That looks nice. But personally, my mind would always be somewhere along the lines of "don't drop this transmitter", or "don't set this on the ground while I'm checking my car". Not to mention after I get a car set up the way I like, I pretty much never change it again.
Hall effect is honestly the biggest feature of them all. It’s definitely contributing to the price. The traditional system is called ALPS. It’s actually got a very convenient RC parallel. ALPS are essentially brushed systems. They use potentiometers with brushes that physically wear down over time. Poorly made ones will give false positives, which is the leading cause of stick drift on gaming controllers. Hall effect sensors are the brushless motors of controller sensors. They use magnetic fields to determine the position and have no parts that physically touch to wear out. They’re also more precise than ALPS.
I’ve bound this to my XRT, X-Max, SCX6 and a few others. It’s one radio to rule them all IMHO. Yea, it’s expensive but I see a lot of wasted money on unnecessary mods too, but to each their own. It’s a phenomenal radio, hall sensors with outstanding features. It’s’ a win after using it for a couple of weeks.
No it's not going to use the same app as the dx6r according to nick malato. This is his answer Raquel Vz the Verdi of Raceware is used is specific to the iXSR. And it will be updated when we have new stuff to add to it…
Nice Mark, I'm glad to see Spektrum came back out with a high end race capable radio and i'm now planning on getting one and starting to convert to Spektrum TX\RX next year although it's extremely expensive radio. My last TX was a Radiolink RC8X which i had big hopes for but ended in disappointment and wasted money i could have used to get either an Arrma Vendetta or a DX5C.
Great video, Mark...as one would expect...and, I'm sure it'll sell well. But, for that price, there are equally-good options for less money. I even paid less for my Futaba 7PX. For anyone who's "locked themselves" into the Spektrum SMART ecosystem, this is virtually guaranteed to "check off all their boxes". But, for half the price, one can get the FlySky Noble Pro+...and, for 1/3 the price, they could get the FlySky Noble NB4+, or RadioMaster MT12. Not saying the iXSR isn't good...just that other equally good, more 'universal' (ie. not "SMART ecosystem"), less expensive options exist. Again, I'm sure it'll sell well...but, whether, or not, it sells as well as Spektrum is banking on remains to be seen.
I quit spektrum radios when a firmware update for my dx6 caused a circuit to blow out. I called to see if they could help me out and they offered to let me pay to ship it and pay to have it repaired! For $700 I got a lot of other things I'd rather do. Plus ever try using a touch screen in the rain? It sucks.
Im happy with my Radiomaster MT 12😂. Its basically a Android tablet. Love the features but i will pass but hey if I was offered a free one dang right i would use it 😂
Looks like my old dx6r but in a noble case. Not sure if this will replace my dx5 pro and rugged. You should only need the 5.5 for 2 ch racing. Bashing or crawling with telemetry the 11 is plenty.
You know a rugged version of this will come soon and cost a band. 😂….cool idea but the price tag is insane. Only thing missing on it is cell phone service.
@@dennisoneil1160 check out the MT12 from RadioMaster for $130, and the just came out with their two axis gyro on board (MT12 TX) I just ordered mine for a pan and tilt on a FPV SCX-6
That price point is shockingly high. There’s too much competition from the likes of Radiomaster and Flysky that make great controllers with the same pro features for half the price to be asking $700.
Shoot I wish I can't afford that one forreal for real 699.99 plus the 60 bucks for the warranty that costs more than a TV and my monthly rent my guy lol great remote though lol😂
Mark, you didn't see their previous version, looked almost identical..i have the older version and went through the manual of this Only difference is the lights on outside some cosmetic changes and new updates to the operating system, such as launch control and the ability to use the promoto ..
I was extremely skeptical about the price before I watched this, but now I sort of understand. It’s basically a radio with a whole phone on it. I might sell my phone and just use the radio😂
I know u said that was gunna be ur new race radio,ur gunna add a bunch of cars to that radio🤣🤣what i think that i would do is if i had the money,id have one for all my race cars on one,crawlers on another,and like what do u do with all those traxxas radios,cause ive noticed u use and or add alot to a race radio instead?? Love to see the remote collection🤣🤣great video mark....hows the garage rearrange goin...lol
I like some of my Spektrum radios so am no hater but for that price I would not be happy with 6 channels and that plasticky look. Doesn't look a patch on the build quality of a Noble tbh for tons more money. Kinda like the novelty of it having android, but would also be slightly wary about whether that could cause signal issues if android misbehaves, depending how it's been designed between the TX module itself and the android integration.
A lot of folks around here say the same thing but they seem to have 4 or 5 $100-200 radios. Personally I prefer quality over quantity and being able to bind 250 models, I should be good. I agree the price is high, but ya’ll act like we don’t spend that “modding” perfectly acceptable RTRs before we even drive them.
They want Sanwa money for this? Is it anywhere close? It definitely does not look like it's worth that kind of money with that cheap plastic appearance. The NB4 Pro might also be a direct competitor to this.
It's a fail for me... I have many Spektrum radios, have been a happy user for nearly 2 decades... I hope the DX5 Pro stays around or gets a refresh eventually, but I DO NOT want a touch screen android interface... No thanks, for 700 I'll buy a 4PM plus, or MT-5, a couple extra receivers, and dinner... Cheers
Not a 700 dollar radio… i just got the fly sky nb4+ for 260 and ordered a case for $28…. Unless you’re a team driver what average racer can afford this?
MUST BE NICE that money seems to be no object for us RC guys these days. Who do these manufacturers think is out here?!?! RC is not a middle class hobby any more
They were trying to come out with this like 5 or 10 years ago. Super low latency. A few folks got theirs hands on it. I tried to find one. Kinda mad they come out now after I bought a futaba. Pffft. Spectrum has always been wanky. Never consistent with their releases.
That’s right up there with the refrigerator ordering milk!

