Any news or rumors on when the DX6 will be available?

The bridge mode is interesting. Are 1.2A/2A/2.4A/4A much noticeable on a balancing?

I found this for $225, $10 off coupon, and free shipping Unfortunately it’s out of stock now - ended up with the S6. Thanks for the responses.

That’s a good deal. Looks like most US retailers are charging $300, but it looks like ProgressiveRC is selling them at $250.

2. 2amp balance current
3. Don't know if it's true but people say it's more accurate.
4. Has capabilities of the 306duo when paired with an external discharger
5. Some places, like progressive rc, are selling the charger for $250. Cheaper than the $270 for the 306duo.
6. Shows charge and discharge capacity for each cell.
Disadvantages:
1. IMO the kickstand doesn't angle the charger enough for good screen visibility. I can see why though, the charge cables would get in the way.
2. Low internal discharge capabilities for those without an external discharger. A little less than half the current of the 306duo.
3. Scroll wheel isn't a smooth as the old design.

Can the DX8 do that? can you use an external discharge bank on one channel while charging on the other?

I don't see where on mine you can make your own. Thank you

I did not see a lot of reviews on the DX8 so I made my own video. I have only had it about a few weeks, so this is mostly a physical overview and how I have been using it so far.

Can a DUO be wired similar to the smaller ichargers? Where discharging can be accomplished through one channel? Never seen one wired up like that but would be an interesting option if possible.
