Would like to know myself as well as how to tell which version of the radio you have.

On the Android main screen. Go to settings, scroll down to bottom About Tablet, scroll to bottom - Build number. It should have a code in the middle it will say DX6R.2016 or .2018

The original ones will say 2016

I have not heard them charging anyone....but don't have control over that end of the business.

Thanks a bunch. Looks like I have the older version.
On a side question I am getting a couple of the new SR215 receivers but I do not see them on the list in the transmitter. I assume if I use the SR210 model and switch the frame rate to 5.5 that would work?
Any insight on this would be great.

I have a 2016, the transmitter works great. Would it still be beneficial to send in for and update?

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

The processor update will allow you to use Bluetooth with new Bluetooth programming options on speed controls like Tekin and Hobbywing. The update will also erase potential YouTube error. I agree that if its not broken, and working how you want it. Keep having fun!!!

You can just bind the receiver to the current model you are in, choosing 5.5 frame rate. You don't have to go back and choose the receiver, but if you do you can choose SR210 or SR2100,

Oh dam just bought the unit. Must have been old stock .Since I dont really use the controller in the summer as I just run onroad carpet would it be stull possible to send it in after the season for the update? I use all Tekin esc and being able to connect via wifi instead of through the USB and that nasty flap would be a major option I had anticipated prior to purchasing the unit .

Did you get it from a dealer?? All the newest stock we have is updated. You can send it in when it works best for you. Nick

Yes I got it from a hobby shop, one on the Horizon list though.
ATD Hobbies in Penticton, B.C. Canada.
Must have been older stock for sure.


Quick other question though.

I see new receivers out for the air based DSMX. Why is it that the surface receivers DSMR seem to be more expensive or offer less channels for the same price?
They also have the antenna less units and why dont they adopt that for the surface receivers?

DSMR and DSMX are similar protocols, of course one surface and one air. The cost is really dependent on a lot of factors and the new antenna less air receivers are aggressively priced. Looking at our current line of receivers, we are at or below cost on our competitors. We do have an antenna less surface receiver SR2100, at lower price point than our competitors. We also have new receivers starting at 29.99. Always trying to fight for the lowest price I get for the products, without giving up performance or quality.
