Not sure if this been asks.But this will be short question...
Will the DX4S or DX4C work with my 7 other SR300 revciever or the SR310 receivers..
Right now I'm using the DX3S transmitter.....
I hope it does cause i wouldn't want to start buying new receivers my RC.."thumbsup"
 
well that a relief.I guess I'll have to start shopping for a new DX4S or DX4C transmitter....
My DX3S has done me well for about 5 years plus my antenna on my DX3S has broken but still works...
thanks for the help......"thumbsup"
OH ya which one would you suggest to buy the DX4S or DX4C or Pro...
 
Not the second generation DX4C

They have modified the firmware and are not able to bind with DSM RX anymore...

I have a first gen which can, and my friend TX can't
 
Just bought a dx4c yesterday with the intention of using it with all my old spektrum rx's. Ya no bueno. Will not bind with any of my old dsm stuff let me tell you how happy that makes me. Looks like the newest version with just the sr410 rx only works with dsm2 and dsmr.
 
Yep, and if you check most retailers, Spektrum had a sale on old DSM Rx, I got one for 16$... Now you can't find them, only DSMR Rx...

Yeah just found out all my spare spektrum rx are now totally worthless to me with my new TX (Dx4c) no to happy right now...

if you can get hold of a first gen dx4c then they will work, mine did with my sr310.

they released a 2nd gen to sort the memory saving issue that they couldnt fix with firmware update possibility ( why i got rid of mine in the end)

finding a first gen may be more successfull if its a used rather than new radio.

If you can update the firmware. Than can you "un update" it. And maybe make a gen 2 think it's a gen 1?

That would be nice, but there isn't any older firmware available.

I asked a Spektrum rep at RCX about the exclusion of DSM compatibility on new radios and they said that it is intended to fix the glitching know to occur with old Spektrum systems. Essentially, they are acknowledging that their early tech wasn't great and are trying to phase it out.

In general, any DX4c firmware that was built after January 2015 or, if the production date is unknown, has V2.0 or V2.1 firmware, then the radio will only work with new RXs. I am not sure on the DX4s, since my LHS (where I work) rarely gets any in for stock, but I would imagine that they are similar.
 
Also, I am not trying to call anybody out, but the spec list for the DX4s only cites DSM2 and DSMR compatibility. In fact, the DX4c only claims to be DSMR compatible. Simply going to Spektrum's website may have saved some headaches.

Yeah yeah yeah..... I know. I shoulda actually done some research. But my dx4c was a impulse purchase to replace my dx3c lol

It doesn't help that a lot of hobby shops are still oblivious to the change in specs more than a year after they were implemented. I've thrown away some of my co-workers sales because they didn't realize that they radio or receiver they were about to sell was incompatible with the customer's gear. Needless to say, they are all up to date now... most of the time.
