Spektrum iXSR Discontinued

[CJSRCLIFE]

Wow! You've got some nice stuff! I will send you some pictures this weekend of a new arrma project I'm working on... getting close to getting it done. Would like to see what you think!

I have had a lot of cool cars over the years and i can't wait to see your new Arrma project when you post the pics.

I don't know why they discontinued it, I hope it's not because of tariffs but i hope they come out with another version of it soon.

I read somewhere that they were wanting to release a new version and releasing it in August.

Wound up pulling the trigger on the Radiomaster.Ability to service components and tons of adjustability. Programmed the 4 wheel steer for my Tamiya and the SCX10III dig and transmission. In the end decided it was better for bashing. In the process of binding and testing models.

How was it to program, set up etc???
I want one but still am nervous about the set up on it.
I won't be doing a lot of trick set up but some channel mixing (I think its called) to tone down steering as I reach top speed.

Where did you buy it?

Congrats!! Its a nice radio for sure!!!

Last i checked that was their plan but i'm not sure right now, I still want one this year but my gaming plans might interfere with getting my own iXSR by this year but who knows i might be able to get it. And right now my DX6C is still serving me well.

There is a steep learing curve but it is manageable. I bought the ELRS version with 4in1 module add from AMain. Lots of good content for programming on line. Mixes were used for Clod steering. Videos helped a lot.

Here's an update to breathe life in this thread that a good friend of mine started a few months ago. From what i've seen and know from my friend @RBRC the new model iXSR release has been pushed back until November 2025.

This is a screenshot from Spektrum's official website.

Me and my buddy hope that Horizon\Spektrum will make this November release timeline. I've already started saving up for mine and hope to be able to preorder it when it becomes available for preorder.

I am glad you will be buying 'V2' now.
You said in your new video when talking about buying your car, that you'd kinda wished you just waited and bought a V2...
I might even wait til reviews start coming in about them before I dropped that much $$$ on a radio. I know how excited you are to get your hands on one so I won't hold my breath on that one!
I hope it makes you happy after all this anticipation!!!
( I like your video too btw! )

Thanks for your kind words, I'm excited too hopefully Horizon\Spektrum will come out with it in November and i can make it an early Christmas\Birthday gift for myself and i can share my thoughts on both here on RCTalk and on YouTube. I've been waiting for this for almost over a year now hope it happens.

You have remained exceptionally focused on this radio. I really do hope your videos will be all joy!
I'll be watching them for sure!!!

I will say, I'll be a little bummed if the new one has new/better features.
It'll make me want to sell mine for the new version.
