Spectrum DX5c Completely EXPLAINED! Part 2

[@willmrx]

Just got a DX5 Rugged and found your video very helpful! You need to get paid by Spektrum for these videos on the DX5. Thanks again.

[@roytrumble9071]

This was so helpful. I upgraded to this radio from the dx3. I am using the Spektrum radios for oval mudboss racing and upon upgrading I went from running 63 laps at my local track down to 59-60 laps, all because I really didn’t know how to set up the radio. After watching this video I feel confident I will be able to set up this radio much better now, and get myself back to my regular 63 laps, or maybe even better👍👍😁

Thank you again for part 1 and 2!!! I would have been completely lost on how to fix my problem and would have made the mistake of buying a new ESC. Subbed and belled for all videos!!

[@ChrisNY86]

By far the best explanation I've seen yet to date on this transmitter. Thank you very much for covering almost all basic functions that the DX5C offers, cleared up alot of the confusion Ive experienced since I decided to make the transition from the many dedicated rtr radios I was using up until recently until converting the variety of different onroad/offroad rigs to operate solely on the DX5C/ dsm protocol and absolutely explained the somewhat overwhelming/poorly explained interface that spektrum designed great but failed to provide the proper instructions that certainly seems many users would greater benefit from if made available without contacting them directly. I myself have had some difficulty understanding the full extent to which this DX5C offers for such a large variety of different surface rc's although im much more confident that I'll be able to setup/tune/apply both optional as well as necessary settings to achieve better performance now in much less time thanks to you taking your time/knowledge to create such an informative"guide" in a way that has been more beneficial to me than any/all the rest(including spektrums own material). I appreciate your efforts to help all of us that haven't quite fully understood what the dx5c is infact capable of and how to properly implement these great features. Will be sure to share this with the many individuals that have had many questions that were addressed/answered here. Thanks again. 🍻

[@upgradedrc3697]

I have a dx5c and a dx5 rugged. On both you can only adjust the brake rate thru the menu on a trim switch. The drag brake is only adjustable thru the ESC. Adjust the drag brake first on the ESC , then adjust your brake rates with the trim switch F on the remote. I am assuming that the 2 different radios had the brake rates adjusted differently from the factory. Hope this helps.😎🤙

Part 1 was excellent! This is the most in-depth review on this Spektrum DX5C remote! Real quick in the utilities setting how do I erase one of them?

Also, in my setting menu and where it says calibrate, I clicked it and I have for STEERING - OK / ? / ? and then for my TRIGGER is set at ? / ? / OK. Do I need to rebind and and re calibrate my Trigger to match up with my STEERING?

I have two defeat spectrum DX6R and dx5c and I wish someone would do this for my DX6R

[@DirtSailor5]

Great series,. Quick AVC question. My RTR remote has a dedicated knob that probably controlled just the steering or priority. That's all I need. I would like to mimic that on the new remote. Should I assign the steering or priority to one of the trim buttons to replicate the AVC knob on my old remote.

[@upgradedrc3697]

If thats how you want to use it, ya set the button for priority. I set up my AVC for each vehicle on the remote independently and then only adjust when nesecary. And for my e revo i'm running 30% on my steering only with a priority of 90%. So, its almost nothing. But it does help me come out of the corners straight and on point though. But. AVC is bad for jumping don't use very much cause it tries to correct your steering in the air and you wreck

Thanks Dude 👍 this video helped a lot

[@marcusclements6877]

Great video man so I have a question so what is better for drag race should I turn off expo or leave it on and set it negative 4 or what’s best to set it

[@upgradedrc3697]

I'm thinking Neg 2 would be pretty aggressive. Neg 4 might be to uncontrollable for the launch, but if you can control the launch then Neg 4 would be your best bet. I would also turn the throttle travel up to 150%. I don't know how you are stopping, but turn your brakes down or it will be a violent stop ending up in a crash. And if you can adjust the timing on your motor up to 6%. Hope this helps, you will have to play with these adjustments to dial it in for the way you drive. Also set up your suspension for stiff in the rear so it won't squat and aborb all the power on your launch. Front should be medium. 🤙

Thank you for the video! I recently bought a DX5R Pro and a SR6200A receiver to upgrade my E-revo. I still have issues getting it to work properly. One of the problems is the brake seems to be super lite even though I'm at 100%? What did you use when you bound the receiver ? Brake rate of 100 or 0? Also, when you installed the receiver in the box - was it perfectly flat w.r.t the ground? The e-revo has a sort of a tilt in the case. I'm wondering if that affects the giro... Thanks a lot

[@upgradedrc3697]

100% forsure. The book says at least 80% when binding.

[@upgradedrc3697]

No , it does not affect the gyro if it is not perfect. When you bind and calibrate be on a level flat surface and the reciever recognizes that it is level even though your reciever is not perfect.

[@johngantner9314]

did you talk about how to set steering end points?

[@upgradedrc3697]

No.

[@robertbarcus1963]

Can u explain how to set the dial control on the back right side of the controller on the DX5pro for on the fly steering control trim , instead of going thru the menu and then setting the trim? The manual that came with the controller is somewhat lame and does not explain this! I am going to assume it can be set for on the fly trimming, but I am at a loss as the manual does not explain this.

