Spektrum AR620 6-Channel RC Sport Receiver, Black

Awesome RC receivers! The AR620 6-channel & the AR410 4-channel are compact, affordable and all the receiver the vast majority of fliers will ever need. Years ago, as a young engineer in the RC industry, I learned from experience that our radio technology far exceeds what most fliers will ever need or use. Often, simpler is obviously better. After carefully researching the current Spektrum product line, it seems these two supposed "entry level" receivers are among the best performing in the entire Spektrum lineup. Super simple with all the necessary features and conveniences (including telemetry). They are micro size & ridiculously lightweight (AR620 8g & AR410 7g). With no external antenna to hassle with and very nicely priced at $50 & $35 respectively, who could possibly need more? When used with the new NX series transmitters, these AR receivers even offer fly-by telemetry (800-foot range). I personally use a micro alarm on my airborne LiPo batteries to inform me of my battery condition. This avoids taking my eyes off my airplane to stare at squint-print on my transmitter LCD screen (or listening to some robo-voice squawk at me). I can simply focus on the joys of flying. But, obviously the telemetry feature entices plenty of customers to buy another gee-wiz, gotta-have, techno-gadget. This new series of Spektrum receivers perform flawlessly with both my NX8 (programmable) and DXe (basic) transmitters. Also, if you want to use Futaba servos with these receivers, you can even carefully trim off the tiny "interference tabs" on the receiver front plug-in opening (removing the plastic receiver face is best before trimming). Then, you can lightly clip off the Futaba servo connector key tab... and bingo, you have created a universal servo connector and a compatible receiver. Don't ya' just love companies that try to insist on making their product proprietary -- when it serves no functional purpose? As a serious and active 3D flier these days, I've found both the AR620 & AR410 to be very capable and reliable receivers that perform flawlessly under the most demanding conditions. I own two of each receiver and have experienced zero issues with any of them. I see no reason to get caught up in the addictive "upgrade" syndrome when these fantastic micro receivers meet my needs completely. Check them out for yourself.

Nice replacement

Great spektrum receiver and works great in my old Zero FMS plane(800mm). Highly recommend especially if you're using a Spektrum transmitter.

Oh yeah. Outstanding receiver with 6 channels. No external antenna. So easy to set up. Rock solid unit. Highly recommended. Great price too.

Works great

I've been using this model for rc sailboats for years. Always reliable.

Lo probé en tierra y funciona muy bien. El pedido llegó a tiempo.

perfect fit in every plane

perfect !

Amazon insists this is a toy. It is not. In my experience a good, reliable receiver that's easy to find room for in or on a fuselage. Bought several on sale.

Facile à binder, parfait, testé hier

Ik heb er meerdere en ze werken goed. Zelf nooit vreemde dingen meegemaakt.

Perfetto
