An interesting new product from TBS.

A nano RX combined with an improved unify pro32 nano VTX in one board. Comes with Immortal T antennas and both 20x20 and 30x30 mounting options as well as an optional tin shielding box.

I like the idea. Especially the shielding. It has always been advised to keep the rx and vtx away from each other.
Looks like they are really trying to be the big player on hobby flying stuff. Be great if they went digital, though I believe they wouldn’t tell you they are developing it until they can get it right.

I wish this was a thing when I built my toothpick and my Podracer lol :man_facepalming:t2:

You could always upgrade them all now for probably £150+ :rofl:

To be fair, the mount board I used in both builds has done the exact same thing lol

Yeah the new Sixty9 has a plug in connector that you just plug into the Sixty9 and then solder the other end to the flight controller lol so only cuts the soldering to the actual mount board. Lol

But if you get them, the existing stuff are then spares. You always need spares

Although its actually cheaper to buy the Sixty9 rather than buying the RX and VTX separately lol

The latest CRSF protocol from what I can tell its improved latency between the RX and flight controller. Need to be running the latest firmware on all the TBS stuff as well as the latest release of betaflight.

Oh and needs to be on the latest version of OpenTX and this is what is causing the delay. Soon the Tango2 will be running OpenTX and not freedomTX as the OpenTX devs have agreed to implement all the changes that TBS made to their branch of OpenTX (freedomTX.)

TBS are waiting on the OpenTX devs releasing the latest version with all their changes before they roll out CRSF V3.
