NEW Turnigy 9X 2.4GHz Radio with FrSky DJT & D8R-II Plus Rx & Popular Mods like ER9X & ON-SCREEN Telemetry!
Hello fellow R/C enthusiasts!
This item is basically the same as the Turnigy 9X with ER9X, but this model has been modified to include an FrSky DJT transmitter module!
This gives the radio unparalled performance, including failsafe and ON-SCREEN Telemetry readout on the 9X! Compare this radio to others that cost hundreds and thousands more!
Here is the complete list of installed mods and updates:
- FrSky DJT Tx module with antenna
- FrSky D8R-II Plus 8 channel receiver (other receivers available below)
- Telemetry mods to allow ON-SCREEN FrSky Telemetry display and configuration on the 9X display!
- LCD Backlight in natural Blue or White
- Transistor mod for the backlight allowing firmware control, so the light can be turned on and off by the firmware or any switch in various ways. It can even sense stick movement and turn the light on/off!
- PPM Trainer/Sim fix to allow use of the radio with a Simulator or as a Trainer radio
- Firmware programming interface & cable
- Stock battery tray can be used with 8XAA batteries
- Optional 3S Li-Po 2200mAh battery pack for long life
- Easy access to programming interface cable
- Included USBASP programmer
- NEW! The 9X can now be powered and/or charged through the charging jack!
- Radio is configured for Mode 2 (USA), however if you need any other Mode, just let me know!
All mods come installed and tested, pots and sticks calibrated, voltage readout calibrated, gimbal pots
checked and secured as needed (sometimes they are slightly loose).
I believe this is the best package of mods for the 9X available. There are many more mods available to suit your
particular needs, but those are getting very specific and don't appeal to the "masses" like the installed mods I've chosen. However, if you need something special just let me know and I can set you up!

Front of radio
Front view of the entire radio. Very clean and nice layout. I planned carefully so that no modifications to the outside of the radio are required. It looks completely stock, with no holes, and no exterior alterations at all.
ER9X firmware at bootup
Here you can see the Turnigy 9X main screen booting the ER9X firmware with backlight on. This firmware is truly amazing, rivaling features I've seen on any radio at any price. My JR 12X isn't getting much use these days since I got one of these.
FrSky Telemetry right on the 9X Display!!!
Ok, this is the coolest part of the whole deal...you get to see Received signal strength (RSSI), Transmitted signal strength (TSSI), receiver voltage (A1) and pack voltage (A2), RIGHT ON THE 9X DISPLAY! You won't find these features on other radios costing hundreds or thousands more!
You can also set alarms for all these values to give you audible & visual warnings if voltage or signal strength is getting too low.
Numerous other details can be dispayed, such as: GPS location, speed, altitude, Fuel level, current, etc., with additional sensors attached to the receiver. Contact me if you're interested in these additional sensors.

Back of radio
Back view of radio. Completely stock looking, no holes or modifications to the outside.
Here you can see the FrSky DJT Tx module. All modules sold with the 9X are modified for on-screen telemetry display through the 5-pin interface. The DJT module can still be used on other radios without this modification, however you will not have the on-screen telemetry in that case.

ER9X Version Display
Here's a view of the version of firmware of ER9X. Note that your radio may have a different version depending on what is available at the time of production.
However, I can pre-load any version you want, if you don't want the latest - just leave me a note at checkout.

Battery Compartment and USBASP Programmer Connection
In this photo you can see the recessed USBASP programmer connection. This is a recent improvement which allows any battery to be used. The stock battery holder for 8xAA can be used, or I highly recommend the 3S Lithium pack.
Note: Due to shipping restrictions, international orders cannot have any Lithium batteries.

USBASP Programmer included
This is the USBASP programmer that I am including. I test each one by using it to program each radio. Your programmer may differ slightly from this model, but most of them look exactly like this. The cable is also included and can be stored in the battery compartment if you're using the li-ion pack. When you program or backup to/from your 9X, there is no need to turn the radio on. It will be powered by the programmer. There are complete instructions on doing this on the internet, see note below:
NOTE: The driver for this is the trickiest part... When you insert it into your PC, it may install a driver, but most likely, it will NOT be the correct driver that we need. Please follow the instructions in this pdf document: http://er9x.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/doc/Flashing%20the%209x.pdf and you should be ok. I will post a short tutorial if there is a demand for it. Use the dedicated 9X flashing program and model editor "eePe" to make life really easy.

Finally, the Big Box!
Yep, this is the box everything comes in... Well, two things...the Modified Tx and Rx and FrSky equipment. All 9X documentation and instructions are online.
