Spektrum DX5 Rugged DSMR, SR515

Do you have your off-road RC model and need a durable and well-programmed steering wheel transmitter ? The Spectrum DX5 Rugged DSMR is undoubtedly the right transmitter. Its cabinet is protected from impact by softened rails around the perimeter, the transmitter has an internal antenna, a snap ring, a robust steering wheel and a large lever under the steering wheel for thumb control. Of course there is intuitive software.

The molded polyurethane (TPU) circuit boards of the lower and upper parts of the transmitter housing protect the transmitter from unwanted shocks and to a large extent the moisture resistance has been increased. The transmitter can be hung on a strap, the loop on the top of the transmitter is used for this, so you can hang the transmitter on your neck. There is even a small tool box on the side of the transmitter. The water resistance of the internal electronics wires and the entire transmitter housing has been increased.

Spektrum DX5 Rugged RC transmitter has several auxiliary switches for lights, reels and other conveniences. An innovative touch control panel that offers greater moisture and dirt resistance is used to move the transmitter menu. Simply slide your finger on the control panel and click to select from the menu. Read the values on the easy-to-read LCD display. Integrated telemetry (the model must be equipped with a telemetry receiver such as the SR6000T) allows you to view real-time data such as engine speed, vehicle speed, battery voltage and temperature directly on the transmitter.

DSMR modulation

The DSMR modulation principle is similar to the DSMX modulation now used by Spektrum air transmitters. The signal transmission takes place in a spread spectrum spread out by direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) modulation. Only DSSS allows you to properly demodulate the signal even if another device is broadcasting on that channel (WiFi, BlueTooth, .. .). The DSMR uses 23 random channels from a total of 80 available channels to pause randomly. Each transmitter has a different selection of 23 channels and a different pseudo-random sequence. This method ensures the best possible immunity to interference by both Spectrum transmitters and other devices operating in the same 2.4 GHz band. The advantage of DSMR modulation is that it can be used to control ships.

Spektrum DX5 Rugged RC transmitter has an impressive list of available mixes for all kinds of applications, not just racing. In addition to user-defined mixers, the transmitter comes with preset mixes that include dual gas, dual brakes, MOA 4 wheel steering and dual steering. Mixes can be switched, activated and edited. The transmitter menu is clear and intuitive, so if you have basic experience with transmitters, you will only need the manual a little.

Unbeatable durability

The design of the transmitter is based on the excellent ergonomics of the Spectrum transmitters.

Maximum functionality

In addition to the functional elements of the transmitter, there are also practical features such as a transmitter strap, a small tool box that you need to carry with you and an antenna hidden inside the transmitter cabinet so that it cannot be damaged.

Proven ergonomics

The Spektrum DX5 Pro and DX5C ergonomically proven transmitters have found their way to the Spektrum DX5 Rugged transmitter concept. Therefore, you have the ability to feel a non-slip grip that is comfortable to hold, a robust steering wheel and logically arranged auxiliary switches. In addition, the transmitter is lightweight and easy to handle.

One-handed control

An entirely new feature of Spektrum is the ability to control the transmitter with just one hand. For example, if you need to take a picture of a car while you are driving, and you don't have a camera colleague at hand, you can use a special steering control to control your thumb and gas with your index finger. This will release the other hand to take the picture.

Control panel

So far, a scroll button has been used as the control interface. This does not have much protection against moisture, so a panel with buttons was chosen for the DX5 Rugged transmitter, which can be protected against moisture ingress. The sensitivity of the panel buttons can be optionally set.

Easy to program

DX5 Rugged programming is simple. The intuitive interface makes it easy to navigate through menus and change settings quickly. For most programming functions you will not need a manual, the transmitter menu is set up logically and clearly.

Integrated telemetry

The built-in telemetry feature can offer real-time information about important values such as the battery voltage of your car, signal quality, engine temperature and more. By using the audible alert system, you can program the DX5 Rugged whether the set values reach or exceed the limits you define. Telemetry is functional with a receiver that allows telemetry, such as the SR6000T (sold separately).

5-channel receiver SR515 is included

The Spektrum SR515 DSMR Sport provides faster, low-delay connections and has a button pairing without the need for a pairing connector. New design with small dimensions and weight 6g, is ideal for installation in small cars. Choice of SmartSafe ™ or "Gas" Failsafe. The receiver does not have water protection

AVC® Programming (Active Vehicle Control ™)

The DX5 Rugged allows you to customize your AVC system by allowing access to dedicated edits. AVC technology uses sensors for steering and gas correction, resulting in smoother driving, stable level and cornering and safer tracking.
