I was looking on Amain and wanting to price a DX4R and they don't even list it. Has the DX4R became obsolete already??????

looks like it, yup. The real question is wether or not it is going to be replaced by another 4 channel remote, or wether they will keep their lineup, and go straight from the DX4S to the DX6R, though i doubt it, since $499 is a big jump from $179.

Something new is probably in the works.

My DX3 finally broke after 6yrs of use, the scoll roller broke while trying to select models.

I'm looking at getting the DX4s or 4r and was wondering if it will work with my other receivers. I just bought (2) SR310 receivers back in September and I'm finding mixed information about it being backwards compatible. I've read a few places that say yes it will work and then a few places that say, no it will not work and would have to buy all new receivers....

Any info or input would be greatly appreciated. I have a big race coming up in 2wks and need something soon.

The DX4R will run your SR310 receivers. The 4R will run DSMR and DSM2. I run 3520's on mine all the time. Original DSM, I'm not sure, I've never tried it and don't use any receivers that old.

Just wondering if anyone has experienced any issue on the latest firmware update?
Me and my buddy both have the dx4r and both just did updates a few weeks ago and now we both have the exact same issue.
Turn it on and it starts up but fails to connect to the reciever.
Throttle and steering say +110 on both under the main screen(you pull throttle or steer and it doesn't change). We have to turn them on and off again and eventually they connect.

He was at a different race this past weekend and still had the problem and i have had it to happen fiddling with it at home so it wasnt a local issue at the track.

Any suggestions?

That is why I refuse to update the firm ware. It is impossible to hold them accountable for something that is out of warranty. Has anyone stuck a lipo in one of these? I did on a DX3S and it works great.

im using the original firm ware and can bind to the cheap orange rx's
also i am using a super old dsm rx . you have to adjust your frame
rate im using 16.5 with the older stuff and orange rx's

Having a binding issue with my DX4R. Trying to bind a DSM2 SR3520 at 5.5ms frame rate. Every time I bind the receiver it defaults back to 16.5ms frame rate. What am I doing wrong? I have no issue binding the included SR2000 at 5.5ms.

I dont think the Sr3520 can handle a 5.5ms frame rate. I believe the DSM2 receivers can only operate at the 16.5ms rate, which is why your radio is automatically defaulting back to that when you bind.

DSM2 receivers (SR3100 and SR3520) can handle 5.5ms. Original Spektrum DSM cannot. Here is the manual for the SR3520 where it specifically mentions 5.5ms frame rate: https://www.spektrumrc.com/ProdInfo/...Manual_ENG.pdf

"Note: If using a DX3R and 5.5ms frame rate is selected, only two channels (steering and
throttle) are operational."

@racer1812

Any input since you seem to have experience binding multiple SR3520s to your DX4R?

Are you selecting the 5.5ms frame rate BEFORE you bind?

Just for you I pulled out my B6 and bound a sr3520 to test. Selected 5.5ms frame rate, Bound the Rx without a servo plugged in. No issues.

Bound again with a Spektrum 6040 servo plugged into the Rx, again no issues. Radio holds the 5.5ms frame rate on DMS2.

Bound back to my SR2000 Rx, screen switched to DSRM and 5.5ms frame rate.

Long story short, make sure you select the frame rate before binding.

Hope that helps...?

I also made the mistake of using the wrong frame rate before, and fixed the problem once I changed it.
