DX5R Pro
Got mine today and I have to say that it is well worth the $299 price tag. Wedges take minutes to install if you want them. The new large grip might be a little too thick for some people’s hands. The trigger adjustment is a lot smoother then the 5R. The only issue I have with the new receiver is there is only one aux slot and with no bind plug I am unable to run my mylaps transponder and my motor fan without hardwiring the fan or a 2/1 adapter.

Battery Life
Can anyone comment on how battery life has been for them so far (and what batteries you are using)? This is really the only concern I have left, just want to make sure it doesn’t eat batteries. I will probably buy the 2000mah Lithium pack if I purchase this radio, but would like to hear some user feedback. Thanks!

got the 5 pro. after I got it set up it has the best feel of any pistol I have held. wow. wedges work great went with the reg wheel and the med grip.
The only thing i noticed is the roller seems to be a little too sensitive....anyone else notice this ?
that aside it is nice

Finally used my new DX5 PRO yesterday. I will say, this is a great feeling radio. I agree that the roller does seem a bit sensitive, but not a big deal for me. I haven't tried the wedges yet, but with the included grips and wheels you will be very happy with the feel. The steering is very smooth and responsive. I came from the DX6R to this just for the non-android version. With the included antennaless receiver, this is a killer deal.

This is the configuration I settled on radios unbelievably comfortable compared to my dx4s this may sound a little nuts but it may have actually made me a little faster the radio now conforms to the Natural angles in which my arms settle and are most comfortable before I never noticed it but I had to turn my wrist and hold the radio in a certain way that was actually uncomfortable but works that's just the way it was so I never thought about it but once I put this in my hands and played with it all I can say is wow
