Description

The RadioMaster Ranger ELRS Module is engineered as a premium external RF solution, built around the robust ESP32 main controller and SX1281 RF chip. Its solid CNC aluminum construction not only provides exceptional durability but also serves as a passive heatsink for the high-efficiency cooling system, ensuring stable performance during extended flight sessions. The module integrates an STK8BA58 MEMS accelerometer for advanced telemetry and orientation data.

Designed for maximum compatibility, the Ranger includes physical adapters for Nano, Micro, and standard JR transmitter bays, along with a CRSF cable for Futaba systems. The dual-antenna setup—comprising a general-use T-antenna and a long-range directional Moxon antenna—allows pilots to optimize their RF link for either all-around flying or focused long-range missions. The onboard OLED interface and configurable buttons provide direct access to settings without needing a computer.

Key Features

  • Premium Aluminum Chassis: CNC-machined case provides structural rigidity and acts as an integrated heatsink for sustained high-power operation.
  • High-Refresh RF Link: Leverages the SX1281 transceiver for ultra-low latency ExpressLRS communication with packet rates configurable up to F-1000Hz.
  • Integrated User Interface: 64x128 pixel OLED screen displays vital link statistics, supported by a tactile 5-way navigation key and two programmable shortcut buttons.
  • Dual-Mode Connectivity: Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (via ESP8285 co-processor) enable wireless firmware flashing and configuration through the ExpressLRS Backpack ecosystem.
  • Comprehensive Compatibility Kit: Includes module bay adapters (Nano, Micro, JR), a Futaba CRSF cable, and two antenna types (T and Moxon) for versatile installation.
  • Wide Input Voltage Range: Powered via XT30 connector, accepting 6V to 16.8V (2S-4S LiPo) directly, simplifying integration with most transmitter battery setups.

Applications

  • Upgrading traditional 2.4GHz transmitters (JR, Futaba) to low-latency ExpressLRS protocol for FPV racing and freestyle drones.
  • Long-range fixed-wing or drone missions utilizing the included directional Moxon antenna for enhanced link penetration and range.
  • High-performance drone builds requiring the ultra-low latency and high refresh rates (up to F-1000Hz) supported by the SX1281 chipset.
  • Backup or secondary RF link system for pilots who switch between multiple drones or control systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the input voltage range for the RadioMaster Ranger module, and how is it powered?

The RadioMaster Ranger module accepts a wide DC input range of 6V to 16.8V via its XT30 connector. This allows it to be powered directly from a 2S, 3S, or 4S LiPo battery, making it compatible with most transmitter battery setups or external power sources without requiring a separate voltage regulator.

Which transmitters is the Ranger module compatible with?

The Ranger module is designed for broad compatibility. It includes physical adapters for Nano, Micro, and standard JR module bays. Additionally, a dedicated CRSF cable is provided for Futaba transmitters with a compatible serial port. Always verify your transmitter's module bay dimensions and protocol support before installation.

What are the benefits of the included Moxon antenna versus the T-antenna?

The T-antenna is an omnidirectional antenna suitable for general flying where the drone's position relative to the pilot varies. The Moxon antenna is a directional, gain-type antenna that focuses its signal in a forward-facing lobe, providing increased range and better signal penetration in that direction, ideal for long-range or fixed-path flights.

How do I update the firmware on the Ranger module?

Firmware updates are performed wirelessly via the ExpressLRS Backpack feature. The module's built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (handled by the ESP8285 co-processor) allow it to connect to the ExpressLRS Configurator web interface or mobile app, enabling easy firmware flashes and configuration changes without direct USB connection.