[@upgradedrc3697]

The stock default button is B for the sreering trim. You can change this to any button that is not already assigned to something else. Adjust your steering trim one click at a time while driving slow in a straight line on flat ground. You will need about 30 feet. Hope this helps 😎👍🤙

[@WhiteKnightPoet]

I just discovered a conundrum concerning the SPEKTRUM MANUAL'S instructions about the need to re-set your car receiver's BINDING whenever you re-set the STR TRAVEL. I race on an OVAL track where my optimal Steering TRAVEL is only 70%, so I set my STR TRAVEL at 70% and my RC CAR corners perfectly using a maximum of 70% Steering travel on every corner. Now the SPEKTRUM MANUAL says to make sure that the STR and THR travel are set at ≥ 80% for correct BINDING, but it also says that you must re-set your binding every time you re-set your TRAVEL. However, if that was completely true, then after correct binding, you could never re-set your STR TRAVEL back down to any value less than 80% (or 70%, in my case) without immediately losing your BINDING, which would force you to re-set the STR TRAVEL back to ≥ 80% just so you could RE-BIND again, but as soon as you would try to re-set your STR TRAVEL to 70% again, you would lose your binding. So if what the manual says is completely true, then you could never set your STR TRAVEL at 70% without immediately losing your binding. Thankfully, I have been able to set my STR TRAVEL back down to 70% every time without ever losing my binding at all, so the warning about having to re-bind whenever you re-set your travel must be mistaken.

[@upgradedrc3697]

The manual says that you need to be at 80% to bind so that your AVC works properly, then you can set it back to whatever you want without rebinding

[@teribyteman]

I forgot to name my model when I first binded. If I add a model name now do I have to rebind? I am very new to the hobby, this video helped me uderstand my new transmitter. Thanks.

How do you set the aux 1 to operate a 3 position shifting servo got a Tamiya bruiser with no avc and a SR515?

Go to aux 1 and select the letter of the switch you want to use, then inhibit the cyclic and monetary. When you select the letter of the switch choose 3 position switch instead of 2 position. Thats it, it works great. You may want to adjust your travel on that switch so the servo doesn't go to far. And you can also set your speed and a reverse travel if you need to.👍🤙

Yes, open up the menu and select travel, then select throttle. After that select the rev ( which is usually labeled L or H ). Now take that parameter all the way down to 0 and leave the other one alone. You should now have 100% forward and 0% reverse. Hope this helped you out! 😎🤙

Hi there. Hopefully this message gets seen. So a strange thing happend. I have a Arrma Kraton 6s, I turned on my kraton for first time in maybe 6 months. So Dx5c on, car on… now usually you have the common 5/6 beeps the car does before its ready to go. But now it does like 2 beeps then the fan slows down and its just idle. But check this… if i turn my steering full right lock it ramps up the fan again, the beeping resumes as normal and then its ready to go. It will actually drive (but only in full lock to the right😰) when i let go of the steering wheel the the fans slow down again and the car is idle. Any idea how to fix this bizarre problem?

[@upgradedrc3697]

That sounds really weird. Try the whole binding process again and recalibrate the ESC, that should fix it unless there is bad component.

So disconnected that from STR connection to see if the vehicle boots up like normal, and it then allowed me to full acceleration and reverse. So looks as tho the servo has burnt out. If so i may upgrade the controller to the dx5c pro also and probably a more robust servo. Trouble is space wise is not that big for where the original servo sits (the one at moment/original one is a spektrum S652)

on a DX3, there is a switch to select 50,75 and 100% throttle. Is there a way to set something like up on a DX5?

[@upgradedrc3697]

You could set up one of the switches to give you 2 options

[@jchaire3622]

Under mixing option then mix: how can you select the 3 position option. Mine only comes up automatically 2 position.

[@upgradedrc3697]

I'm sorry, I never got into mixing. Call Spectrum and ask them.

Spektrum should endorse you with these how to use videos. The Spektrum guys are terrible

Hi, thanks for the info provided on this video, kindly if you can assist me I just purchased one radio and I didn't understand what the Aux Assign is for I tried to activate it but I couldn't understand what was it's function, kindly could you assist me please? Thanks

[@upgradedrc3697]

Sorry got caught up, aux assing is for your different accessories. Insert acc into empty aux port on receiver and assign it to a channel/ button with settings.

If your steering TRAVEL is set at 70%, should your baseline steering RATE also be set to 70%? What would happen if your steering TRAVEL was set at 70% but you accidentally left your steering RATE at 100%? Must the steering TRAVEL and the steering RATE be set to the same value in order for the steering OVERRIDE to be able to work correctly?

[@upgradedrc3697]

It's a bit tricky, but travel settings are overall first setting from 0-150%. But after that you can fine tune your travel with rates 0 - 100%, less movement for dialing it in. Then the override button of choice will change the assigned trimmer button from 0-125% of the result of the other two settings put together. Like i said kind of complicated. Lol hope that helps!🤟
