Spektrum Quick Hit Tech Tip - How to disable AVC

In this video, Tom explains to our fellow RC Enthusiasts how to disable AVC on the latest version of AVC Stabilized Receivers.
This applies to the SR6100AT, SR6200A and SR6110AT via the bind button. If you need assistance with older "legacy" receivers please refer to their respective manuals.
Also we encourage you, the RC community, to give us suggestions on more quick hit tech tip videos! What do you need help with or what have you found fixed what you think could be a common mistake? Let us know!

[@ParcoUpchurch]

Thank you! It would be nice if you all would put all this info in a doc on your website or videos like this on your Horizon site to better help and assist newbie customers.

[@RoostedFilms]

Man if this works... I'll be back. Thanks much better than only in writing . Thanks

[@mike-yc8bi]

I would love more videos on the spektrum smart technology for firma an surface recievers... I have so many questions an theirs no place to go for the info... please help!!!

[@DargoDog]

Thank you, this was driving me nuts!

[@RoostedFilms]

This works like a charm, Thanks so much ! I was struggling with the written instructions because they don't have the "fourth press" and hold in the instructions or the rebinding of the radio. Tons of help thanks again CHEERS

[@SpektrumRCvideos]

You're welcome!

[@knoxbros]

How do I do the 4200 series ones?

[@josephgreer9693]

Nice job partner, way to keep it simple, keep up the good work.

[@mikestewart4752]

It’s now 2023… why can’t we just have an AVC on/off control through the power/settings button???

[@1980VINZ]

To not ne able to cheat during competition. That was simple to guess…

[@mikestewart4752]

@@1980VINZ If you wanted to compete, sure. What about us that just like to rip? That was even EASIER to guess.

[@damaylaphoenix1155]

if you have a dx5 pro you will have to turn off the transmitter before you disable the avc. than turn on to bind !

[@BDTennessee]

Awesome video! Good info to know for sure!

[@edwincordero8]

Once AVC has been disabled, can I use aux1, aux2 or aux 3 to power other servos or led lights?

[@RazorRC]

Good tip, very useful! Is there a specific orientation the receiver needs to be mounted in the vehicle to make sure AVC works properly?

[@SpektrumRCvideos]

Yes, it needs to be mounted so that one of the flat sides is facing down. Hope that helps!

[@RazorRC]

@@SpektrumRCvideos thanks!

[@ygtx44]

Please make a same kind of video for older ( bind plug models)!!

[@johannesb.1658]

danke war sehr hilfreich , aber warum geht das beim SR6200A nur mit 22ms nicht mit 11 ms ??? und AVC ausschalten hört sich im englichen an wie ABC 😁😁😁😆😆🤣🤣

[@loose_nuts_are_faster]

OK! Now I may be able to master my SR6200A. Note to Horizon Hobby: The instructions provided with the receiver are not clear. I hope there is a V2 booklet! SPECIAL THANKS to Christopher P. @ HH customer service!!

[@345gc8]

I have the same receiver, it’s not working for me. How did you get it to work with the 6200a?

[@loose_nuts_are_faster]

@@345gc8 Honestly, I gave up and bought a Sr515

[@offroadmarkt]

Not working with SR6200A. Did 1000 times. As decribed in manual, too. No 3 blinking at ON.

Same here bro, it’s annoying asf!

Waiting for the avc to calibrate/initiate makes calibrating 3rd party esc’s like Hobbywing a real pain, even after following this video to turn avc off it still take too long to start up and the esc wont calibrate. I have to pull the + wire from esc plug and use an external BEC to power receiver up first then wait for it to start up then power on esc and go through calibartion. I wil stick to sr315 and SR515 and use a 3rd party gyro if needs be. I will never buy one of these receivers again.

[@joseCalderon1976]

Damn that was easy thanks! I don't need AVC for my bashers 🤣👍

[@SpektrumRCvideos]

👍

[@youtubsuck]

Really? Does it help the car recover during ramp jumps?

[@troywilliams1185]

Ok so do I set my throttle and brake before or after this do I bind it normal then calibrate then disable or disable then calibrate throttle and brake

[@subscribeme2313]

I disabled avc for my axial ryft. now no delay issue when I switch on the ryft.

[@speckledjim_]

Yeah I got that too with my LMT

[@marks7445]

Is there a way to vary a constant value with a knob on any of the transmitters (DX, NX iX)? For example, if I want to test various values for Expo. To be able to assign the actual Expo value to R Knob along with a range, maybe 0 to 50, and be able to vary it until I get a value I like. I know I can do this with switches and using different values but curious about doing it with a knob for testing.

[@pdbq1984]

Thanks bro, its working!

[@zacharysamson4535]

Thanks bud

[@ubreakitirepairit3569]

Is there any difference in completely disabling this vs simply turning it all the way down on a DX3 transmitter?

