Take Full Control of Your Spektrum DX3 with Bluetooth and the App

Are you running a Spektrum DX3 with your RC? Now you can take control of your settings using the BT2000 Bluetooth module and the Spektrum Dashboard app on your iPhone or Android device. If you have Smart electronics installed, you'll get even more information in the dashboard. My favorite features are the ability to set endpoints for my steering, and get temperature readings. If you buy the phone mount, it lets you mount your phone right to the transmitter so you can check on the status as you drive.

You did a much better set up than spektrum themself!! Great great Job. I bought 3 for each of my DX3 remotes so I dont have to keep switching them around.

[@dhgmllcshea5038]

+1. Spektrum dx3 manual is pretty much useless... esp for avc, bind, tx cal.

[@thomasthetankengine7153]

I wish they would include these when you buy the RTR because it's a necessary part maybe in the near future horizon 🤞

[@firemyster4707]

Yeah exactly! All other Arrmas in the 3S series have the SLT3 remote and the only reason the Vorteks is more expensive is cuz the telemetry ability in the DX3 transmitter but there’s no point unless it already comes with the Bluetooth module thing.

[@MetzRc84]

Wow. I’m so glad they finally released this! Now we just have to wait till June til its in stock lol

[@midliferc1165]

I just picked up this radio and now I’ll be adding these, thanks Tony!

[@saltydreamsrc2786]

Very cool. I use my traxxas link all the Time. Spektrum is really stepping up it’s game!❤️❤️

[@d-nice2866]

Traxxas want you to buy alot of parts

[@ricklepickle9032]

Nice

[@EastTactics]

Do you find AVC helpfull for a basher... or more of a hinderence? Do you have to have a spectrum ESC? or is all you need is the transmitter and reciever? thanks

[@TriggerFingerRC]

Hey man! Would this app allow me to trim a 2nd servo(for rear stear) for my Losi LMT10? I installed one and I just can't get it to track strait. Thanks in advance!

[@ptyatas4380]

Damn that's awesome, will definitely be doin this

[@ryanpowell2908]

The bt-2000 module says its only compatible with android 5.1 or above. However the dashboard app needed to successfully connect and view telemetry is not compatible with any new versions of Android 14. Nor has it been compatible with any versions of Android for years now. This makes the dashboard app and bt-2000 module useless for anyone.

[@mikekixaxe5515]

For the Set up , So you need Spektrum Tx,Rx and the VT200 only ? or does the ESC need to be Spektrum ?

[@Mexneck.media2023]

Hello amigo i have a dx3 like that but i want to know if i can bind it the a arrma senton 6s blx or do i need to get a sr315 and how do you use avc on it too

[@cslrclorne721]

Great Video, Just ordered the parts, back ordered, but I can be Patient. Thanks , and stay safe.

[@mattstork2203]

Probably a dumb question but is the temperature measuring the esc temp or motor temp?

[@michaeliozzia5646]

Hello, I would like to buy the bluetooth module dx2e active for my arrma infraction 6s but I also have to put something in my car to see all the parameters? Or do you just need to buy the module for the radio?

[@djhansboro7125]

Do you have to have a spektrum battery in order to use the app??

[@thegoodwood76]

I'm hopeful this will work with the V2 mojave. I purchased a used one on ebay and ordered the Bluetooth mod from horizon crossing fingers 🤞

[@hotcorrado169]

Very informative video, subscribed

[@GreatLakesRC]

You can set your steering end points without the app. The radio programming procedure is in your manual 👍

[@dhgmllcshea5038]

​@@technober I got separate endpoints to work on an SR6110... you have to follow the steps carefully, cranking avc knob to full clockwise between the right and left steps. Look in Horizon Hobby Support channel here on KZbin. "From the Tech desk: how to set the end points on the DX3 transmitter"

[@cherandissanayake9530]

The app is not available in Android Play store

[@dustinfowler7868]

Great video, thank u. No wonder traxxas offers a gps module to go with their set-up. It's also way more $ to set the traxxas up tho.

[@romariocassar1906]

Anyone knows the rollout for infration blx 3s 26th pinion ? Thank you

[@pedroalonso6414]

do you need smart batteries to see the speed or can you do it with other brand batteries?

[@rcdrives3882]

Cool! Might just have to check that out. Thanks

[@Jeeplee_rc]

If you take the module out of the controller does it maintain the settings you put onto say one car. Then switch it to another controller to setup endpoints and stuff for another one?

[@andymerc190E]

I'm wondering the exact same thing

[@islandrc-duke1972]

awesome information and video

[@vincenttuttle3643]

Have you set the roll out on your vorteks you can’t see the pinion gear when you in stall the motor set up

[@GreatestHITS26]

How do you measure the rollout? Also i followed all of the Procedures and I’m not getting any RPM or mile an hour or any data I have a RJ speed & idk the rollout.

[@steveshaus5710]

My AVC isn’t working, can you help me out?

[@SilentSassin]

Very informative video man, thanks a lot! I just got a hold of a V3 Infraction BLX 3s, I've been trying to find the rollout information but an not having any success. Pretty new to this, does anyone have that info to share? I'm also figuring this is a 4 pole motor.

[@xwolf6823]

do you have to be using Spektrum batteries to see the volts left in them

[@CCxRC]

Yes. It has a special wire that communicated with the esc and receiver.

[@andrewrichey7374]

Wow super cool Tony, yeah too bad you can’t record that’s why I was going to get this no I have second thoughts appreciate you sharing that is super cool though

[@shadow7796]

[@varmintsniper2551]

Can you use another brand esc and motor with the controller transmitter combo?

[@CCxRC]

Yes, you just won’t get all the telemetry

[@varmintsniper2551]

@@CCxRC that good to know. I just bought a Castel combo and my son likes top adjustments on his controller.

[@dhgmllcshea5038]

You won't get temperature with other brand ESCs. If you want volts, you need a Rx like SR6100AT or SR6110AT with volts port and solder the 2 wire SPMA9570A to your esc battery plug leads & plug that into the volts port.

[@markhofmann2961]

does anybody knows the roll out for a stock Vorteks out of the box? The speed which is shown is much to high

[@CCxRC]

@@727MiX I hate building kits. I honestly thought I was getting a pre-built one to make the teaser video. It went together for me really easily. A few screws were tight to mount the chassis plates to the skid, but that was it. I used an electric driver and it wasn’t an issue.

[@bra1nc417d]

I hope nobody buys this to track your speed, because it won't be anywhere CLOSE to accurate. All this does, is assume your gearing and tire size. Change any one of them, and it's way off. Get a GPS tracker. Only way to do it.

[@bra1nc417d]

So, it "calibrated" the speed Lol. What a joke. That ain't no speedometer. Give me break🙄🤣. Change your pinion/spur, then what? It has settings for every gear combo, or what?? I highly doubt it...... 🤦

[@CCxRC]

Exactly. It’s based on the rollout and isn’t accurate. Change your tires and you have to change rollout again. it’s an estimation of values and throttle input. Wouldn’t be useful for actual speed. It actually gives speed if you have it on a stand and it’s not moving. Very similar to the traxxas via the Bluetooth module.

[@zeisslersrccars9696]

Sorry to say, the mobil Mount is crap. Its not for modern cellphones.
