So good

"I love these little receivers. Soldering them is easy and you get six channels and TONS of spare room in your fuselage. The signal strength is as solid as a rock and I never ever have to worry about going out of range or just dropping my signal. The only downfall is that I like to monitor my flight pack battery voltage on my radio and this little receiver doesn’t have the capability for vbat. If it did, this is all I would ever use. So for now I use the Radio Master ER4 which gives you a little solder button and a lead to solder together to get vbat. Hopefully happy model can figure that part out."

I should have bought two!

"Works great. I’ve never had an issue with Happy Model ELRS gear (that wasn’t my fault lol)."

HappyModel ELRS PWM receiver

"Not a bad little PWM rx. There seemingly are not a lot of choices currently for ELRS PWM receivers available. As with other HappyModel ELRS rx's I have used, firmware upgrades, and binding can be a bit finicky. They seem to ship with a non-standard firmware.(No ver#, just "master"?) Once properly updated and bound however, this rx works very well! Great range, and robust link. I will buy again when I need another PWM rx. Would give 5 stars if shipped with newer standard version ELRS firmware."

Great little receiver. I love

"Great little receiver. I love elrs! I am able to get vbat telemetry out of this one. Was unable to with a beta fpv 5ch pwm."

Good Receiver, but ELRS still has some room for improvement in the PWM market.

"I like this receiver. It is small, lightweight, and it has the range of your typical ELRS receiver... which is significantly better than some other protocols I have used. I put this in a plane that came with a gyro. I am able to use SBUS to send my primary control surfaces to the gyro, while still using PWM outputs to control throttle and flaps. (I also have spare outputs for other aux functions). It does have limitations though. For example, when I wanted to output SBUS to my gyro, it only let me output SBUS on a specific pins. Using SBUS also used turned off the PWM outputs for a second pin. This essentially turning this 6 channel PWM receiver to a SBUS receiver with 4 PWM outputs (when I expected 5). I'm not sure if this is a hardware limitation of the microcontroller or if this is a programming issue that could be changed in the future. Another issue is ELRS 3.3 only lets use channel 5 as a full-range channel when in a specific mode (16 channel, half-rate, with a fairly high packet rate). The receiver does let you map whatever channels you want to the different PWM pins (so you don't have to output channel 5 to a PWM pin), but SBUS still outputs all the channels. My plane's gyro was controlled by channel 5 (and this can't be remapped). So, in order to take advantage of the SBUS feature, I had to turn ELRS into the only mode that lets channel 5 have full range. This meant I had to crank up the packet rate and use a 16-channel, half-rate, ELRS mode for a 6 channel plane. Its a weird way to do things and half of the data packets sent are for unused channels and wasted. Even with those issues, this is still a good receiver and I recommend it."

Great receiver!

"I'm using this in a tiny little two-wheel robot and it works great. Super lightweight and easy to bind and use. You need to solder the header pins so be prepared for that."

Gustavo D. (5/5)

Smaller than I recall

"Got back into RC after a few decades, much smaller and MUCH farther range than the Futaba 4 channel radio that I previously had."

Michael S. (5/5)

Great 6ch rx

"Super clean design and of course works perfectly"

Stephen F. (5/5)

Great For Planes!

"Came with the header pins that were easy to solder. Easy to bind to and use!"

Philip F. (5/5)

Nice not having to use crsf to pwm conversion board

"Using in one of my wings. It is very nice having elrs without adding additional failure points."

Q&A

Just got this receiver from you guys the other day. I've reset the radio have flashed the newest software for receiver and Ranger Micro several different times. The radio and receiver bind no problems BUT input channels 1 and 2 have nothing when plugging in servo inputs 3 and 4 works normal throttle and rudder. Inputs 5 and 6 seems to work when the servo is plugged in????? Any ideas?? Radio is a Frsky Horus X10s and module is a Radiomaster Ranger micro.
Radiomaster will be the ones to handle this unfortunately. If you put in a support ticket I will send you the link to get the ball rolling. support@racedayquads.com