[@SpektrumRCvideos]

Functionally no, but it does make binding a bit easier because you do not need to do the calibration afterward.

[@alfiebyford1983]

how do you switch the avc to the other direction

[@BrickoMode]

Can you do a video on replacing flap servos for rc planes?

[@BrickoMode]

Also your downloadable plane setups for DX8e tx isn’t up to date.

[@rogersymes9510]

Hi all I’ve got a Spektrum DX6 for flying but since the lock down I’ve now started making RC boats my question is how can I program the throttle stick to give me reverse

[@SpektrumRCvideos]

It can depend on your ESC at that point. Also following the mode change instructions in the manual, you can turn one of the adjustment screws on the front of the DX6 to make is so the Throttle stick is spring loaded

[@shaffiquem]

Hi Tom, tried many times to bind and calibrate my felony but the throttle is on the receiver wheel and not on the trigger. I also have no control of the servo. Why?

[@SpektrumRCvideos]

Hi Shaffique, definitely sounds like you got some wires crossed. Double check your connections and that everything is the correct polarity.

[@magicb5068]

How do I pu it back on?

[@jc0303]

what you came here for, the actual process, starts 2:10 into the video.

[@rcdud1]

I did all this on my axial ryft but gyro only works when tilting truck front to back. Nothing happens when turning on axis like it does on my drift car

[@SpektrumRCvideos]

That is strange, did you reposition the receiver after the bind and calibration?

[@rcdud1]

@@SpektrumRCvideos all sorted now. I got the ryft second hand so i rebound it and calibrated it and all working now

[@kenyanr1]

Man, a simple way on/off would be great

[@tygger420]

If i disable on DX3 will i get back my dual rate knob where the AVC was?now i just got a losi tenacity DB pro,And im going to bind a DX3 to it should i go through the bind process and calibration and then turn off AVC?And when you turn off AVC when i bind do i also have to recalibrate?that DX2e seems you have to rebind all the time after changing trim or anything,thats why im upgrading,Well i also love the DX3 i have them for 2 other RCs.hope you can help please.

[@SpektrumRCvideos]

Hi Clinton, Yes if you bind with AVC disabled then the knob will be used for rates. Hope that helps!

[@tygger420]

@@SpektrumRCvideos helps very very much,Im still now to hobby so I'm kinda nervous binding another trans to buggy but your video goes step by step I can't fail

Thx very helping

[@traviswilliams3209]

Thank you, this however is not simple, if it was simple, the text instructions would make sense

[@jessekormick3796]

So how do I turn AVC back on after binding?

[@SpektrumRCvideos]

Simply rebind as normal and calibrate AVC.

[@highlifter1634]

I just bought the losi baja rey 2.o and my steering rate is not working ? Can anyone help me with this please ?

[@SpektrumRCvideos]

When AVC is used, such as the stock receiver in the Baja Rey, the steering rate knob is then the gain knob for AVC. IF you need to reduce steering rate you can adjust it via the programming of the transmitter OR disable AVC like in the video and then the knob will function as a steering rate knob.

[@highlifter1634]

@@SpektrumRCvideos Thanks for taking the time to reply. 😎

[@timmyman01]

No special calibration needed after binding??

[@SpektrumRCvideos]

Nope :)

[@riskyjedi]

Then why does it say it needs to be recalibrated in the manual? And when I followed this video I loose reverse unless I recalibrate. Then the avc comes back on.

[@mike-yc8bi]

@@riskyjedi I cant find much info on any of this stuff... 1 of my firma esc shows an variable in the program mode but its locked an wont allow me to change...

[@SpektrumRCvideos]

@@riskyjedi Manual is a bit dated, with latest firmware on the RX, if you bind in this way (diasble AVC) there is no need to calibrate AVC on the RX. I would say they are likely unrelated... What transmitter are you using?

[@riskyjedi]

@@SpektrumRCvideos I'm using the SR6100AT, but no update on the firmware.

[@dhstube]

@2:33 you power on the system? This is why try on mine truck w/o lucky Mamba X with 6200A receiver Power the system I press the 3 short times and then the long time and the receiver puts on bind mode but when I check for 3 blink stay solid. Any idea? I'm supose that I don't touch bind button enough fast. TIA

[@SpektrumRCvideos]

It will blink 3 times then stay solid. one way to check if it is disabled is to see if the AVC does not operate. IE pick up the truck and turn it and see if the wheels counter act. If they do not then you are good to go.

[@rogersanchez4687]

Do u still have to calibrate after doing that procedure ?

[@SpektrumRCvideos]

You do not have to calibrate the AVC if you disable it :)

[@damaylaphoenix1155]

do you have to bind in 22ms?

[@damaylaphoenix1155]

thx!

[@djangoraineault1492]

It's not working

[@doctorstork_returns]

??? Did you calibrate??? This does not make any sense???
