Description

The RadioMaster Zorro CC2500 Version is engineered as a portable yet fully-featured radio transmitter, merging the ergonomics of a handheld game controller with professional-grade RC control hardware. Its integrated CC2500 RF chip provides stable 2.4GHz communication with a maximum output of 20dBm, supporting a wide array of protocols essential for the FPV and multirotor community. The design prioritizes user interface efficiency with a prominently placed LCD, assignable push buttons, and scroll wheels, all driven by the powerful EdgeTX open-source firmware.

Power and connectivity are central to its design, featuring a built-in USB-C charger for its dual 18350 Li-ion battery configuration (batteries not included) and a dedicated data port. The inclusion of a nano-size external module bay ensures future-proofing, allowing pilots to upgrade to specialized long-range RF systems. The combination of its lightweight construction, comprehensive button layout, and advanced gimbal technology makes it an ideal primary or backup transmitter for pilots who value portability without sacrificing capability.

Key Features

  • Multi-Protocol CC2500 RF Core: Built-in support for ACCST, AFHDS, Hubsan, and other common 2.4GHz protocols, eliminating the need for an external module for basic BNF models.
  • Hall-Effect Sensor Gimbals: Utilize non-contact magnetic sensors for precise, repeatable stick input without the wear or jitter associated with potentiometers.
  • EdgeTX Open-Source Firmware: Offers unparalleled customization for mixes, scripts, and telemetry display, with direct USB connectivity for easy updates and simulator use.
  • Expandable RF Bay: Nano-size external module port accepts popular long-range systems like ExpressLRS and Crossfire for extended control range and link reliability.
  • Integrated Power Management: Features built-in USB-C charging for the internal 2S Li-ion pack and an external DC input for alternative power sources or charging while operating.
  • Ergonomic Control Layout: Designed with multiple assignable buttons, trim switches, and scroll wheels for complex model configuration and in-flight adjustments.

Applications

  • Primary transmitter for micro and whoop-class FPV drones using FrSky or FlySky receivers.
  • Compact, portable controller for traveling FPV pilots and racers needing a full-featured radio.
  • Ideal backup or simulator transmitter due to its USB-C data connectivity and gamepad form factor.
  • Versatile platform for DIY drone builds, leveraging the external module bay for ExpressLRS or Crossfire long-range control.
  • Suitable for pilots transitioning from game-style controllers seeking professional-grade gimbals and software customization via EdgeTX.

Frequently Asked Questions

What protocols does the built-in CC2500 module in the RadioMaster Zorro support?

The integrated CC2500 RF chip supports a wide range of common 2.4GHz protocols, including FrSky D8/D16 (ACCST), FlySky AFHDS/2A, Hubsan, HiSky, and several others. This makes it compatible with many Bind-N-Fly (BNF) micro drones and models without requiring an external transmitter module.

Can I upgrade the Zorro CC2500 for long-range FPV flying?

Yes. The RadioMaster Zorro features a nano-size external module bay at the top. This bay is designed to accept popular long-range RF systems such as ExpressLRS, Crossfire, or R9M modules, allowing you to significantly extend control range and improve link reliability for long-range or penetration flying.

What type of batteries does the RadioMaster Zorro use, and are they included?

The Zorro is powered by two 18350 Li-ion batteries, configured in series for a 2S (7.4V nominal) pack. The batteries are not included with the controller. It features built-in USB-C charging, so you can charge the installed batteries directly via a USB-C cable.

Is the RadioMaster Zorro compatible with flight simulators?

Absolutely. The Zorro includes a USB-C data port. By connecting it to a computer via USB, it can be recognized as a game controller input, allowing you to use it directly with popular FPV flight simulators like Velocidrone, Liftoff, or DRL Simulator for practice without risking your actual drone.