If your ESC supports Bluetooth programming, you can now program it right from your transmitter.
That's a nice remote man I hope you win a bunch of races with it
Dude you can have it! for $699.99 that's crazy

ALPS isn't a "system"... It's a brand of potentiometer, and a very good one at that.
Hah, you were just so excited about getting the DX6!
Vogel has it too..
Awesomeness and wicked cool.
Love MSM
Maybe I’m in the minority, I’d rather play with the car not the radio
Horrorizon selling disposable trash again🤮🤮🤮🤮
Yeah, after you wait a minute for it to power up 😑
Well how are you gonna play and do trim with your fancy rc if you don’t have a fancy radio?

Most rtr radio have throttle and steering trim, all I need

It should come with at LEAST 12 channels for THAT price!

I'll keep my futaba 10px I bet you will to mark in the future...BET?!
Figured it had a camera on it somewhere lol
Damn that's pretty pimp. 😮
Its nice for sure but I think I would choise a noble over anything else right now for value and functionality.

you have to race to use it as your race radio!
I’d love to switch my flysky radios to those but I’m sure those coast an arm an a leg.
Thats really cool but to much for me. Kind of want you to look at The Flysky Noble if im not mistaken on the name.
30 seconds for a full startup => no way.
That radio looks 🔥🔥🔥
If it had a camera on the front to record a video and upload to your radio that would be awesome.

Your not the only youtuber to get this and make a video
It’s Spektrum’s attempt to answer to the RadioMaster MT12, $130usd. I’m switching all of my cars and trucks to my MT12 running Express LRS protocol.
WOW still rocking my dx3r😂
Bro! Oh hell no! 700 bucks what a joke! 🤣👍
Looks good, but 700, I'm not saying is not worth it, I'm just saying it's way up there.
They want $800 for that radio Mark😳… I still ordered mine. It’ll be here in August…
Mark have you figured out that not only can you put model names, but you can also put pictures in the model select screen?
Nice 😂
A hobby is a hobby. If we enjoy it enough we’ll buy anything that looks cool or is neat. It’s just the way god made us 😂
I would bye it but $600 na I stick to my dumbo rc

You know I think futaba will step up thier game and just make a raidio that your phone actually mounts to just a guess
Forgot to say that its sad that receivers were compatible with each other,cause at $70+ a pop, it adds up when u dedicate one remote for ten cars..😱😁😁
I don’t need a phone anymore 😂
You’re gonna need a screen protector for that. XD
700 freaking dollhers for something a RadioMaster 1/3rd the price can do propably even better
u can literally pull up the liverc feed and watch it while ur driving 😭
can you do Android pay with the Spektrum IXSR??
Mark, how did it happen to have your ultra secure wireless password, right out of the box?
Jesus did they pay you for this. Free advertising
I was extremely skeptical about the price before I watched this, but now I sort of understand. It’s basically a radio with a whole phone on it. I might sell my phone and just use the radio😂
Exclusively on all rc channels 😅😅😅😅
My thoughts exactly. I’ve already multiple other channels exclusively reviewing this transmitter. 😂
Can you launch rockets with it lol
Think ill stick to wanting the noble nb4
I'd spend that money on a car any day before i ever did for that

Reminds me of another transmitter
700 dollars.
700 DOLLARS.
Just get an MT12 and be done with it.
Ridiculous they price it so high the average guy will never see it.
The average guy will never afford a Traxxas XRT 8S either, but I'm sure they're selling plenty.

Nice and all but not for $700
Just wait till you see some dude in the pits with his radio up to his ear, talking to someone on the phone with it.... 🤨
I can buy a Futaba and 5 six channel recevers for less than the cost of this unit.

Too hi tech for what I do!!!
would rather buy 10 gt5 radios for that price! i dont need android commercials on my rc radio thank you. way overpriced for what it is.
Hard pass on this one. Take away the phone and flashlight a Rlaarlo CT08 does the same thing for $39. And they are 8 channel, not 6.
