lol the new is never cheaper than the old, is this a good controller?
Fair point 😆. I pulled the trigger on one when the price dropped. So far I really like it I have 8 cars and the Pro Moto bound to it. The screen is nice and bright in sunlight. Car set up is super easy, battery last a long time. No major complaints yet.

I saw your DM and i'm glad Horizon hasn't completely abandoned the concept. I guess i better start saving up my pennies soon. I just got in the parts needed for my Outcast so i'll be fine for awhile unless something major happens.

I hope you can get one, I know you've been wanting one since they came out.

That's true, There's something about having a touchscreen radio i just really love the concept even it's very expensive. Although i like my DX6C it's a great radio although having scroll wheel and the small screen with small text. I sure hope i can still have a chance at getting this new model but it doesn't come out until August so if i start saving by next month i might have a chance by the time the new is released to the public.
 
I'll fall down if its cheaper. 🤣
I'm glad there are options for you guys again tho! 😎
We'll just have to wait and see, Although it'll probably be a decent amount more since Tariff's hit but hopefully for me it won't be too far out of reach especially if i start saving up by next month and be frugal until it comes out. But who knows we'll know once they announce pricing hopefully it won't too much more than the new M17S or the older 10PX.
 
I been having some issues getting my receiver to bind. Such an annoying issue lol
I had that issue with on of my cars, I increased the distance with iXSR and car and it connected.

Something like that happened with my old RC8X but never happens with my DX6C. But i did hear in a video that when you're binding\rebinding a receiver to keep it about a yard apart or so and it will most likely bind right up.
 
So August of this year there's going to be a replacement for the ixsr? Just ordered one now thinking maybe I should return it and wait for the new one to come out... any thoughts?

can you wait 4 months for it? whats it do that your current model ( one talking about returning) doesn't, and are those features important to you? i personally have the patience of a 2 year old on sugar... id keep the ixsr, then when the new one came out id decide if i wanted those other features and gift the "old" model to a crawling bro that is still running stock trans/recievers. assuming the first one didnt cost an arm and a leg that is,
 
Not sure id gift it at 800$.... but will see I'll test the waters see if I like it if not then can return and wait. Just got so many arrma that could get extra recievers for my non arrma ones. Other controllers I'd need to sell all recievers and buy all the brand I get and would need like 7+ which adds up

Got so many options touch screen runs in android. Just tired of all these controllers I have wanted a nice one tried flysky and wasn't smooth and would've needed all recievers to link. Plus apparently this ixsr can connect to older recievers as well so that's a plus will be able to run everything off of it and then I have a dumbo rc ddf-350 I like that one actually really nice. But again wanted spektrum and didn't like the dx5 or dx6 wanted nice screen
