Spektrum SR6110AT 6-channel AVC telemetry receiver

Spektrum’s SR6110AT 6-channel AVC telemetry surface receiver features a specifically tuned AVC stability algorithm to produce the best driving experience for speed run, stunt and basher vehicles. The SR6110AT will better help drivers manage drifts and slides as well as creating a more predictable transition between reverse and forward throttle when performing reversing manoeuvres. Featuring an extended 228mm antenna it gives drivers ample amount of wire to get the antenna up and away from the surface and the electronics. This is perfect for retaining connection to low to the ground speed and stunt bashers, even when pushing the limits of their driving range. The receiver is compatible with DSMR and DSM2 Spektrum transmitters and it offers full-range telemetry capabilities with Spektrum Firma Smart ESCs.
