What Spektrum publishes for the NX8

The NX8 is a controller, filed in controllers inside RC, drones and radio. Figures in the spec table come from the dated Spektrum page named above, not from another publisher and not from an inferred test.

Spektrum lists battery as 2000 mAh Li-Ion listed; frequency as 2.4 GHz DSMX; channel as 8 channels listed; certification as FCC listed.

The Amazon button is the purchase path for this page. It does not make Amazon the specification source. Where the maker page and the listing disagree, the maker page wins and the conflict is treated as a gap rather than averaged.

Does the published battery of the NX8 decide a purchase?

Only as a published number. Spektrum lists battery 2000 mAh Li-Ion. That is useful for comparison against other controllers that publish the same field. It is not a measurement taken for this review, and this page gives the product no score.

Where to buy the NX8, and the price

The Amazon button opens ASIN B08N2QK1M4, listed at about $349 on 10 September 2026. Treat the price as a snapshot. Commission on the outbound link is disclosed above the button.

What is missing from the NX8 spec sheet

The table still names a gap: tx power. Those cells read as not published. Filling them from a retailer bullet would break the sourcing rule.

The price of $349 was checked on 2026-09-10. Treat it as a snapshot and use the Amazon button for the current figure.

Questions

Why does the NX8 have no score?

Nobody at PickBadger has handled the NX8, so there is no assessment to put a number on. This page records the specifications Spektrum publishes on its own dated product page and names the figures it leaves out. A score appears only when a named reviewer can state the basis for it.

How much does the NX8 cost on Amazon?

This page recorded about $349 on 10 September 2026. That is a snapshot, not a live quote. The Amazon button opens the listing used here, in a new tab, with rel sponsored nofollow. The ASIN recorded is B08N2QK1M4. Check the listing before you buy. Commission is disclosed above the button.

What specs does Spektrum publish for the NX8?

Spektrum publishes battery 2000 mAh Li-Ion on the dated source named in the spec table. That is a maker figure, not a measurement taken for this review. Neighbouring numbers absent from the table stay unpublished rather than being copied from another site.

What has Spektrum not published for the NX8?

The spec table marks tx power as not published. Those cells are left blank on purpose. Filling them from a retailer bullet or another publisher would break the sourcing rule this site is built on. The dated source is named in the spec table.

Has PickBadger tested the NX8?

No. This page is a sourced specification record, not a test, and it carries no score. It does not report handling, wear or measured performance. Figures come from the dated Spektrum page named in the spec table, and unpublished cells stay blank rather than being filled from another publisher.
