Hi i would like to have at least 1km of range .But idk what receiver / transmitter choose. I know there is flysky but they only have 500m of range and if i want more i have to buy a module and a transmitter that support a module. Does anyone knows is there is a receiver that have 1km or + range without a module ? (s bus or ibus with failsaife of course)
Thank you

all transmitters has an internal module.
to do range, tbs crossfire system is the ways to go. it can provide much more range than one km.
a tbs tango 2 would be a nice transmitter and a crossfire nano receiver.


a less expensive way, a littlebit less: would be the jumper T-lite and an additional crossfire module and a cresf nano rx.

how much does the less expennsive way cost ?

60 bucks for the nice jumper t-lite
70 bucks for the external module
30 bucks for a receiver

160 bucks




the tbs tango 2 is about 200bucks, 230 with a receiver.

Thank you 

of you dont like "gamestyle" controllers, you would need a jumper or radiomaster tx16s, but it would go more expensive than the tango, paired with a module and receiver.

yeah it's not my cup of tea but 200 $ for a radio is a little bit too much

just to mention about a goggle or transmitter last long, they dont crash... its a good idea to spend money there if you can

crossfire is faraway ahead, the receivers are expensive at 30, but its worse the money :-)

True . with a 700$ machine in the air it will be stupid to crash because of cheap stuff on the ground

You mentioned Flysky. Its not bad. Few good receivers.
I did antenna mod on FS i6. A lot depends on antenna placement, and line of sight.

Did 700m and 900m tests 2 years ago:
X6B. Fli10. Flit14+(replaced antenna).

Most where weak, but ok (sig8-10, 40%+). Better with patch antenna. Sadly, I had lots of failsafe fall outa sky doing turns/flips, where antenna was poor position.
Similar to QX7 and R-XSR,

More recently bought XR602T-A. It claims 2km range.

i will go for a taranis  qx7 and a xm+ receiver .it should do the job

All the old 2.4ghz are pretty much the same.
With proper 30.5mm antenna, especially 10-14dbm patch/directional on Tx, you can stretch typical 1km, to 4-6km. And all radio can be mod to output higher power. But, regardless, when behind dense trees, it will fail. Its 2.4ghz. Flysky/Frsky/Spectrum/Futaba - doesnt matter.

If you want "real" and stable 1km+ (or 20km+):
900Mhz TBS Crossfire (CSS modulation) - excellent support
900Mhz Frsky R9M
2.4Ghz Flysky ADH3 - new and very limited compatibility
2.4Ghz ImmersionRC Ghost (CSS modulation)
900/2.4 ExpressLRS <<-- I ordered PCBs and building 900 mini RX on top of flashing R9M

In terms of performance, ExpressLRS claims to be #1. But its still "beta". Likewise, Ghost is very good, but very new. Proven and full support - Crossfire. But 900Mhz antenna are big for micros.

My QX7 and XM+ RX’s have been out to 1200 meters.  Not a lot of confidence, but they will work.  I have never had a failsafe with that combination inside of 700 meters.  My R9M on my seven inch cruiser has been out to 3.5km and it had a strong connection, even behind cover that caused my video to cease to be viable.  Thankfully the craft in an INAV build and the waypoint navigation worked to get it back into video range.

I have been flying 900mhz for a while now, even on my micros.  The antenna are not that big, even the T style.  



This is my Japalura with an R9MM receiver.  The T antenna kept catching on things so I shifted back to the stock antenna and ran it out on the arm.  It has been out to 2km in that configuration, but the battery came back deflated...this thing is not at all efficient.

The 900mhz systems will allow you better connectivity.
