Description

The TX16S Mark II Max (M2) represents a significant evolution in open-source radio control, integrating the latest ExpressLRS 2.4GHz technology directly into the mainboard. Its refined internal power supply and charge circuitry support a 2.2A USB-C charging current with reverse-polarity protection, enhancing operational safety and convenience. The chassis has been retooled for improved fit and finish, featuring a redesigned battery cover and reinforced internal plastics for long-term durability.

Beyond its core RF capabilities, the transmitter is engineered for pilot customization and comfort. The externally adjustable V4.0 Hall gimbals provide exceptional stick resolution and feel, while the inclusion of two grip styles allows pilots to tailor the hand feel to their preference. The system natively supports TBS Crossfire via a MicroTX module slot, enabling seamless software switching between internal and external RF systems without physical module swapping.

Key Features

  • Internal ExpressLRS Backpack: Integrated high-performance 2.4GHz ELRS system eliminates the need for an external module for modern digital control links.
  • Advanced V4.0 Hall Gimbal System: Utilizes the same sensor circuitry as the AG01 gimbals, offering superior center point accuracy and minimal temperature drift.
  • Dual Grip Ergonomics: Ships with both flat and raised rear grip panels, allowing pilots to customize the transmitter's handling and comfort.
  • Enhanced User Interface: Features improved S1/S2 knobs with center detents and smoother LS/RS sliders for precise auxiliary control adjustments.
  • Robust Connectivity: Includes a standard 3.5mm TRS trainer port, a rear-mounted 3.5mm audio jack, and a dedicated DIY socket for custom hardware modifications.
  • Optimized Power Management: Revised internal circuitry provides stable voltage to all components, supporting a high-current USB-C charging system.
  • Multi-Protocol Flexibility: The built-in 4-in-1 module allows binding with hundreds of legacy protocols (FrSky, Futaba, Spektrum, etc.) alongside the primary ELRS system.

Applications

  • Primary transmitter for long-range and freestyle FPV drones utilizing ExpressLRS 2.4GHz receivers.
  • Versatile ground station for multi-rotor pilots needing compatibility with a wide array of legacy and modern receiver protocols.
  • Ideal platform for drone racers and cinematic pilots who require high-precision gimbals and extensive channel programmability.
  • Suitable for fixed-wing and rotorcraft pilots leveraging EdgeTX's advanced scripting and telemetry capabilities.
  • Development and testing platform for custom drone projects due to its open-source firmware and hardware expansion ports.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the internal RF and the external module bay on the TX16S Mark II Max?

The TX16S Mark II Max features an internal, dedicated ExpressLRS 2.4GHz RF system (the 'ELRS Backpack') which operates independently. The external JR-style module bay can simultaneously host a secondary long-range system like Crossfire or a different protocol module. You can switch between the internal ELRS and the external module via software in EdgeTX without physically swapping hardware.

What type of battery does the TX16S Mark II Max use, and what is the charging current?

The transmitter uses two 18650 Li-ion cells (included tray) for a typical 2S (7.4V) input voltage between 6.6V and 8.4V. The updated internal charge circuitry supports USB-C charging at up to 2.2A, significantly reducing charge times compared to previous versions, and includes integrated reverse-polarity protection.

Are the V4.0 gimbals on this model user-adjustable?

Yes, the V4.0 Hall sensor gimbals feature external adjustment for stick tension, self-centering spring strength, and total stick travel. This allows pilots to fine-tune the stick feel for precise control, whether for racing, freestyle, or fixed-wing flying, directly from the exterior of the transmitter case.

Does the Joshua Bardwell Edition include any functional differences from the standard TX16S Mark II Max?

Functionally, it is identical to the standard Mark II Max model, sharing the same internal ELRS system, V4.0 gimbals, and EdgeTX firmware. The 'Joshua Bardwell Edition' primarily denotes the distinctive cosmetic package, which includes a carbon fiber faceplate, purple CNC-machined parts, and specific bundled accessories like the LED gimbal light mod set.
