TENACITY-DB PRO RTR, AVC: 1:10 4WD DESERT BUGGY • INSTRUCTION MANUAL

DRIVING PRECAUTIONS

•  Maintain sight of the vehicle at all times.
•  Routinely inspect the vehicle for loose wheel hardware.
•  Routinely inspect the steering assembly for any loose hardware. Driving the vehicle off-road

can cause fasteners to loosen over time.

• Do not drive the vehicle in tall grass. Doing so can damage the vehicle or electronics.
• Stop driving the vehicle when you notice a lack of power. Driving the vehicle when the

battery is discharged can cause the receiver to power off. If the receiver loses power, you
will lose control of the vehicle. Damage due to an over-discharged Li-Po battery is not
covered under warranty.

CAUTION:

Do not discharge a Li-Po battery below 3V per cell. Batteries discharged

to a voltage lower than the lowest approved voltage may become damaged,

resulting in loss of performance and potential ﬁ re when batteries are charged.

• Do not apply forward or reverse throttle if the vehicle is stuck.

Applying throttle in this instance can damage the motor or ESC.

• After driving the vehicle, allow the electronics to cool before driving the vehicle again.

IMPORTANT:

Keep wires away from all moving parts.

POWERING ON THE VEHICLE

1. Center the ST TRIM and TH TRIM dials on the transmitter.

2. Power on the transmitter.

3. Install a fully charged battery pack per the

Installing the Battery

section.

4. Power on the ESC.

IMPORTANT:

The vehicle MUST remain on a ﬂ at, level surface and motionless

for at least 5 seconds.

BEFORE RUNNING YOUR VEHICLE

1. Check for free suspension movement. All suspension arms and steering components should

move freely. Any binds will cause the vehicle to handle poorly.

TIP:

To increase the ride height and ground clearance of your vehicle, screw down the

shock collars to compress the springs.

2. Charge a battery pack. Always charge the battery pack as per the battery and/or charger

manufacturers’ instructions.

3. Set the transmitter steering trim. Follow the instructions to set the steering trim/subtrim so

that the vehicle drives straight with no input to the steering.

4. Perform a Control Direction Test.

AVC

SENSITIVITY

The ST RATE dial 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.

Turn the ST RATE knob counter-clockwise to reduce the sensitivity.

Turn the ST RATE knob clockwise to increase the sensitivity.

IMPORTANT:

The ST RATE knob will only adjust the sensitivity when

the transmitter is bound to a DSMR

receiver. When the transmitter

is bound to a DSM

, DSM2

or DSM Marine receiver, the ST RATE

knob controls the steering dual rate.

FULL THROTTLE

BRAKE/REVERSE

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 ﬁ rst bind, the model must be conﬁ gured for servo direction, trim
and travel. Then the receiver must be rebound and calibrated to those settings for proper
operation. Center the steering trim and throttle trim on the transmitter before beginning.
1. Press and hold the bind button on the receiver.
2. Power on the receiver. The orange LED ﬂ ashes, indicating the receiver is in bind mode.

Release the bind button after the orange LED illuminates.

3. Put your transmitter in bind mode. The bind process is complete when the orange LED

on the receiver remains lit. The receiver is now bound to the transmitter but must be
calibrated before it will operate.

4. Pull the transmitter trigger to full throttle, pause, then return the trigger to center.

5.  Push the transmitter trigger to full brake, pause, then return the trigger to center.
6.  Turn the transmitter steering wheel to full right, pause, then return the wheel to center.
7.  Turn the transmitter steering wheel to full left, pause, then return the steering wheel to

center. The orange LED ﬂ ashes to conﬁ rm the settings have been accepted.

8. Turn off the vehicle to complete the binding and calibration process.

CAUTION:

When the bind process is complete, the throttle and steering channels are

active. Keep hands and loose objects away from all spinning parts on the vehicle.

IMPORTANT:

You must rebind the transmitter and receiver if you:

• Change the servo reversing after binding
• Change the travel after binding
• Change the receiver mounting orientation

DISABLING AVC

TECHNOLOGY STABILITY ASSIST

If you participate in organized racing, you may be required to turn AVC technology off.
To turn off AVC technology:
1. Connect power to the receiver and quickly press and release the bind button three times

(within 1.5 seconds).

2. Press and hold the bind button and to put the receiver in bind mode. release the buton

when the LED starts to ﬂ ash rapidly, indicating it is in bind mode.

When the AVC system has been disabled, the LED on the receiver will show three ﬂ ashes
upon power up, and then remain lit. The receiver is bound and operating normally when the
LED remains illuminated.

TIP:

If the AVC feature in the receiver is active and the AVC menu in the transmitter is

Inhibited, AVC functions will default to the AUX 1 and AUX 2 operation, and in this scenario,
AVC will not work correctly.

FAILSAFE

In the unlikely event that the radio link is lost during use, the receiver will drive the throttle
channel to the neutral position. If the receiver is powered on prior to turning on the
transmitter, the receiver will enter the failsafe mode, driving the throttle channel to the neutral
position. When the transmitter is turned on, normal control is resumed.

IMPORTANT:

Failsafe activates only in the event that signal is lost from the transmitter.

Failsafe will NOT activate in the event that receiver battery power decreases below the
recommended minimums or power to the receiver is lost.
