OrangeRx T-SIX vs. Spektrum DX6i

Very nice straight up comparison. I'm sure this would be ideal for a starter TX for anyone wanting to get into the hobby and the use of the many BNF aircraft available. Outwardly appearances could have been better designed IMHO. I've also heard mixed things about the line of Orange receivers and their reliability. But, I guess as they say, you get what you pay for (at least most of the time).

Thanks Mike! Great comparison. I was agonizing over which TX to go with and took a leap of faith with the ORX T-SIX. I've not had any issues with their RX's and figured the TX was a safe bet.
I didn't want to drop the $$$ on a DX6i and all the mods and flashing with Turnigy and others made me a little nervous. IMHO the ORX T-SIX is a great "Starter" transmitter.

Excellent video, very complete your exposition, I like the spektrum radios but 69dls is a great price!

Thanks for posting this.

Yes, I would buy the cheaper version over the DX6i. But, I'm a cheap bastard. Why would I pay more for the same capability? Um, I don't know, either.

Sure, you can argue customer support. So, are you telling me that you are paying more for a TX that you are planning on having a failure? Then, you will get a new TX that is equally likely to have a failure.

Who's replacing your planes when these fail? Silliness. In the end, I think I'll stick with my Turnigy 9x.

Great Review! I don't own the DX6i but I just purchased the T-Six and love it!

I will check them both out, I can't see a reason to pay more for a radio that can do many of the same things. great price by Hobby King

Very nice comparative review - clear, concise & objective.

seems like the orange has more to it like the light back ground and lipo battery plug for it.
On my dx6i i broke my wheel and called horizon and ask them if they could send me a new one and they told me there was to many types of that wheels for my dx6i and I was to send my radio in and they would fix it. Well I did not want to spend 16.00 dollars shipping and have my radio gone for a few weeks during the fly season so I went on ebay and found medal replace wheels for like 8.00 and took only 4 days to get it.

This review is older, I would like to know about the longevity of this unit. is it still as good as the day you got it?

I wish they would come it with one of these that talks dsmx. They have dsmx recovers why can't they make a transmitter with that. That's one of the only reasons why I don't rush to buy one of these

I bought two E-flite 30mm A10 warthogs. Both unlinked while flying on a orx 6 transmitter. I have flown many airplanes on the orx and this never happened of any other airplane and I have many airplanes. Anybody have a suggestion why the a10 unbound? I noticed it unbind if the transmitter is too close but flying for 2 minutes then unbind is NOT close.
