it's absolutely disheartening to see so many channels go out of their not to state the obvious issues with the pricing on this thing. Just reading the comments there's very clearly a disconnect with what the reviewers are saying and what people actually think of it in terms of value. It unfortunately says a lot about the integrity of some of the channels in this community.
Looks nice and the screen is amazing and very responsive. Looks like it has great features when using with Spektrum gear. But for the price I prefer the Radiolink RC8X with FPV. Your videos are the best and you are always are very enthused about all the products and everything you do. Keep it up bro! I miss living there and running woth you guys!
Maybe it won’t sell good and they’ll drop price 500 I take one . 700 it’s like I should’ve had 7px all along people forget marketing is all about the people after us , it’s not about us people who already set in there ways . This is what the newbies will have for next 10 years if we like it or not and the next one you have your ring cameras auto start for car and garage opener 😂
I love my 10PX I'm still learning how to use it been a Futaba guy for years and I thought well why not try out the latest radio from them very happy with it. Spektrum stuff has always felt cheaply made and I'll never forgive them for what they did to JR Propo. It's too bad JR isn't what it used to be. I loved my JR radios as well.
Shrinkflation it been nicer if it was 500 , I wonder how they figure out profit margins , at 500 even 600 you’re going to sell substantially more . At 700 only reason I wouldn’t get the futaba is RTRS and already having the receivers of course the android is cool . But I tell you RC is back to being expensive , than the better value is with kits , the should’ve brought under 700 at all cost imo even 689
Love all the comments. Yeah this is a miss! Obviously only for race buggies…. But someone who has a Losi 8ight 2.0 buggy… all their parts are always out of stock. So this is just a bs cash grab.
Wow looks like Spektrum stepped up their game big time. I have an RC8X but it's starting glitch and act up so i might look into a Spektrum either this iXSR or a DX6C next year as i have started to learn that a high quality radio is more reliable and works better. Before i bought the Radiolink i looked at a used DX6R but was unaware this was coming up or another radio like the DX6R.
@@RodThibault-qe4hu I think it has similar firmware but maybe updated to suit this new transmitter i looked at getting a DX6R once and was able to find a used one but didn't pull the trigger. And instead i bought the most unreliable radio i've ever owned the Radiolink RC8X it sometimes makes me wish i bought at least a DX5C or waited until this new iXSR came out. I have plans to buy this new iXSR early next year and the many receivers for it to eventually replace my RC8X.
What an expensive POS!!! We already have a phone in our pocket to check our email...why do we need to pay for that feature on an RC transmitter? That money should have been put towards waterproofing and on other features that people actually want.
Does your phone control your race rigs? Does it map the channels on your crawlers? If so, you should post us all a link so we can all have that amazing phone. It's ok tho, this Tx isn't for everyone. Experts like you won't need this for their high end traxxas race rustlers right? You have your high-end prepaid android phone.
Looks like they are playing catch-up. There is nothing new here to see. If you are savvy you can save big bucks by buying a 130.00 Radiomaster MT12. If you like shiny touch screens at the start screen buy into this this is for you! Great Hype building up to release but this is sub-par
MOST reviewers have to show it & very few are allowed to leave neutral-bad review feedback. After a few bad reviews, their 'sponsorship privileges' are revoked. I've seen this happen with tail heavy.
@@old-rcplane-phart as long as they are sponsored, they can't say anything bad without getting dropped from the sponsorship . I understand free stuff is cool to receive . But I rather be honest and not sponsored
Why is it nobody is opening up the Android settings and checking out the Android system on this radio? To me, that's the most important thing to look at. What version of Android is on this radio?
The software and UI is exactly the same as the garbage dx6r besides the launch control. Spektrum could never figure out the android stuff and eventually just stopped supporting it. Deja Vu. It's very obvious when a reviewer is given a sample of this radio.
I really like it. I think it'd be a great radio. So is my Dumbo. The extra stuff would be cool but if i don't like a stock radio i stick a dumbo receiver in and call it a day. I'm just not a good enough driver to buy a $700 radio system. I've got complete rigs that didn't cost that much, lol.
Personally, this looks just like the old one they made! The OS and all. Even the icons and colour! I think they are trying to get a return on the cost of making this UI and OS from the OG! If they sell enough of these, they can close this file with the corporate account trying to get it back into the black. Looks cool. I’m sure it is. But I no need for an android system on my remote! To each their own.
BUY A RADIOLINK RC4GS FOR $64. DO NOT! DO NOT! BUY THIS!!! You could build a vrd or buy a losi baja rey 2.0 instead. You don't need to get email's on your rc radio! Unless you like interuptions while you drive.
Way to expensive, will stick to my 2 nobles and gt5 as they are better,and i refuse to buy from horizon hobbies and i hate spectrum stuff i dont think any thing they sell is any good thisbis a big no from me
Rear steer on a knob that doesn't self center is a horrible idea. Think about it. Ever try steering anything that doesn't self center? Ever try a racing game using a mouse to steer? SUCKS!!
A😂 you guys are mostly crawlers , is anyone pulling up ⬆️ to the track with a 70$ radio ? Or a RTR radio seriously? I like to believe it’s the driver , I can drive but Adam drake is still going whip me with a rtr
I’m rough on my radios because I can be , tactic radio one ☝️ of my favorite 🤩 I’ve left it out in the rain ect . Exo “ love for flysky gt5 and it’s cool I appreciate it being easy to set up even though keep forgetting it has a gyro I never used . The receivers are dirt cheap , the performance . I just don’t like the feel the spring tension a little light .
This is pretty cool the smart tech I didn’t even think about that I just wish performance was good as futaba if going spend 700 I like that I have atleast 10 receivers already an
Great review Joe. I was going to upgrade to a DX6 Rugged for my outside cars/trucks/cycle. Probably sell my Rugged and get this. I love my DX5 Pro too. Maybe for my birthday.
Don't buy this radio!!! It is only worth $350-$450. Buy a futaba radio if you want to spend $700 dollars on a radio. I suggest a radiolink rc4gs($64) or rc6gs or a rc8x. The receivers for these radios are cheap and you can put 30 rc's on a rc4gs. If you get a rc4gs you could also get a losi baja Rey 2.0, or build a vrd or a Phoenix
This is why the hobby is dying and so limited, they are put of touch with the economy and it people who support them. $700 for trash, this coming from spektrum dx6r owner which i still use and going to a different radio

