The RC8X is an 8-channel transmitter for RC cars, boats and robot projects. It is operated from a 4.3-inch colour touchscreen rather than the small LCD and button rows used on most surface radios, and it stores settings for up to 200 models. This version ships with two R8FG receivers, each with an integrated gyro, IPX4 splash protection and real-time telemetry, so two models can be set up from the start.
Ground range reaches 600 m under open conditions and the response time goes down to 3 ms with a digital servo and a V2.1-marked receiver. Voice prompts, eight groups of programmable mixing and an FPV view on the built-in screen are all configured from the touchscreen menu itself, with no programming involved.
