The R168 is exactly the receiver I've been waiting for in vain from FRSky: * 8 pwm outputs * Proper plastic case * VBAT input without fiddling with external resistors * Proper servo connector outputs for sbus and s.port, no soldering flimsy wires * Decent bind button * Ability to easily select which flavour of ACCST I want to use So much better than the RX6R I've been using as my default receiver and less than half the price. All I want now is a stabilised equivalent to the S8R with the same VBAT input and a similar price saving!
Hey Chris! Why oh why are FrSky not giving us what we want rather than trying to peddle stuff the hobby isn't interested in any more? They had the entire market for cheap, OpenTX powered systems sewn up and blew it leaving the door wide open for RadioMaster and Jumper.. Happy holidays!
Hey Painless, I have the Radiomaster TX16s radio with the R86 & R88 receivers. In four different planes and they all keep telling me RSSI LOW a lot, so I did the "fine tuning”, and it has reduced the number of times it telling me that RSSI LOW to once or twice a flight. any ideas of what to try I have not found any thing to tell me the proper placement of the antennas. I have been installing one straight back from the receiver and the other at 90 degrees of the other. could this be my problem? How do you place the antennas? Thanks!!
Low RSSI can be caused by lots of things and you've done the basics on the radio to remove those. Antenna routing, placement, alignment and local RF noise at the field all take their toll...
The R168 DID not work out of the box for me. Was confused at first since I didnt immediately find any firmware options for it online, but it was just hidden somewhat down on the radiomaster download center page. After that I unfortunately had to cut off a couple of spare servos wires to make something what would flash the new firmware. Use the S.Port, voltage and ground port to flash.
Same here. You would think the instructions would mention the protocol required and all, as it's a Radiomaster receiver most likely purchased for Radiomaster transmitters. Typical idiots running the show. This is just in case the Radiomaster idiots pop in with something to say...Per instructions for binding R86C: 1) Turn on your transmitter and select the desired protocol...Yup, just select whatever desired protocol you want.
Many thanks for your informative videos. I purchased a couple of R88 V2's recently in both LBT and FCC models. I cannot for the life of me get them program a failsafe. After applying the failsafe throttle -100% settings in my RM TX16's the motor just spins on at it's last setting after turning off the TX. I also tried the Receiver option in failsafe and that didn't work either. The LBT model binds in FrSky X LBT and the FCC again in FrSky X D8 or D16. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong, would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Bind using the D16 setting. It is not possible to customize Failsafe with D8 protocol, you can use D16 to re-bind, select Receiver or Custom in the remote Failsafe, and then press the receiver button within 10 seconds of the receiver being powered on.
@@Painless360 Thank you very much. That did the trick nicely on both the FCC and LBT RX's. I also didn't realise D8 didn't support failsafe. Thanks again. 👍
Can you please advise whether the R86 or R88 D8 receivers will be compatible with a Taranis QX7S receiver with the ACCST system as it does give you a D8 option in the setup menu?
The R88 V2 receiver is Frsky D8 / D16 and Futaba SFHSS Compatible so should work with a multiprotoocl rdaio. See the videos on the product page over at Radiomaster - www.radiomasterrc.com/products/r86-receiver
I see that RM dropped their D16 series of receivers awhile back and although I was able to still buy some does it mean that there is no RM RX product that supports s.port. ?. (Rather than using a timer on my TX I have always used a FrSky battery cell level sensor connected to the s.port of the RX).
Great video. I have been following all of your ethos videos since I also have a x18 transmitter. Now for the radio master question. I purchased a R88 receiver which apparently is a early version, not a v2 and I cannot get it to bind to my frsky 18s. I wonder if I’m doing something wrong. The protocols available are access, assist d16, and Tmode. There is not a d8 mode.
The R88 is an ACCST V1 receiver from that I recall. I made a video in the ETHOS playlist about the options to connect to ACCST V1 receivers (using an extra module). I hope that helps.
@@Painless360 yes it does. Thank you. I will look for that video. I purchased it from Armsoar on the same order with my transmitter so I “assumed” it would work. I’m not prepared to buy another module at this time. Will the current R88 V2 bind to the X18s without a module?