Ai comment much???? 🤣🤣
Idk if my transmitter needs gmail... I rc to get away from the world lol. It's real nice, but maybe over the top haha.
Sorry I can't RC today my transmitter got a virus😢
Happened a lot on my ix20se! Android tx isn't a good idea
Ill stick with the DX5 Rugged lol. I straight up cant afford a radio this expensive, and if I could, I would buy Futaba.
my thoughts exactly. the $300 Radio link or the Flysky smart transmitters are looking like my options.
MT12 $150
700.00 for a 6 channel radio, are you kidding me? I’ll stick my DX5 Pro, RadioLink RC8X and RadioMaster MT12.
The last one they made that was android was trash
Yes it was. I owned it. I’d never buy a radio like that again from spektrum.

700 bucks what a steal!
😂
It's got a flashlight on the front though!!
You can call 911 actually looks like people will hit by accident 😂

Probably worth about $100.
Looks like the old DX6R I wasted money on. It took them that long to fix software and spec an updated chip for Android??
Leave it up to Spectrum to put a 700$ transmitter out when you can buy an MT12 that does all that excluding the fancy screen and internet… 140$
Yea but does it feel like it cost 100 bucks ? I like the flysky gt5 but does feel cheap
@@RcPlayer-tt2vwmt12 feels extremely solid.
I’m going to stick with my radiomaster mt12
If you can order parts an pizza to the track with it,its a win👍
A Futaba 10px is similar price. No freaking way am I dropping that kind of cash for a Spektrum product.
I love my 10PX I'm still learning how to use it been a Futaba guy for years and I thought well why not try out the latest radio from them very happy with it. Spektrum stuff has always felt cheaply made and I'll never forgive them for what they did to JR Propo. It's too bad JR isn't what it used to be. I loved my JR radios as well.
And every reviewer gets one. Same day, too. Appreciate the progression in our Hobbys & your enthusiasm but,this Economy negates the need or wants.
Just in time for economy to turn around 😂

Something to compete with futaba. But the px10 (🤷♂️) is established
I will definitely be dipping into my kids' college fund for this one. I'm sure the wife won't mind.

Drop it once on the rocks and watch 700$ be useless
My first Ford pickup was $600.00....
🤣🤣🤣🤣...700 bucks...does it come with a TOF package?
YOU are phenomenonal
Horizon is smoking crack for that price with those features!🤣🤣🤣🤣🙄
I honestly don’t get why these remotes are so pricey .
Cause people like me like dope shit.
@SIRICKO I guess
From a dx6r owner I implore you DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!!
They copied Radiomasters playbook and jacked the price x5, and it will still only run Spektrum stuff
So what’s different from the DX6R
Looked at the price and stopped watching the video, all the features of a $250 radio at 3x the price
That is the Spektrum brainwashing lol

very impressive, great review, thanks for posting
That should cost $350. At $700 it should be plated in gold
Way to expensive, and I run a noble transmitter lol. Worth $300 tops.
It should be plated in gold for that price
Yes, that’s exactly what I want my controller to have Internet access on an operating system that can get it infected. 🤦♂️Absolutely not!
Did Spektrum give it to you for free? Lol
Otherwise I feel it would be a bad way to waste $700
You know they did . They just revealed it today and he has it.

Yea but u get a free Pitmat if u order now. Better get 2. 😂
$ 700.00........ I have one truck it came with a radio. I NOW think it is awesome.
What’s a good aftermarket remote for the TRX4 with locking front and rear diffs ?
Is this a joke 😂 you just watched a video, if you’re on a budget gt5 is great and everyone loving this my12

Yes I watched the video but I’m not spending that kind of money on it
get a radiolink rc6gs. It is easy to program and it has great switches for the lockers
I love the Tesla wheel

It doesn't even imo
This is a terrible release, will be a big flop
did anybody actually ask for this
Maybe an Arab sultan?
I just got DX3 . I dont like the dx6
Spektrum is either incredibly incompetent or criminally predatory.
Money hungry
Spectrum survives buy nailing the newbie and the loyal
👍😁😎✌️
Get an MT 12 Radio Master is BETTER
It's just a DX6R
Will it sync with my rugged to download the cars?
Oof makes me like spektrum doesnt care about its customers anymore
