    I was looking for a receiver to use my TX16S Radio with an electric RC car. This should work correct ? will have just a steering servo and the motor ESC. The voltage telemetry is great since the ESC I will be using is calibrated for Nimh voltages and not Lipo voltages, so to have the radio sound the alarm when I reach the Lipo's critical voltage will be the way to go.

    Try FrSky S6R (6Ch) or S8R (8Ch) receivers with built in stabilisation together with the FrSky Lipo voltage sensor MLVSS, which is going to give you Flight Battery Voltage telemetry for up to 6 cell battery and you can select to display on the telemetry screen of TX16S either the total voltage of the battery or the voltage of the lowest cell (most practical and less confusing when you fly interchangeably models with 2S, 3S, 4S etc).

The receivers each enter "bind" mode (both leds steady), but no sign of any ficker to suggest any bind attempt. Powering off and on again then results in a slow flashing red led at the receiver... Any suggestions please? Charles (in the UK)

    I see it’s been a month since you hoped for a reply, so I’ll take a stab at it.. it’s not possible to rate how far a Vtx will transmit directly since there are so many other factors determining this ( like your goggles Rx antennas postyion and gain, the Vtx tx antenna type and it’s gain, the RF noise around , and the phase of the moon.. but typically a 25mW Vtx can send a decent fly able signal out within a 300 foot radius good enough for a lot of LOS flying and 200 mW is good out to about a km. Hope it helps..

Make sure the reciever is connected with a lipo ofcourse.
