RadioMaster TX16S MK3 MAX ELRS Radio Transmitter
RadioMaster has kicked off 2026 with not just one but two new releases. Following the announcement of its TX16S MK3 ELRS Transmitter, they've unveiled the TX16S MK3 MAX. Featuring the same control specs as the standard version, the MAX edition includes multiple color-coordinated aluminum knobs and accents to let you show off your wild side, no matter what type of R/C machine you pilot.
Designed for radio-controlled aircraft (planes, helicopters, and quadcopters), the TX16S MK3 MAX transmitter features a blend of analog controls and a large, crisp touchscreen display for a clear menu display, even in sunny conditions.
The TX16S MK3 MAX also features aluminum buttons and knobs, plus aluminum Hall-Effect gimbals for improved durability and ergonomics. This controller also includes foldable antennas for compact storage and transportation.
On the electronics front, the TX16S MK3 MAX includes an STM32 H7 processor, a dual-band Gemini 2.4GHz and Sub-G 900MHz ExpressLRS internal RF module, and runs EdgeTX.
Four accent colors are available (black, red, blue and gold), and the gimbal light rings feature programmable LED lights for further customization.