@@Painless360 again, thank you so much. I fly gliders so I always look for your ethos and glider related videos. You have an incredibly pleasant and informative way of explaining your topics.
Hi. im unable to bind my R88 V2 receiver (which i thaught it would support ACCST v2.0 as name mentions v2 on it) to my Taranis qx7 which uses ACCST v2 version. Is there any possibilities on upgrading the R88 V2 receiver to support ACCST v2 D16 protocol? And what is that cable that is been provided with the receiver? Is that an smart port connector?
Will the R88 V2 work with the Tandem X20 without a module? If we have to Flash it with ACCST V2 as you mentioned in your video, I cannot seem to find the link to the file on the Firmware page. Could you please post that here?
Not sure, I've not got one here to try. If it is ACCST v1 (I suspect it is but can't say for sure) then you'll need a module in the radio, see my ETHOS series for how to talk to ACCST V1 receivers.
Thanks for the video. I've been going through your channel over the past few weeks and it has been super helpful getting me started in RC. I have some questions - I'm just getting into RC and I'm thinking that I should go with the Boxer as is has a bunch of channels and knobs, high transmit power, and supports telemetry. I plan to work in Ardupilot with a Pixhawk/controller that can run Arduplane and am wondering: - How to find a receiver compatible with the Boxer and supports receiving the sensor data from the flight controller/Arduplane, and support SBUS/PPM for the flight controller. - Is an SBUS/PPM output/input on the receiver what sends telemetry back to the transmitter? Is transmission of controller telemetry into the Boxer-sytle of transmitter screen even possible? - Does the Boxer work with SBUS or PPM, or is that up to the receiver I choose? - Can Ardupilot even send telemetry back to the Boxer or is that an iNav thing? Thanks!
Hey Josh, building UAV systems can be a lot of fun but there are loads of terminology that can get in the way. I just finished a video on ESC protocols and have one planned to revisit receiver protocols soon. But in the mean time - - If your Boxer is a Multiprotocol one, I'd look at the X8R, X4R, XSR and similar receivers from FrSky. - SBUS sends signals to the flight controller digitally. It's one way. Receiver to flight controller. - SBUS is down to the receiver. All of the ones in the first answer will provide SBUS - Yes. Using a separate Telemetry link. Smartport is something on those receivers too and I have many videos showing the setup. Check out my series aimed at beginners for the technology you want. Also, check out the Yaapu videos for how to use telemetry too.. Best of luck!
Thank you! I think I’d prefer ELRS for the 1 Watt so I will look into that. It’s exciting to find out more (especially through your channel!) for understanding, knowing what’s out there, and getting set up. Thanks from Canada
Great video. I was not aware Radiomaster had a good selection of receivers. I am trying to select a receiver for a 500 size Heli, the Align T-REX 500XT with BD AXON FBL and pair it with my Radiomaster TX16S. The R161 seamed a good option as I can connect it to the FBL system via s.bus. Shame that it only supports up too 6v. I was hoping to run everything on 8.4v as all servos can as well as the FBL. Doo you know off any option that can bind to radiomaste and supports up to 8.4v? Thanks
I think I ended up with D8 on my Taranis so I could fly some-or-other tiny whoop. Just got the R84 rx for a glider. Was struggling to stump up the £25 or whatever Frsky wanted for their receiver. Was surprised how small it was. Cheap as chips too. Not used it yet, but I’m sure it’ll suit my needs.
CAA just emailed me , from 31st December any drone under 250g with a camera needs to be registered. So my 19g whoop I fly inside my house needs registering??????
dear sir how can we connect sbus into spektrum port given in most FC? do we have to use voltage divider/limiter as spektrum states 3.3-3.6v on their system whereas radiomaster states 5-6v!!
Any idea on why my Omnibus F4 Pro wont detect R161 SBus? It works fine with Pixhawk and my F4 Pro can detect SBus just fine with my X8R. Tried to flashed it with the Radiomaster firmware with no sauce.
@@Painless360 Yep, it's working. Weird, but just switched it with my Frsky receiver thats on my Pixhawk (the R161 is used in the Pixhawk now) and problem seems solved :). Just putting it here in case other people have the same problem. Thanks!
I ordered the r168 and some of the other. The r168 has a vbat in for telemetry which is great for non fc fpv airplane. At least my radio will get vbat info and rssi
Great receivers, Great price, I love them and are the only receivers that I use these days, as I do NOT want to outlay extra cash to upgrade to ACCESS while My Taranis still works fine!!! Thanks RadioMaster!!!✔ 👍

