SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
· Always ensure all batteries have been properly charged prior to using the
model.
· Always check all servos and their connections prior to each run. · Never
operate your model near spectators, parking areas or any other area
that could result in injury to people or damage of property. · Never operate
your model during adverse weather conditions. Poor visibility
can cause disorientation and loss of control of your model. · Never point the
transmitter antenna directly toward the model. The radiation
pattern from the tip of the antenna is inherently low. · If at any time during
the operation of your model you observe any erratic or
abnormal operation, immediately stop operation of your model until the cause
of the problem has been ascertained and corrected.
CHARGING WARNINGS
CAUTION: All instructions and warnings must be followed exactly. Mishandling
of Li-Po batteries can result in a fire, personal injury and/or property
damage.
· NEVER LEAVE CHARGING BATTERIES UNATTENDED. · NEVER CHARGE BATTERIES
OVERNIGHT. · By handling, charging or using the included Li-Po battery, you
assume all risks
associated with lithium batteries. · If at any time the battery begins to
balloon or swell, discontinue use immediately. If
charging or discharging, discontinue and disconnect. Continuing to use, charge
or discharge a battery that is ballooning or swelling can result in fire. ·
Always store the battery at room temperature in a dry area for best results. ·
Always transport or temporarily store the battery in a temperature range of
40120º F (549° C). Do not store the battery or model in a car or direct
sunlight. If stored in a hot car, the battery can be damaged or even catch
fire. · Always charge batteries away from flammable materials. · Always
inspect the battery before charging. · Always disconnect the battery after
charging, and let the charger cool between charges. · Always constantly
monitor the temperature of the battery pack while charging. · ONLY USE A
CHARGER SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO CHARGE LI-PO BATTERIES. Failure to charge the
battery with a compatible charger may cause a fire resulting in personal
injury and/or property damage. · Never discharge Li-Po cells to below 3V under
load. · Never cover warning labels with hook and loop strips. · Never charge
batteries outside recommended levels. · Never charge damaged batteries. ·
Never attempt to dismantle or alter the charger. · Never allow minors to
charge battery packs. · Never charge batteries in extremely hot or cold places
(recommended between 40 120° F (549° C)) or place in direct sunlight.

CHARGING
Spektrum LED · The LED will blink blue to indicate the
battery is charging. The LED will turn off when the unit goes to sleep. · An
orange LED indicates the transmitter is powered on and there is radio
transmission.
The iXSR has a charging base designed to charge the transmitters 4000mAh Li-
Ion Transmitter Pack at a charge rate of 400mAh. The first time you charge the
transmitter, the charge time may be 15-20 hours. Always charge the transmitter
on a heat-resistant surface.
Charging: 1. Either power off your transmitter or make sure the transmitter is
not
transmitting (NO orange LED). 2. Connect the AC power cable to the charging
base and connect the power
supply to a power outlet using the appropriate adapter. 3. Carefully set the
transmitter down onto the charging base. 4. The LED will blink blue to
indicate the battery is charging. The LED will turn
off when the unit goes to sleep. 5. Disconnect the transmitter from the
charging base once charging is
complete and disconnect the power supply from the power outlet. CAUTION: Never
leave a charging battery unattended. CAUTION: Never change the low voltage
limit for Li-Ion batteries below 3.3V. Doing so could over-discharge the
battery and damage both battery and transmitter.
Tip
The iXSR can be charged through the Micro USB port as well.

ANDROID OPERATING SYSTEM
RF Transmissioin: Closing the RaceWare application or opening a different
application and not re-opening the RaceWare application will turn off RF
transmission at the predetermined time limit (default is 5 minutes). Always
keep the RaceWare application open and visible on the screen while driving to
avoid losing RF transmission. To avoid this issue while using Applications
other than Raceware on the iXSR, the Sleep Mode time can be manually set from
15 seconds to NEVER in the System Settings. Go to Settings>Display>Sleep to
make the changes. Alternately if WiFi is turned on in System Settings, even if
it is not connected to a network, the RF transmission will not turn off.

· RPM · Temperature · RX Battery
AVC (ACTIVE VEHICLE CONTROL)
AVC® technology is available, only when an AVC capable receiver is selected.
Enable/DisableTurn AVC on or off. Steering GainThe default value is 50%. As
the value increases, the AVC steering stability increases. · If the front
wheels begin to shake, the ST Gain
value is too high. Reduce the ST Gain value until the front wheels stop
shaking.
Throttle GainThe default value is 50%. As the value increases, the throttle
management increases.
27
AVC (ACTIVE VEHICLE CONTROL)
PriorityThe default value is 0%, meaning AVC technology is active throughout
the steering range. As you turn the steering wheel away from center (neutral),
the transmitter controls have priority over the AVC system. Increasing the
Priority value decreases how active AVC is as the steering wheel is turned
left and right. For example, if you increase Priority to 80%, you reduce the
AVC steering control by 80% at full left or full right steering. Increasing
the Steering Priority enables you to make tighter turns.
BINDING
Binding is the Process of teaching the receiver the specific transmitter’s
code called GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) and storing failsafe values.
When a receiver is bound to a transmitter/model memory, the receiver will only
respond to that specific transmitter/model memory.
1. Tap the Desired Frame Rate drop down to select from 5.5ms, 11ms and 22ms.
· If 5.5ms frame rate is selected in the transmitter, only two channels,
Steering and Throttle, are operational. The Aux channels can be used to power
a personal transponder or lights. · If a frame rate other than 5.5ms is
selected, the Aux channels will operate as extra servo channels.
2. With the receiver in bind mode Tap the Begin Binding button.
IMPORTANT: Re-bind any time you change the frame rate in the transmitter.
28
DRIVE MODES
The current drive mode is always displayed in the top left corner of the 4
main screens. Every model can have several drive modes programmed to a switch
or button for on-the-fly adjustments. Once a drive mode is selected, Changes
to model setup, trim and timers will only effect that drive mode. · Tap the
ON-the-Fly Button drop down to select a
button or switch to enable instant mode changes. · Tap on the Drive Mode
button to change the drive
mode name · Tap on Flag Color to change the color of the Drive
mode banner. · Tap on Delete to delete drive modes (there must
be at least 1 drive mode). · If more than 1 drive mode, tap on the arrow
buttons to order the list.
