SpektrumRCIn this video, Tom explains to our fellow RC Enthusiasts how to use the Avian Prog menu to enable Motor / Thrust Reversing. This feature is preloaded into all current Avian ESCs and is even included with some E-Flite Bind and Fly models. If you are having trouble following along with the manual, this is the video for you!
Required devices to perform Thrust Reverse - A Spektrum Smart capable receiver - All current receiver models support Smart telemetry. A simple indicators that this function is available is the Spektrum Smart Logo is on the label. - A Spektrum Smart capable Spektrum computer transmitter - If it is a G2/G3 DX with a screen, or a NX or iX, you have this functionality. - A Spektrum Smart Avian esc - Either included with a BNF or PNP model or purchased open stock.
----------- Important Notes ------------- This is an advanced function, and likewise, should only be used by experienced pilots and Spektrum users. This video tutorial will help with the setup and hopefully answer any questions you might have, but it is not a replacement for inexperience. It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that you understand which channel you select for Thrust Rev and to make sure that the switch and or channel you use is NOT used by another function. Such as control surfaces, flaps, retracts, SAFE or AS3X modes, gain adjustment channel, etc.
TEST THRUST REVERSE ON THE GROUND AND WITHOUT A PROPELLER FIRST! To confirm that thrust reverse is not going to cause any surprises while in flight, check thrust reversing while observing the models other functions, modes and controls.
These same steps are synonymous with Spektrum DX Gen 2 and Gen 3 transmitters and NX transmitters. The menu structure may be slightly different but the options and steps are the same.
For the best user experience, make sure that your Transmitter, ESC and Receiver is up to date. If you are experiencing any problems during setup, this is the first thing to check. Look for our links below to learn how to update each of these devices.
Also we encourage you, the RC community, to give us suggestions on more quick hit tech tip videos! What do you need help with or what have you found fixed what you think could be a common mistake? Let us know!

*It is important to note that your Spektrum receiver MUST be updated to AS3X+ before following this video, learn how to update your Spektrum receiver to AS3X+ here: youtu.be/_Kv3Xn231_I
AS3X+ setup has become even EASIER for select BNF aircraft with AS3X+ and SAFE Preset Model Files! These Horizon Hobby brand BNF aircraft have been expertly tuned by seasoned pilots at Horizon Hobby and Spektrum, and have been uploaded to the Spektrum RC File Share Public Drive for everyone to enjoy. This video teaches how to properly get the AS3X+ Preset Model Files loaded into the Spektrum receiver of your BNF aircraft.
Welcome to the NX+ Transmitter Buyer's Guide! With the recent NX+ and iX+ firmware update, the Spektrum NX and iX radios have been given many added features, including a significant increase in the number of programmable channels for many of the NX transmitters and iX14! We understand that with this update, there is a lot to learn and understand the differences between the air transmitters, especially for someone new to the Spektrum ecosystem or radio control. This video is to help RC pilots learn the differences between the NX7e+, NX8, and NX10 in order to help them decide on their first "entry level" Spektrum transmitter.
Chapters: 0:00 - Introduction and Update Requirements 0:44 - AS3X+ Compatible Receivers 1:00 - Things To Know Before Updating 2:58 - AS3X Programmer App 4:01 - Updating the Receiver 9:56 - Factory Reset 14:05 - First Time Setup 17:21 - Gyro Response Test and Outro
With this firmware update, you can get the ultimate locked-in feel of AS3X+; but now in lower channel count receivers such as the 6, 8, and 10 channel Spektrum stabilized receivers (refer to the full list of receivers in the video). The all-new AS3X+ stabilization algorithm creates better flight performance, improves sensor accuracy and data rate, and provides pilots with a generationally different feel compared to AS3X. AS3X+ new parameters and new menus with intuitive forward programming makes it the easiest system to set up and program. It features a vastly improved stabilization algorithm that has been rigorously tested by experts throughout the hobby. In the video, Horizon Hobby Technical Director David Payne walks through the process in updating an AS3X receiver to the new AS3X+ firmware. He also goes through the first time setup of the AS3X+ receiver and provides a couple of tips and tricks along the way!
This firmware update expands the potential of all NX and iX series transmitters with added channel count and programming features for the AS3X+ Receiver Update. The NX8, NX10, and iX14 now become 20-channel transmitters while the NX6 and NX7e become 14-channel transmitters! New features are also added to all NX transmitters and current iX transmitters along with AS3X+ Forward Programming and Smart Transmitter File Downloads.

Curious about what’s new on the Spektrum DX6 Rugged compared to its predecessor, the DX5 Rugged? Watch this video to learn about the new features and improvements on the DX6 Rugged!
Your vehicles are extremely durable. Why isn’t your transmitter? The Spektrum™ DX6 Rugged™ 6-channel surface transmitter redefines radio control with a level of durability to match the tough conditions off-roaders, bashers, and boaters encounter constantly. Like its predecessor, the DX5 Rugged, it features superb ergonomics. The result is a class-leading RC system with unmatched durability and other innovative features that unite with precision, versatility, and convenience you won’t want to drive without.

Like its predecessor, the DX5 Rugged, it features superb ergonomics. The result is a class-leading RC system with unmatched durability and other innovative features that unite with precision, versatility, and convenience you won’t want to drive without.
To conquer the wild, the DX6 Rugged gives you 6-channel versatility and hosts an array of auxiliary switches for lights, winches, mixes, and more. Its interface features a new innovative capacitive-touch control panel that offers a greater resistance to moisture and is easy to use. Simply tap to access the control panel and select the menus, options, and values. Additionally, we’ve added a backlight to the easy-to-read LCD display, offering unparalleled brightness and clarity even in the harshest conditions. Integrated telemetry capability** lets you view vital data such as motor RPM, vehicle speed, battery voltage, and temperature on the transmitter in real-time. Plus, the integrated USB-C Port delivers hassle-free firmware updates for uninterrupted functionality.
Molded Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) bumpers surround the radio chassis to protect it against drops, bumps, and scrapes along the way. There’s no external antenna to snag or worry about—a low-profile ridge on the chassis internally protects the robust high-speed signal output. A versatile front chassis guard enhances durability further and provides mounting options for user-integrated accessories such as a camera, light source, or anything else. The pair of lanyard mounting points allows drivers to keep the transmitter close and gain a free hand when not driving. An easy-access accessory compartment makes it possible to carry small tools, such as a T-wrench that easily snaps into the internal mount provided. We increased transmitter water-resistance* to give drivers peace of mind in rainy or wet conditions. Last but not least is an aggressive off-road style steering wheel that expands its ruggedness. It also includes an innovative thumb lever to make controlling your vehicle with one hand safer and more precise.
No matter what you’re driving, you can easily tune the AVC® technology programming on the DX6 Rugged to meet your skill level or driving style with control that makes it feel like you’re at the wheel of a vehicle that handles predictably at every speed.

One way, the older and more traditional way, is via stick and switch commands. BUT we also go over the new option when using a forward programming capable receiver and transmitter, such as the AR637TA, AR630 and AR631 with Safe Select firmware installed (this is what will come with your BNF models).
Setup via Forward Programming is the best and easiest way to setup Safe Select, but it does require that you have a Forward Programming capable transmitter - Which could mean that you simply need to update your Spektrum Gen 2 transmitter.
Here is a list of transmitters that DO NOT support Forward Programming - DX6i, DX6G2 (EU Version), DX7, DX7S, DX7SE, DX7G2 (EU Version), DX8, Non-computer transmitters
