Description

The RadioMaster R86C V2 receiver is engineered for reliable 2.4GHz radio control, operating within the 2400-2483.5MHz frequency band. Its multi-protocol design eliminates the need for specific brand-locked transmitters, offering pilots flexibility across FrSky and Futaba ecosystems. The receiver’s robust signal processing ensures stable performance for both line-of-sight flying and FPV applications where a dependable link is critical.

Built with a focus on integration, the R86C V2 features a compact PCB layout and includes a 15cm antenna for optimal signal reception positioning. Its support for SBUS provides a single-wire, low-latency digital connection to modern flight controllers like Betaflight and ArduPilot, while the PWM outputs allow direct servo control for fixed-wing, helicopter, or rover projects. This combination of protocol support and output flexibility makes it a high-value component for diverse RC and UAV platforms.

Key Features

  • Multi-Protocol RF Core: Single receiver supports FrSky D8/D16 ACCST and Futaba SFHSS protocols for maximum transmitter compatibility.
  • Low-Latency SBUS Output: Provides an 8-channel digital serial bus output for direct connection to flight controllers, reducing wiring complexity and signal latency.
  • Direct PWM Servo Control: Six standard PWM channels allow for direct connection of servos, ESCs, and other actuators without a flight controller.
  • Optimized Antenna Design: Includes a 15cm flexible antenna with a balanced radiation pattern for improved signal diversity and reduced multipath interference.
  • Robust Power Management: Handles input voltages from 4.5V to 8.4V, with built-in protection against voltage spikes and reverse polarity.
  • Compact Form Factor: Its small footprint (45mm x 21.2mm) and lightweight construction (8g) minimize impact on the overall weight and balance of the model.

Applications

  • FPV Racing & Freestyle Drones: Provides a reliable control link for 5-inch and smaller quadcopters using compatible multi-protocol transmitters.
  • Fixed-Wing RC Aircraft: Ideal for park flyers and medium-range gliders requiring direct PWM servo control and a lightweight receiver.
  • DIY Rover & Ground Vehicle Projects: Offers precise SBUS or PWM control for custom robotic platforms and tracked vehicles.
  • Bind-and-Fly Model Upgrades: A versatile replacement receiver for models originally designed for FrSky or Futaba systems, enhancing compatibility with modern transmitters.
  • Long-Range Mini Quad Builds: Suitable for lightweight long-range builds where the >1km range and small form factor are advantageous.

Frequently Asked Questions

What transmitters are compatible with the RadioMaster R86C V2 receiver?

The R86C V2 is compatible with transmitters that output FrSky D8, FrSky D16 (ACCST), or Futaba SFHSS protocols. This includes many multi-protocol modules like the RadioMaster Ranger ELRS module in legacy mode, as well as native FrSky and Futaba transmitters. It will not work with ExpressLRS, Crossfire, or other non-2.4GHz ACCST/SFHSS systems.

What is the difference between the PWM and SBUS outputs on this receiver?

The PWM outputs provide six independent channels of traditional pulse-width modulation signal, suitable for directly driving servos, ESCs, or simple switches. The SBUS output is a single-wire, digital serial bus that carries all eight channels of data with lower latency, which is the preferred method for connecting to modern flight controllers like Betaflight, iNav, or ArduPilot for drone applications.

What is the maximum operating voltage for the R86C V2 receiver?

The R86C V2 receiver has a specified input voltage range of 4.5V to 8.4V. This means it can be powered directly from a 1S LiPo (3.7V nominal is below spec), a regulated 5V BEC, a 2S LiPo (7.4V nominal), or any power source within that range. Exceeding 8.4V may damage the receiver's internal voltage regulator.
