EN QUICK START Please read the entire manual to gain a full understanding of the DBXL-E 2.0 RTR vehicle, fine-tuning the setup and performing maintenance. 1. Read the safety precautions found in this manual. 2. Charge a battery for the vehicle. Refer to the included charging warnings and instructions for battery charging information. 3. Install the AA batteries in the transmitter. Only use alkaline or rechargeable batteries. 4. Install the fully charged battery in the vehicle. 5.

Steering Wheel G. Steering Trim Adjusts the steering center point. Normally, the steering trim is adjusted until the vehicle tracks straight. H. Throttle Trim Adjusts the throttle neutral point I. SMART Battery Level Indicator J.
EN BINDING AND CALIBRATING THE RECEIVER Binding is the process of linking the SR6100AT receiver to your Spektrum transmitter. The AVC features on the receiver can be enabled or disabled during the binding process. IMPORTANT: You must calibrate the SR6100AT receiver each time it is placed in bind mode, regardless of AVC being enabled or disabled. Upon initial setup after the first bind, the model must be configured for servo direction, trim and travel.
EN AVC® SENSITIVITY RUN TIME The ST RATE dial on the DX3 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. The largest factor in run time is the capacity of the battery pack. A larger mAh rating increases the amount of run time experienced.
EN CAMBER Camber Links Lowering the Link Raising the Link Characteristics Front Increases off-power steering and makes the vehicle more responsive. Handling consistency may decrease as off-power steering increases Rear Increases off-power chassis rotation and makes the vehicle more responsive Front Reduces off-power steering and provides greater handling consistency Rear Reduces off-power chassis rotation and provides greater handling consistency Always use negative camber (tires leaning in).
EN SHOCK MOUNTING POSITIONS Moving the shocks in on the tower makes the vehicle more forgiving. Moving the shocks out on the tower makes the vehicle more responsive and better for technical tracks. FRONT REAR FRONT TOE Never run front toe-in which can cause limited steeering response.
EN SPEKTRUM™ FIRMA™ 780KV BRUSHLESS MOTOR PRECAUTIONS SETTING THE GEAR MESH • Never touch moving parts. • Never disassemble while the batteries are installed. • Always let parts cool before touching. The gear mesh has already been set at the factory. Setting it is only necessary when changing motors or gears. GEARING Proper gear mesh (how gear teeth meet) is important to the performance of the vehicle. When the gear mesh is too loose, the gears could be damaged.
EN ESC FUNCTIONS AND MODES The ESC includes programming options so you can adjust the way your vehicle performs. Refer to the included programming table to adjust the ESC for your driving conditions. ESC PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE number given in the programming table. Programming is accomplished using the SET button on the ON/OFF switch*. 1. Connect a fully charged battery to the ESC. 2. Power on the transmitter. 3. Power on the ESC. 4. Hold the SET button until the green LED flashes.
EN VEHICLE MAINTENANCE The following items require semi-frequent maintenance. Always clean screw threads and apply removeable thread locking compound when threading machine screws into metal parts. SHOCK DISASSEMBLY/CLEANING Remove the shocks and service as needed. Replace worn parts. 40 WT OIL 40 WT OIL FRONT REAR 1. Pull the spring up and away from the lower cup. Slide the lower spring cup up and off of the shaft. Clean with a soft brush. Remove the shock boot. LOS253026 LOS253029 2.
EN REFILLING/BLEEDING SHOCKS 1. Fill the shock body 5mm (0.2 in) from the top with 40wt silicone shock oil (TLR74025). 2. Slowly move the piston up and down 5 times, allowing air to rise to the top. Let the shock sit for 5 minutes. 3. With the piston all the way down, fill the shock body 1mm (0.04 in) from the top. Replace the shock cap, spring and spring cup. FRONT DIFFERENTIAL 1. Remove the front clip. 2. Remove the cover and differential. 3.
EN REAR DIFFERENTIAL 1. Remove the rear clip. 2. Remove the cover and differential. 3. Check the differential fluid and refill or replace as needed with DYN2656 (30,000CS) fluid. The fluid level should be about 0.12 in (3.0mm) from the top surface of the case. Do not overfill or the differential unit might leak. 30,000 WT LOS252006 LOSB5972 4. Check the ring and pinion as well as the bevel gears in the differential. Replace as needed. If fluid is leaking at the drive cups, replace the O-rings.
EN CENTER DIFFERENTIAL 1. Inspect the spur gear. Replace if worn or damaged. 2. Check the differential fluid and refill or replace as needed with DYN2657 (50,000CS) fluid. The fluid level should be about 0.12 in (3.0mm) from the top surface of the case. Do not overfill or the differential unit might leak. 50,000 WT 3. Check the spur gear and pinion as well as the bevel gears in the differential. Replace as needed. If fluid is leaking at the drive cups, replace the O-rings.
EN TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE Battery not charged or plugged in ESC switch not "On" Transmitter not "On" or low battery Pinion not meshing with spur gear Pinion spinning on motor shaft Motor runs but wheels do not rotate Transmission gears stripped Drive pin broken Servo plug not in receiver properly Steering does not work Servo gears or motor damaged Will not turn one direction Servo gears damaged Motor wire solder joint is damaged Motor does not run Motor wire broken ESC damaged Motor
