DBXL-E 2.0 RTR, AVC: 1:5 4WD DESERT BUGGY • INSTRUCTION MANUAL

EN

Place the vehicle on a stand supporting the chassis so the wheels are off the ground during 
the steering and throttle tests. Verify all the controls work correctly before turning it on with 
the wheels on the ground.

RUN TIME

The largest factor in run time is the capacity of the battery pack. A larger mAh rating increases 
the amount of run time experienced. 
The condition of a battery pack is also an important factor in both run time and speed.
The battery connectors may become hot during driving. Batteries will lose performance
 and capacity over time.
Driving the vehicle from a stop to full speed repeatedly will damage the batteries 
and electronics over time. Sudden acceleration will also lead to shorter run times.

TO IMPROVE RUN TIMES

•  Keep your vehicle clean and well maintained.
•  Allow more airfl ow to the ESC and motor.
•  Change the gearing to a lower ratio. A lower ratio decreases the operating temperature 

of the electronics. Use a smaller pinion gear or larger spur gear to lower the gear ratio.

•  Use a battery pack with a higher mAh rating.
•  Use the optimum charger to charge battery packs (Visit your local hobby dealer for 

more information). 

CHANGING THE TRAVEL ADJUST SETTINGS

1.  Hold the trigger in the full brake position and turn the steering wheel to Full Right while 

powering on the transmitter. The LED fl ashes rapidly, indicating the programming mode is 
active.

2.  Throttle End Point:

 Continue holding full throttle. Turn the TH TRIM knob to adjust the 

full throttle end point.

3.  Brake End Point:

 Hold the trigger in the full brake position. Turn the TH TRIM knob to 

adjust the full brake end point. Return the trigger to the center position.

4.  Left Steering End Point:

 Hold the steering wheel in the full left position. Turn the ST 

TRIM knob to adjust the left end point.

5.  Right Steering End Point:

 Hold the steering wheel in the full right position. Turn the ST 

TRIM knob to adjust the right end point. Return the steering wheel to the center position.

6.  Power off the transmitter to save the travel adjust settings. The minimum Travel is 75%, 

and the Maximum travel is 150%.

IMPORTANT:

 If the travel is changed on the DX2E, you must rebind and calibrate the 

SR6100AT

CONTROL DIRECTION TEST

ADJUSTING STEERING AND THROTTLE TRIMS

STEERING 

1. 

Move the steering wheel Left and Right and observe the direction the front wheels 
move.

2. 

If the wheels move the opposite direction, reverse the STR channel.

STEERING TRIM 

The vehicle should maintain a straight line without any steering wheel input. If not, adjust 
the STR Trim knob so the wheels maintain a straight line without having to turn the steering 
wheel.

THROTTLE 

1. 

Pull the Throttle trigger to move the vehicle forward.

2. 

If the vehicle moves backward, reverse the THR channel.

THROTTLE TRIM 

Trim the vehicle with the wheels off the ground. If the wheels rotate after the vehicle is pow-
ered ON, adjust the TH Trim knob until they stop.