Hi Lee @painless360, i have a couple of older R168s that have been withdrawn from the market which are D16 receivers. Now my question is, would it be possible to setup these Rx to work in couples to have 16channels? Or is it possible to set it up in a way it transmits 9-16 channels through the servos on sbus mode? Has anyone tried that?
I've not as I never managed to get another one to try before FrSky stopped RadioMaster selling them. I wouldn't expect that is the case as I didn't see anything about that in the manual..

Thanks for info Lee! Re the S-port - I have a number of frisky sensors - amp, bat/cell, etc. will there by any issues getting that telemetry back to the TX.? Thanks
It is not as simple as selecting F.PORT on the FC board and expect the receiver to work with it, right ? To work with FPORT we'd need a FW update from Radiomaster ?
FrSky lost the plot years ago and stopped listening to what we wanted. It would be so easy for them to get back into the lead with a little effort, but they'd have to stop drinking their own cool-aid to do that and I'm still not seeing that happening anytime soon.. Happy holidays!
they run ACCST? so if you're on the old version you need to reflash? or is that the old one- so brainless here YES ACCST is the old one answered my own ? ! merry xmas
Now you went and done it.....so much data covered that I must watch again . Lol. Another toy , might just buy a few , to justify the transmitter . Which means building something to put them in .... poor wife . Stay safe my friend .

These are X8R clones, even X8R Frsky firmware works on them, I just flashed one with it.. any transmitter with ACCST D16 will work..

3dxr have lots.. Happy flying
So since they do D8 and D16 they will work with my Taranis XD9 Plus SE?

What is the difference between d8 and d16 protocol?
One specific difference is that d8 does not allow to set custom failsafe settings, in contrast to d16. For the rest I don’t know 🤷🏼♂️
Thx Lee. Any long range receivers?
Not yet - if you need more than a couple of km check my Tracer and Crossfire videos..
These receivers look great for wings, I guess for quads is the small D8, but range won't be good for 5 inchers, mostly whoops then
D8 has great range - it's only the SPI versions that are not great..

Anybody knows how to enable F.PORT on the R161 ?
Check the firmware for it on the site - www.radiomasterrc.com/article_cat-14.html there is an Fport flavour..
It is not as simple as selecting F.PORT on the FC board and expect the receiver to work with it, right ? To work with FPORT we'd need a FW update from Radiomaster ?
Remember the as a Patreon you can always ask me a question on there via a PM for a far more detailed answer.. Happy flying
Would these work in rc cars
Should do... Best of luck
So it is time for Frsky to play catch up with Radiomaster.
FrSky lost the plot years ago and stopped listening to what we wanted. It would be so easy for them to get back into the lead with a little effort, but they'd have to stop drinking their own cool-aid to do that and I'm still not seeing that happening anytime soon.. Happy holidays!
they run ACCST? so if you're on the old version you need to reflash? or is that the old one- so brainless here
YES ACCST is the old one answered my own ? !
merry xmas
Never tried them myself but sound good lee.we have a few different protocol relievers but not these.stay safe lee happy xmas
D8 is not legal in Europe?
Oh my, if only somebody told me about it earlier xD
Well, nobody knows...
Oh wait, lol
Now you went and done it.....so much data covered that I must watch again . Lol. Another toy , might just buy a few , to justify the transmitter . Which means building something to put them in .... poor wife . Stay safe my friend .
Day 1 nice prize
Really want redundancy before I stick them into my 600+ dollar models.
the acronyms for receivers must have peaked.
Makes no sense to continue with that nightmare.
