STABILITY ASSIST RECEIVER

AVC – ACTIVE VEHICLE CONTROL™
®
The Spektrum receiver features Active Vehicle Control
similar to traction control in full-scale vehicles. In addition to traction control, AVC technology
also increases steering stability during high speed driving or while driving over rough terrain.
As you increase the AVC sensitivity, the system increases steering stability and traction control,
similar to reducing the amount of steering rate in a computer transmitter. Reducing the sen-
sitivity value increases the amount of steering control from the transmitter. The receiver also
enables you to quickly turn AVC on or off if you participate in organized racing.
IMPORTANT: You must use digital servos with the AVC receiver. Do not use analog servos as
they willl reduce the performance of the system and may cause overheating.

DRIVING PRECAUTIONS

• Maintain sight of the vehicle at all times.
• Routinely inspect the vehicle for loose wheel hardware.
• Routinely inspect the steering assembly for any loose hardware. Driving the vehicle
off-road can cause fasteners to loosen over time.
• Do not drive the vehicle in tall grass. Doing so can damage the vehicle or electronics.
• Stop driving the vehicle when you notice a lack of power. Driving the vehicle when
the battery is discharged can cause the receiver to power off. If the receiver loses power,
you will lose control of the vehicle. Damage due to an over-discharged Li-Po battery is
not covered under warranty.
CAUTION: Do not discharge a Li-Po battery below 3V per cell. Batter-
ies discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest approved voltage may
become damaged, resulting in loss of performance and potential fire when batteries are
charged.
• Do not apply forward or reverse throttle if the vehicle is stuck.
Applying throttle in this instance can damage the motor or ESC.
• After driving the vehicle, allow the electronics to cool before driving the vehicle again.
IMPORTANT: Keep wires away from all moving parts.

BEFORE RUNNING YOUR VEHICLE

1. Check for free suspension movement. All suspension arms and steering components
should move freely. Any binds will cause the vehicle to handle poorly.
2. Charge a battery pack. Always charge the battery pack as per the battery and/or
charger manufacturers' instructions.
3. Set the transmitter steering trim. Follow the instructions to set the steering trim/subtrim
so that the vehicle drives straight with no input to the steering.
4. Perform a Control Direction Test.

CALIBRATING THE RECEIVER
1. With the vehicle on a flat, level surface, insert the Bind Plug in the BIND port on the
receiver.
2. Connect a fully charged battery pack to the ESC.
3. Power on the ESC. The orange LED flashes, indicating the receiver is in bind mode.
4. Center the ST TRIM and TH TRIM dials on the transmitter.
5. Press and hold the BIND button while powering on the transmitter.
6. Release the BIND button when the orange LED slowly flashes. The transmitter and receiver
are linked when the orange LED is solid.
7. Pull the transmitter trigger to Full Throttle.
8. Push the transmitter trigger to Full Brake, then return the trigger to center.
9. Turn the transmitter steering wheel to Full Right.
10. Turn the transmitter steering wheel to Full Left, then return the steering wheel to center.
The orange LED flashes once.
11. Remove the Bind Plug, then power off the receiver to save the settings.
12. Power off the transmitter.

POWERING ON THE VEHICLE

1. Center the ST TRIM and TH TRIM dials on the transmitter.
2. Power on the transmitter.
3. Remove the body from the vehicle.
4. Connect a fully charged battery pack to the ESC.
5. Power on the ESC.
IMPORTANT: The vehicle MUST remain on a flat, level surface and motionless for at least 5
seconds.
AVC SENSITIVITY
®
The ST RATE dial adjusts the sensitivity, or stability, value in the receiver. If you increase the
sensitivity, the AVC system becomes more sensitive to the vehicle drifting left or right. You
®
would use maximum sensitivity during high speed driving or drag racing, when you want the
vehicle to stay in a straight line. As the sensitivity value increases, the amount of
steering travel decreases.
Turn the ST RATE knob counter-clockwise to reduce the sensitivity.
Turn the ST RATE knob clockwise to increase the sensitivity.
IMPORTANT: The ST RATE knob will only adjust the sensitivity when the
transmitter is bound to a DSMR
