Overview

SE—Special Edition…And Serious Edge

Take the already groundbreaking features of Spektrum’s DX7 radio system, including the unmatched clarity of DSM2™, ModelMatch™ and ServoSync™…then take it to the next level specifically for cutting edge heli pilots. The result is the DX7se. It’s about way more than looks.

The Search for Speed Stops Here

The DX7se takes Spektrum’s already incredible speed and gives it a shot of adrenaline. Combining an 11ms frame rate with a latency range that’s 50% less than our nearest competitor delivers the absolute fastest air radio on the market with the most consistent response. And that low latency range is attributable directly to Spektrum’s unique DSM technology. In the pursuit of even more precise control, heli pilots are looking for an extreme link between their radio systems and control surfaces, and the DX7se offers just that. No other radio system has a lower latency, resulting in a responsiveness that is nearly telepathic without compromising the RF link quality.

Resolution—It Means More than Clear Pictures

The DX7se boasts ultra-high 2048 resolution, providing precision to go along with its unprecedented speed. What does that doubled resolution mean for you? It means the most precise feel you could possibly imagine from a radio system.
The increased resolution of the DX7se makes the difference between standard control and gliding smoothness, eliminating any notched feelings or hesitation. Control inputs and responses are so smooth, you’ll swear that you’re flying on a hard-wired connection. And all of this with the incredible range and interference-free control of Spektrum™ DSM2.

The Speed You Need

One thing is undeniable—if you want the fastest response time and lowest latency for your high-performance heli setup, the DX7se is the only system to choose. Take the controls and see for yourself. Only Spektrum can offer this connected feel.

Two tasty arrivals there Barney, Looking like very nice hardware both pieces.

[richieclarkie]

But at a cost!

Quoted as $199 per servo!

[barney]

As Mr Clark spotted...at a cost...££££'ssss..OUCH but they do look pretty

[raptorheli2]

who is going to be the first to confirm thats the same servo as a normal 8915/8717 but with a metal case for heat. i think the public have done JR a big favour here and they have thought ummmmmmm. new case, add $60 and away we go.

cheers

ROFL
I know which servos I would buy.
You can get the originals that are not warranted off a 2 cell lipo,
but we all know work perfectly well on that voltage (unless you are a JR salesman).
or you can pay twice the price for what is almost exactly the same thing in a tin box. The normal 8717 already has a metal centre case heat sink.

Meanwhile we can also pay extra for a Tx that reduces the almost non existant latency.
I'd sooner still have a buddy capability so I can use the tx on the sim thank you very much! I don't care that my spektrum is now 0.00000001 slower than the new Futaba that I have no intention of buying!
