RadioMaster TX16S Mk3 MAX Radio Controller (ELRS)

RadioMaster continues to lead the way in the development of open radio control systems, building on the globally proven concept of the TX16S series. The TX16S MK3 delivers enhanced performance, precision, and ergonomics.

Equipped with the powerful STM32H7 processor, it impresses with rapid response times, smooth operation, and a precise control feel. The bright 5-inch touchscreen with a resolution of 480×800 pixels ensures clear visibility even in direct sunlight and allows for intuitive navigation and easy programming.

Thanks to the new Gemini-X ExpressLRS system with dual LR1121 transceivers, the TX16S MK3 offers a stable and reliable connection over both 2.4GHz and 900MHz – ideal for demanding applications requiring low latency and long range.

The familiar TX16S layout has been retained: all switches, sliders, and potentiometers are exactly where pilots expect them to be. Modular switch panels allow the transmitter to be flexibly adapted to different flying styles.

The MAX version features AG02 gimbals made from fully CNC-machined aluminum – setting the global standard for control feel, precision, and durability. The carbon-look housing, combined with CNC-machined aluminum switches, rotary controls, and scroll wheel, delivers a premium tactile experience and a sophisticated appearance. Programmable RGB light rings on the gimbals provide additional customization options and serve as visual status indicators, which can be precisely tailored to individual preferences.

Also available as a standard version, featuring a rugged housing design, precise V6 Hall-effect gimbals with four ball bearings, as well as classic switches and rotary controls – delivering reliable performance, high precision, and a well-balanced control feel. Ideal for those who value quality and functionality.
