Our TX case is designed with a high quality interlaced joinery sure to leave any fine woodworker stunned. Don't tell them how you did it. ;-) This one is made from high quality Lite Ply. Designed with room inside for your 2.4g antenna, will also hold your 72mhz radios easily. The space that is normally wasted in a bargain aluminum case is filled with storage containers. There are places for your extra modules, receivers, charge cords, even a place to hide a spare battery and your wall charger for those extended flying trips. All lids and drawers are magnetically retained. Over 30 magnets in this kit do everything from work the nifty latches to retaining the handle where you like it.
Builds with standard hobby adhesives (thin and med CA's). No special tools required. Photo shows build finished in Golden Oak Stain and Semi-Gloss Polyurethane. Interestingly, you actually stain this project before you build it.
With solid performance based on the dual-band 900M/2.4G RF signal link with multiple operating combinations of RF modes, the TANDEM X20R & X20RS versions are equipped with the TD-ISRM Pro built-in RF module which is capable of supporting multiple protocols (like TW, TD, etc), with same RF capability as X20 Pro editions.
The TD-ISRM Pro RF module has the dual 2.4G TW RF mode and supports simultaneous activation of working under TW and ACCESS R9 modes with the same module. In this configuration, the TW receiver and ACCESS R9 receiver can be connected via the SBUS IN/OUT ports to achieve redundant backup. This RF signal connection solution makes use of three different RF links at the same time in RC applications. This further enhances the RF signal's reliability, particularly in long-distance RC operations scenarios.
DIFFERENCES IN APPEARANCE & FUNCTIONAL INPUTS
The X20R and X20RS have changed from the original X20 design in appearance. The bottom hand grip adopts the overall design of the PRO version, eliminating the need for an additional grip cover, and allowing the bottom part to be fully grasped by the palm for a more comfortable and relaxed grip. Additionally, the Lite-type external module slot has been adjusted to provide more fitting installation space for external modules of different shapes, making it more convenient.
R and RS versions add 2 extra trims, allowing for more precise tunings during the operations. The slider levers on both sides of the transmitter support adjusting the positioning of the center, catering to different users' habits and preferences. The primary input components, including trim caps, center-slider caps, and knobs are all made from metal, offering rugged quality and enhanced durability for outdoor use.
The newly upgraded antenna handle incorporates the good capability of impact resistance facing the tough conditions of outdoor fields. The reinforced and thickened antenna casing is better suited for comfort gripping but also does not compromise the antenna's performance. On the contrary, the redesigned antenna can transmit signal data more effectively, providing pilots with a more reliable flying control experience.
The X20R & X20RS are also equipped with 2 external antenna connectors, which can be mounted with additional 2.4G and 900M antennas for enhancing the RF capabilities working under the LoRa modes, to achieve enhanced long-range control.
BUILT-IN MASS STORAGE & TEXT TO SPEECH FUNCTION
To save the user the trouble of deciding the storage capacity, both R and RS versions have a built-in 8GB flash storage that offers big storage to meet all your radio's storage needs with high data transmission speed.
Thanks to the upgraded storage feature, the TTS (Text-to-Speech) function of X20 RS versions can quickly and conveniently convert typed input English words into spoken speech. This enables the ETHOS system to more flexibly match the triggered operational status using generated speech audio when specific functions are activated and to alert clear outdoors with the digital power amplifier module.
DUAL-SIDE HAPTIC GIMBAL FEEDBACK The gimbal vibration feedback function can be easily enabled or disabled by setting a switch. The dual-sided Gimbal's vibration feedback can operate independently, allowing the configuration to match distinct feedback preferences tailored to various application scenarios for RC enthusiasts.
EASY TRAVELl-ADJUSTABLE MC20R GIMBALS (with ANY DESIRED DEGREE BETWEEN 45? to 60?)
The MC20R Gimbals also has an 8? rotatable panel and can be adjusted to a 45? travel position. What's even better is that the angle is not limited to just 45? and 60?, the MC20R Gimbal allows for adjustment of any travel position between 45? and 60?. To enhance convenience for pilots in outdoor applications, the angle travel position can be directly adjusted using a 1.5mm hexagon screwdriver through the adjustment hole on the Gimbal Panel, eliminating the need to disassemble the radio casing.

Use to replace diode in Futaba transmitters (or any others) with a auto resetting breaker. Allows charge and discharge up to 3 amps as well as volt checking of the TX battery through the TX charge port. Exact same rating as more expensive Futaba part (FUTM4000) at a much more reasonable cost. A better option than jumping the diode as this part will protect against melting the pack down by shorting through the charge port as well as the diode did while not interfering with normal service of the pack.
This is a moderate skill project. You need to be able to identify your diode, desolder it and solder this component in it's place. No instructions are provided. If your radio is in warranty, this will void it (as would jumping the diode). Note, this cannot be used on a Futaba 9Z.

Radical RC TX Stand. Works with TX's that have bent U shaped metal handle. Machined from solid aluminum, your not going to bust it. SKU Number: RRCA427
These crystals fit any Hitec FM Transmitters in the 72mhz band. These TX xtals typically have "HTF" or "TF" printed on a white or white with black cap. All channels listed, but does not guarantee availability.
Word to the wise: Not sold by Hitec, so very hard to get. Must part out radio systems to get them. Our experience is that changing a TX xtal in a Hitec TX is a BAD IDEA. It will work and you'll range check well, but you'll pick up side bands and become a source of interference to other pilots. Regarding our Crystal Exchanges, we won't accept anything for a Hitec FM TX xtal except a Hitec FM TX xtal. Set the right example here and treat your fellow modeler with respect, get the retune done.

Advice from Dave on setting voltage: For simulating a typical 4.8V RX pack set voltage 5.1 to 5.4. For simulating a 6V pack, set voltage to 6.4 to 6.8. Battery packs are not any set voltage but work over a range of voltages. Think about what your trying to simulate. A 4.8v pack is empty at about 4.4v, full at about 6v. A 6v pack is empty at 5.5 and full at about 7.5. For heli's where the tail servo and gyro won't take 6v packs, what the MFG is saying is it won't take 7.5V. Setting heli voltage to even 5.8 or 5.9 is fine as it just looks like a 4.8V pack hot off the charger. For older 2.4GHZ systems (Anything not Hitec/Airtronics and pre 2011 gear) we reccomend setting voltage to 5.4-6V range MINIMUM.
Pigtail for TX battery pack with for JR (after 2001) and Spektrum. For new style 8103 transmitters and others. This matches any JR/Spektrum brand TX with a white plug on the TX battery.
