About this part

The Spektrum SR515 5-Channel DSMR Sport Surface Receiver is built around frequency-agile DSMR technology. The SR515 receiver delivers superb range and response, especially in noisy RF environments where a solid 2.4GHz link is crucial. Not only is the 2.4ghz link solid, this model also implements a lightning fast 5.5ms frame rate, providing a quicker , low-latency connection for the pro-level enthusiast.

The SR515 also features a modern case design that is small, streamlined, and ready for nearly any RC application. The case also features added antenna support and an integrated antenna tube slot for seamlessly easy installation.

No more bind plugs! Instead, an easy-to-use bind button is used to enter the bind mode. Plus, while binding, you have the choice of SmartSafe™ as well as preset ‘Gas’ failsafe options. All combined, Spektrum gives drivers more features in an affordable receiver, so you can drive with confidence.

Compact Design
The SR515 is capable of being placed in very small and tight builds. Unnecessary angles were eliminated to streamline the receiver casing and to make installation easier than ever before. The case also features added antenna support and an integrated antenna tube slot for those custom models that do not provide a route for the antenna installation.

Bind Button
Updated technology eliminates the need for the old bind plug. With The SR515 a top-located button makes binding more convenient than ever while two bind-sequence options make the process simpler by allowing you to bind while powering up or after receiver power is connected.

Gas Mode Failsafe
Built into The SR515 is Spektrum's failsafe mode for surface applications, Gas Mode Failsafe. Easily selectable during binding, Gas Mode allows users to preset the failsafe position of all available channels. Additionally drivers can utilize SmartSafe ™ failsafe which drops throttle to the lowest point and holds the last known command on the rest of the available channels.

Features:
  • Streamlined design in a compact and lightweight hard-case
  • Bind-button eliminates the need for a bind plug
  • SmartSafe™ Failsafe and Preset "Gas Mode" Failsafe options
  • Outstanding range and 5.5ms capable DSMR technology

Receiver bound effortlessly to my older DX4S and has worked without flaws. Great range and have not experienced any glitches or lost signal. The push button bind feature is also a huge plus. Miles better than the old bind plugs. The receiver is also very small which is a plus for me. Fits perfectly into the receiver box of an Arrma Kraton 6s.

A single one-star review reports the receiver failed with smoke after a light bar was connected to it, suggesting a possible electrical problem or misuse, though the cause is not confirmed. Overall feedback is positive from the majority, with the failure report being an isolated case.
