Spektrum Preset Model Files

for iX Transmitters

NAVIGATING THE SPEKTRUM FILE SHARE DRIVE

This drive utilizes Google’s robust file sharing platform, Google Drive. If you are not

familiar with it, there are dozens of tutorials and videos that Google and third-party groups have

produced that should help you understand the directory system.

These Files and Folders are for viewing and downloading only, you cannot upload or

change any aspect of any files and you only have access to what we want you to see. You can

also share the file location via a URL link with others via a link that is provided when using Right

Click on your mouse.

One helpful benefit to Google Drive is that it can directly link to your personal Google

Drive account. This is especially helpful for iX transmitter owners if they have the Google Drive

App installed on their iX transmitter. This allows you to access these files directly on and import

to your transmitter’s model list, right from your transmitter’s interface.

There is a search bar at the top that will allow you to search for the files you are looking for using

the models Item#, Name, file type, etc. If you wish to browse, the files are grouped in folders and

labeled appropriately for the device they are intended for. The search function can be refined

using filters and advanced search options. Please refer to Google tutorials and videos to learn

more about this function.

TIPS AND CROSS COMPATIBILITY

• For the best experience, make sure your transmitter is up to date, if it is not, you may get

errors when importing files

• DX8 Gen1 and DX7S (older silver face plate models) are not cross compatible with ANY

OTHER VERSION

• DX Gen2 model files can be used on all DX Gen2 Transmitters, as well as NX and iX

transmitters.

o NX and DX files can be imported to iX transmitter.

o iX files are only compatible with iX transmitters at this time.

• We are still building a fuller list of NX and IX model files, the DX files work well as an

alternative, but DX files do not import telemetry, voice, or custom model images to NX or

IX.
