Is The Lightest ELRS RX Going to FAILSAFE? Checking Out The Happymodel EP2 TCXO ExpressLRS Receiver!

Checking out the tiny receivers available within the ELRS ecosystem. This is one of the main reasons I wanted to give ELRS a whirl, just look at how small, lightweight, and compact these are!

    This is a very useful video especially if you're looking to get into ELRS. Thanks for the review 👏👏

    This video is perfect and perfectly timed! I had the Flywoo el24e on the Flywoo Firefly 1S Nano-Baby v1.2 and the newer Flywoo 1S Firefly FR v2.0. has stock Flywoo EL24E! I have always had issues with the ceramic antenna on those two. (Ironically, my AIO HM 2G4 uses same antenna but has better range).

    I cannibalized a whoop and some spare parts and mounted it on a fractal wingman today (3” folding 1s 18650 frame). I was curious about the range of the little ceramic antenna, but I was SUPER impressed. Just over a mile, or 1.5-2Km. I set the packet rate at 50 Hz, and my boxer radio at 50 Hz, dynamic and 1W max output. I had solid signal all the way out to over a mile before I chickened out. And I’m in suburbia! I don’t have transmit power in my OSD, but I’ll definitely add it now.

    Thanks for this! I recently just bought 4 EP2 TCXO RXs for my 5" HDZero Race quads. I think I'll be alright will see. I just love how there is no need for a chopped T-antenna when racing.

    Hi Everyone. Thanks for checking out this video! If you want more information on the ELRS signal health indicators, there's a really good write-up on their site at the link below. Note that I have all the pertinent signal health information in the on screen display (OSD) so you can go back and form your own opinion as well.

    Nice video! I'm using the HappyModel EP1 TCXO on some of my quades. I like their small size and that the temperature compensated crystal may be helpful.

    Everyone talking about how fragile the ceramic is and you mentioning not really wanting to use it because of the signal you were getting, if anything I feel like with it's size and being able to put it pretty much anywhere the supposed fragility shouldn't even matter because it should be protected by the frame. You pretty much couldn't have had a worse situation for that poor RTX where you put it so the fact it was doing THAT good in that terrible spot I'd almost say that's a good selling point. In my case I'm looking to replace an XM+ on my alien frame and it's mounted to the bottom rear of the frame, having the EP2 in the same spot which is much a much more OPEN area, I'd imagine it would do much better than what's happening in your setup and it's not like you had failsafe micro failsafe issues like I do with the XM+ at closer range and direct LOS. Had to get new frame pillars n such with one of the failsafe issues when it pancaked on the street, I was doing a dive when it suddenly failed to respond when I needed it the most for punchout so if it does even a little bit better than that, it's certainly worth it I'd say. If I can get good range with my setup and the EP2 and not have to worry about antennas getting tugged out, chopped up etc I'd say that's an absolute win.

    Nice Test my friend. I did also test Out EP1 EP2 and RP3 if you want see it, check out my Last 3 Videos. I managed to find the Edges i can say. The numbers work different on ELRS you totally fine here i would say🤩. On Crossfire it's different, Lq drop means Signal can get worst very quickly ELRS not so.

    yeah, I played around wiht the EP2's on larger quads... I would not run it. The other thing about them, the ceramic antennas are VERY VERY fragile. IMHO just not suitable for bigger quads like 3" and up. I just use it on tiny whoops.
