Overview
Built
around frequency-agile DSMR technology, the SR515 receiver delivers superb range
and response, especially in noisy RF environments where a solid 2.4GHz link is
crucial. Not only is the 2.4ghz link solid, this model also implements our
lightning fast 5.5ms frame rate, providing a quicker , low-latency connection
for the pro-level enthusiast.
The
SR515 also features a new, modern case design that is small, streamlined, and
ready for nearly any RC application. The case also features added antenna
support and an integrated antenna tube slot for seamlessly easy installation.
No
more bind plugs! Instead, an easy-to-use bind button is used to enter the bind
mode. Plus, while binding, you have the choice of SmartSafe¢â as well as preset
¡®Gas¡¯ failsafe options. All combined, Spektrum gives drivers more features in an
affordable receiver, so you can drive with confidence.
Compact
Design
The
SR515 is capable of being placed in very small and tight builds. We eliminated
un-needed angles to streamline the receiver casing and to make installation
easier than ever before. The case also features added antenna support and an
integrated antenna tube slot for those custom models that do not provide a route
for the antenna installation.
Bind
Button
New
technology eliminates the need for the old bind plug. With The SR515 a
top-located button makes binding more convenient than ever while two
bind-sequence options make the process simpler by allowing you to bind while
powering up or after receiver power is connected.
Gas Mode
Failsafe
Built
into The SR515 is our newest failsafe mode for surface applications, Gas Mode
Failsafe. Easyily selectable during binding, Gas Mode allows users to preset the
failsafe position of all available channels. Additionally drivers can utilize
SmartSafe ¢â failsafe which drops throttle to the lowest point and holds the last
known command on the rest of the available channels.

Your
vehicles are extremely durable, why not your transmitter? The Spektrum¢â DX5
Rugged¢â 5-channel surface transmitter redefines radio control with a level of
durability to match the tough conditions off-roaders, bashers and boaters
encounter constantly. We started with a chassis based on the superb Spektrum
ergonomic design found on the popular DX5C and competition favorite DX5 Pro.
From there, we integrated cordless power tool feature ideas for the die-hard
punishment those products endure. The result is a class-leading RC system with
unmatched durability in addition to other innovative features that unite with a
level of precision, versatility and convenience you won't want to play without.
Molded
Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) bumpers surround the radio chassis to protect
it against drops, bumps and even a few bangs here and there. There's no external
antenna to snag or worry about—a low-profile ridge on the chassis protects the
robust high-speed signal output internally. A versatile front chassis guard
enhances durability further and provides mounting options for user-integrated
accessories such as a camera, light source or anything else. The pair of lanyard
mounting points gives drivers the ability to keep the transmitter close and gain
a free hand when not driving. An easy-access accessory compartment makes it
possible to can carry small tools, such as a T-wrench that smartly snaps into
the internal mount provided. We increased transmitter water-resistance to give
drivers peace of mind should there be an unexpected splash of water or some
drops of rain. Last, but not least, is an aggressive off-road style steering
wheel that expands its ruggedness even further, AND equipped it with an
innovative thumb-lever to make controlling your vehicle with one-hand safer and
more precise.
To
conquer the wild, the DX5 Rugged gives you 5-channel versatility and hosts an
array of auxiliary switches for lights, winches and more. Its interface features
an innovative capacitive-touch control panel that offers a greater resistance to
moisture and is easy to use. Simply slide your finger over the control panel and
tap to select the menus, options and values on the easy-to-read LCD display.
Integrated telemetry and Smart telemetry capability** allows you to view vital
data such as motor RPM, vehicle speed, battery voltage and temperature right on
the transmitter in real-time.
No
matter what you're driving, the AVC¢ç
technology programming capability in the DX5 Rugged can be easily tuned meet
your skill level or driving style with control that makes it feel like you're at
the wheel of a vehicle that handles predictably at every speed.

Unmatched
Durability
Starting
with a chassis based on a superb Spektrum ergonomic design, we were inspired by
the punishment capability of cordless power tools, and translated their die-hard
engineering to the specific needs of the RC driver. The result is a
shock-absorbing rubberized bumper design that surrounds the transmitter chassis
to form a level of protection never offered before on a surface
transmitter.
Aggressive
Styling
The
DX5 Rugged stands out as a transmitter platform that means business handling the
wildest terrain, the toughest conditions and fierce competition without any
worry. That's why we designed durability hand-in-hand with convenience. A
built-in side compartment offers tool storage, and two lanyard mounts (one
rubber, one molded into the chassis) are supplied so you can be hands-free in an
instant.
Inspired
Ergonomics
The
ergonomically-recognized DX5 Pro and DX5C transmitters paved the way in giving
the DX5 Rugged¢â a feel any driver could appreciate. Overall low weight offers
all-day driving with minimal fatigue, while the non-slip rubber grip and its
trigger-throttle action offer a precision experience that feels natural.
Versatile
Chassis Guard
We
built-in a front chassis guard to increase durability further and make it
possible for users to creatively self-integrate personal accessories and/or
features such as a camera or light source—the sturdy guard itself and its
mounting points are at your disposal.
Breakthrough
Steering Control
The
aggressive off-road steering wheel tread helps the precision of Spektrum
technology to also deliver a tactile feel even if you're crawling, bashing or
boating in harsh conditions. The integrated thumb-lever innovatively makes it
possible to steer one-handed safely and with a higher-level of
precision.
Capacitive
Interface
Toward
the matter of improving water-resistance the scroll wheel and buttons were
exchanged for a capacitive-touch sensing control panel that responds to the
simple touch of your finger. Sensitivity of the panel can be adjusted and a
large LCD display helps make navigating the intuitive software easy.

Frequency-Agile
DSMR¢ç
Technology
The
DX5 Rugged is built around frequency-agile, DSMR 2.4GHz technology. This
exclusive Spektrum¢â technology can be used in any type of surface application,
including boats. Its range and response, particularly in noisy 2.4GHz
environments, are superb. It's also backwards compatible with DSM2¢ç
and marine-specific Spektrum receivers. This means most longtime Spektrum users
can continue to use the receivers they have. They'll only need to upgrade if
they want the frequency-agility of a DSMR receiver for busy 2.4GHz
environments.
AVC¢ç
(Active Vehicle Control¢â) Programming
The
DX5 Rugged makes it possible to custom tune an AVC system by providing
easy-access to dedicated adjustments. In addition, open channels of the Rugged
can be used to adjust the AVC steering and throttle systems independently. No
matter what you're driving, AVC technology can easily meet your skill level or
driving style with control that makes it feel like you're driving a finely tuned
vehicle that handles predictably at every speed.
