RadioMaster TX16S MK3 Radio Controller | Standard & MAX

RadioMaster TX16S MK3 Standard & MAX Radio Controller

Configure your RC setup with the RadioMaster TX16S MK3, a full-size EdgeTX radio offered here in Standard and MAX editions. The listed STM32H7 processor and 5-inch IPS touchscreen provide a platform for model programming, while the JR-compatible module bay offers room for compatible external RF modules.

At the field, select the correct model profile, verify receiver binding and check failsafe behavior before flight. Choosing the right edition, storage option and RF configuration is essential; the available variants do not all carry the same labels or establish identical hardware.

Choose Your Configuration

• 4GB MAX Red ELRS M2: MAX edition, red, 4GB storage, ELRS and Mode 2 identified in the option label.
• 512MB MAX Blue ELRS M2: MAX edition, blue, 512MB storage, ELRS and Mode 2 identified in the option label.
• 512MB MAX Gold ELRS: MAX edition, gold, 512MB storage and ELRS identified; confirm stick mode.
• 4GB MAX Black ELRS M2: MAX edition, black, 4GB storage, ELRS and Mode 2 identified in the option label.

Platform Features

• STM32H7 processor: Listed processing platform.
• 5-inch IPS touchscreen: Listed 800 × 480 resolution.
• EdgeTX firmware: Supplied specifications identify version 3.0.0 or later.

MAX Edition Details

The supplied MAX information lists AG02 CNC-aluminum Hall-sensor gimbals, aluminum controls, a carbon-fiber-look case and programmable RGB gimbal light rings. These MAX-specific details should not be assumed to apply to Standard options. Confirm the exact gimbal and accessory configuration for your selected edition.

RF and Receiver Compatibility

The MAX specifications describe an internal ExpressLRS system with two LR1121 transceivers, Gemini operation and 2.4GHz / sub-GHz 900MHz bands. Confirm the supplied RF hardware, supported modes and regional configuration for the exact option before ordering.

Match your receiver's frequency band, ExpressLRS firmware and operating mode to the radio. A 2.4GHz-only receiver does not become a 900MHz or dual-band receiver simply because the transmitter supports multiple bands. Binding and failsafe setup must be verified for each model. No fixed range or universally compatible receiver support is guaranteed.
