable to do that.

I have no complaints. This does exactly what I needed.
