Description

We are proud to introduce our Ethix Special Edition Mambo Radio. This edition has a few notable changes that are more tailored to the likings of Mr. Steele & Konasty. First and foremost we gave the front fascia a battleship grey color scheme with a more gritty texture for added grip. Next, the side grips were custom designed with a more rubbery feel for maximum comfort and traction when holding the radio. Along with these physical changes the radio also comes with a gang of upgraded accessories such as, TBS crown jewel stick ends, red and black silicone switch caps (full radio), a new Ethix V2 neck strap, Ethix Stickers, and a heavy-duty low profile retractable kickstand, not to mention the Send dial which goes to “11.” All of these adjustments from the stock TBS mambo give it not only some added character and esthetic flare, but they also make it much more tailored to the pro user who wants the best quality and feels out of their radio. We know you will love it and also we would like to thank you for your continued support. Without you, we couldn’t keep making cool products like this.

A Class on its Own

Team BlackSheep has redefined the portable remote control with the TBS Tango 2. Now we're back with one of the most popular requests: a compact full-size remote! The TBS Mambo follows in the footsteps, but focuses on all of the things the Tango 2 tries not to have: a larger screen, traditional form factor with switches and potentiometers, JR module bay, replaceable batteries, and trim buttons!

But do not fear: we haven't made a cookie-cutter remote! With the built-in antenna (external antenna available as optional add-on), the 2-position and momentary gamepad buttons, and TBS Tracer built-in, we've accomplished a few "firsts" that put this radio into a class on its own!

Tracer Inside

The first radio with TBS Tracer built-in. And it fits your existing TBS Crossfire module through the JR bay! TBS Tracer is the world's lowest latency radio link, and builds upon the rock-solid reputation of the TBS Crossfire code base. With the continued development and expansion of the TBS ecosystem, pilots will remain on the bleeding edge of capabilities paired with the ease of use and overall robustness that TBS products are known for.

Awesome controller

"Controller feels great, super responsive, works great with my drone 10/10 recommended"

Carlos A. (5/5)

Loving it

"So far I’m really enjoying this radio! Upgraded from a taranis X9D and got M3 rip sticks for it. Amazing radio. I’ve heard that replacing a switch can be tricky, but I’m not worried as they’re only on the front of the radio and not the top. Everything else is great, I’m running ELRS so the whole not having crossfire thing isn’t a problem."

Daniel R. (5/5)

Nice Transmitter

"This is a nice unit that will be even better when it supports OpenTX."

John H. (4/5)

Love it

Kwan H. (5/5)

It’s alright

"Feels a bit cheap, took forever to get here"

Seamus M. (3/5)

My best radio yet

"I switched to this one from an ix12 and was worried about clunky buttons and UIs. But this thing is not clunky and it’s super smooth. I use this with a csrf micro in the back. TBS did it again with this radio!"

Apollo (5/5)
