Spektrum SR215 2-Channel Sport Surface Receiver 2.4GHz SPMSR215

Upgrade or replace your RC vehicle's radio receiver with the Spektrum SR215 2-Channel Sport Surface Receiver, SPMSR215. Designed for RC cars, trucks, buggies and other surface vehicles, the SR215 combines frequency-agile 2.4GHz DSMR technology, fast response and selectable failsafe protection in a compact, lightweight hard case.

With support for 5.5ms-capable DSMR operation, the SR215 is ideal for drivers seeking responsive steering and throttle control. Its convenient bind button eliminates the need for a separate bind plug, while SmartSafe and preset Gas Mode failsafe options provide additional control over receiver behaviour if the radio signal is lost.

Measuring just 32.7 x 21.4 x 13.6mm and weighing approximately 6g, this compact Spektrum receiver is suitable for a wide range of RC surface applications where installation space is limited. It also features integrated antenna support and an antenna tube slot for convenient installation.

FAQ

What is the Spektrum SR215 used for? The SR215 is a two-channel radio receiver for compatible RC surface vehicles. It receives steering and throttle commands from a matching transmitter.

How many channels does the SR215 have? It has two control channels, typically used for steering and throttle.

Which transmitters work with the SR215? It supports compatible Spektrum DSMR and DSM2 surface transmitters. Updated versions also support compatible SLT FHSS transmitters. Always confirm the transmitter's radio protocol before ordering.

Will the SR215 work with a Spektrum aircraft transmitter? No. The SR215 is designed for surface radio systems and is not compatible with Spektrum aircraft transmitters.

Does the SR215 require a bind plug? No. It features an integrated bind button for entering binding mode.

What is the operating voltage? The SR215 operates from 3.5V to 9.6V. Check that your ESC's BEC or receiver power supply falls within this range.

What is SmartSafe failsafe? SmartSafe is a selectable failsafe mode that applies a predefined throttle response and holds the last known commands on other channels if the radio signal is lost.

What is Gas Mode failsafe? Preset Gas Mode allows failsafe positions to be established for the receiver channels during binding. Follow the Spektrum manual when configuring this function.

Does the SR215 support 5.5ms operation? Yes. It is 5.5ms capable when used with compatible DSMR radio equipment and appropriate settings.

Does the SR215 include AVC stability control? No. It is a standard two-channel surface receiver without integrated AVC stability assistance.

Does it provide telemetry? The SR215 does not provide dedicated receiver telemetry. Check the specifications of your transmitter and other electronics for any separately supported Smart functionality.

Is the SR215 waterproof? No waterproof or water-resistant rating is specified for this receiver. Protect it from moisture, mud and direct water exposure.

Can I use the SR215 with a brushless ESC? Yes, provided the ESC uses a compatible receiver control connection and the receiver receives an appropriate operating voltage. The SR215 is a radio receiver, not a motor speed controller.

Can I use it in a nitro RC car? Yes, where the vehicle uses a compatible surface transmitter, receiver power supply and servo connections.

How big is the SR215 receiver? It measures approximately 32.7 x 21.4 x 13.6mm and weighs around 6g.

Does the receiver include a transmitter? No. The package contains one Spektrum SR215 receiver only.
