SPEKTRUM DX5R Pro

Believe it or not, the DX5R Pro is Spektrum’s second-best radio but it’s got all the features any pro could ever need. The rotating drop wheel lets you set wheel position just right, and Spektrum even throws in angle wedges to further fine-tune the ergos. The Simplescroll programming and navigation system makes it easy to access the radio’s deep well of tuning functions, and you even get built-in telemetry capability. Available as a transmitter only, or with the SR2100 receiver that includes four Smart Drive presets for six popular Losi models. $240–300 | spektrumrc.com
