Hi i am upgrading as well i wonder if you could answer a question about spektrum radio i had a DX6 which i wanted to change to a recharge battery "correct type" after i took the batts out the radio went down "useless" after i installed the recharge battery any ideas, i currently have a NX 8 i have other radios "Flysky-Futaba etc none of these are a problem .
The Spectrum battery checker is over priced.I had one and the screen broke on me.The best one is a cellmeter7 battery capacity controller and is only $10.00 on Amazon.
Wish I would've known that an NX20 was in the works when I updated my radio to the NX10 last year. The iX20's Android OS was a bit of a turnoff to me since I'm in the 🍏ecosystem but the NX20 is really appealing. I might have to put one of these in the rotation this year.
You didn't mention the quality of the rear sliders. When I looked at an NX20 in the LMS I was not impressed with how sticky and ratchety those sliders were.
I never Would of thought I would use 14 channels when I started flying … I have reached 14 channels .. 😳😳 when you buy a transmitter buy as many channels as you can … I went through 3 transmitters .. Dx6e , dx8e , nx10 and now I am on ix14
I just purchased a NX 20 reght out of the box after charging the tx battery it high throttle alarm went off I have a DX18 QQ but it can not be upgraded has no specker. I am not happy Horizon use to check every TX for operation but that was 10 years ago or more. o this TX NX 20 had to be returned and I am not sure I want to go thrugh 3 hours on the phone to the serivce center so think twice befor eyou By from Horizon Hobby.
I dumped my ix20 for I did not enjoy the android/google stuff, now I sold my NX10 and DX20 in order to purchase this NX20 to update. The NX10 is really nice cost effective radio if are a Spektrum fan which I am, even though I at times express my free speech rights to make some criticisms here and there. What I will miss is the buttery smooth gimbals the DX20 has, in hope Spektrum will some day make these types available as standard on NX20 and or other higher channel platforms from the start. You could always offer a lesser gimbal version later as a secondary release to offer to those budget minded. I do know I will down the road kick myself for not waiting for the NX20SE, shame on Spektrum for not doing the right thing first. Oh and now in hope since I sold my transmitters my new order will not be stuck in back-order beyond mid May! Thanks for your review
Hey you forgot to mention the cool feature when you turn it on and don’t get sound so you have to restart it. Wow what a great feature for a 1300 dollar radio. I’m sure glad your QC caught that bug before shipping.
are the ix14 gimbals less of a stretch than the nx8? Nx8 is fine but I would prefer less stretch to the gimbals and better ergonomics. Worth upgrading just for that? Thanks.
Thanks for the reply. I mean stretch to reach the inside corners. It looks like ix14 gimbals are closer to the edge of the radio, which would be an improvement.
@@StevesRC hello Sir did you think that nx 14 is distribued by HH europe? il like buy the nx10 SE but is not and never available for european rc guys 😔.thank you
@@StevesRC I currently have a DX9 and want to upgrade but 20 channels is just more than I need. An NX14 would be perfect for me. Hopefully it won't be too long before Spektrum fill that gap in the NX range?
Great review, thankyou for doing what you do. I can't help but wonder though why is the information on the back of the iX radio has the information blurred out. Nothing really private about that is there?
absolutely absurd pricing
What are most channels that can be used for flight control surfaces? Is it 12 or 14 channels?

At 18:35, you mention the Hangar 9 P-47 30cc download. Is H9 reintroducing the 30cc P-47?
Its the model file for the older version. No announcement here :)
Do you think Horizon will follow suit as they did with iX20 and make an NX14
They really should do. There's a big gap in the NX range between the 10 and the 20.
All I will say to this is stay tuned :)
Verrà fatta anche con la nx20 la versione limited edition ?
forse
Just to give a sense of perspective to how absurd it costs: you can buy 300 radiomaster pockets with 1 of these.
Yeah umm no. Pocket is like 50 dollars. 50x300 = 15,000
Better comparison is the TANDEM X18 which is $275 and can do so much more plus its dual band.
🦘🐨 had a dx 9 the roller gave out. now have a ix20 . 2 years . very happy with this..Keith Australia 🇦🇺
I currently own a DX8 and I learned to fly on a 5 channel long antenna 72 mhz MRC 765 in 1980.My DX8 is good enough for me.I fly sport/pattern planes.
The Spectrum battery checker is over priced.I had one and the screen broke on me.The best one is a cellmeter7 battery capacity controller and is only $10.00 on Amazon.
The Spectrum DX18 used to be the king of radios.Only the rich people owned them.

When comparing the Nx20 to the ix20 does the Ix have anymore programing features since its using a android operating system.
Nope

Where is the NX20SE with the nice aluminum gimbals??
No touch screen, ouch. That’s a step back in evolution. Hate the scroll wheel with all of my soul!

Yep it’s crazy how fast you eat up channels as you get bigger and bigger planes

Use the chat function, request a call back. Take the call, send the radio in. Super simple.

Update, now they say won't ship till end of May! Here we go, the back-order limo
NX 20 would you put a 25,000 jet on this NX 20 that failed first d time out of the box ??
How did it fail? If service checks it out, then yes and I have flown plenty of bespoke models on spektrum!
I fly basic im happy with nx6 loving it

As in, distance from each other? I would say the 14 are similar in distance to the 8
Thanks for the reply. I mean stretch to reach the inside corners. It looks like ix14 gimbals are closer to the edge of the radio, which would be an improvement.
Just bought a ix14 love it!!!
Awesome! Me too!
Omg it has the scroll wheel. That’s a deal breaker
@@phillipjensen4362 there’s always the iX version
The ix14 is the top dog here 😊 right am of channels, superb performance and really good pricing, and perfect size
I agree that it is a great radio for sure and likely perfect for most users
NIIIIIIIIIIIICE! 😁👍
Only if there was a nx14 available
We are working on it :)
@@StevesRC hello Sir did you think that nx 14 is distribued by HH europe? il like buy the nx10 SE but is not and never available for european rc guys 😔.thank you
@@jeanmarieponchin5932 it will be. Currently available for preorder on our EU site
@@jeanmarieponchin5932 NX20 is aviable at our local Horizonhobby here in EU. But there is no sign of the NX14..

I like my IX20 i do use more than 12 channels. I had mine for 3 years now. I love it.
I gotta have this one. Surprisingly I'm not sure how I like the nx10 I just bought... Great video
Thanks!
🐨🦘 nice easy description. no technical crap. easy to understand. Keith Australia 🇦🇺
Not sure i'm just not 100% sold on this radio and price point is not the best
Great review, thankyou for doing what you do. I can't help but wonder though why is the information on the back of the iX radio has the information blurred out. Nothing really private about that is there?
I have my cell number on the back ;)
Ah, now it makes sense. Thanks for the reply and please keep up the great review. Reviews like your are so so good for the RC hobby. @@StevesRC
ciao, la nx20 e' piu' piccola come dimensioni della ix20?
uguali
First things first as you said .. What’s the case material ? The rest is great !
It’s plastic
Thanks
Lol even the HH guy thinks the NX20 is expensive. Kinda nuts to pay $1200 for a revamp DX series radio
Expensive doesn’t mean overpriced ;) I merely recognized its not within everyone’s budget and therefore expensive.
🐨🦘 i had a dx9 for a few years . the roller collapsed .has this been addressed .Keith Australia 🇦🇺
🦘🐨 20 channels.. like your car . there if you need it. Keith Australia 🇦🇺
🦘🐨 im amused why some say 20..
easy .dont buy it. Keith Australia 🇦🇺
