FrSky TANDEM XE RS

As the largest form factor TANDEM series 900M/2.4G dual-band ETHOS radio system, FrSky now introduces its upgraded XE RS series tray-style models.
The XE RS series continues to target RC users who prefer tray-style operation with pinch control. It also offers a wide range of flexible switch input types and quantities, while the RS version incorporates new hardware improvements.

MC30R Series Gimbals – Capable of 3D/5D Gimbal Extenders
The MC30R series is all-CNC machined metal gimbals. By attaching the gimbal to a compatible radio model, users can select and install various gimbal extenders (3D/5D) based on the required hardware input type.
In addition to having different gimbal extender compatibilities, all MC30R series gimbals allow multiple adjustments to be made directly through reserved adjustment holes on the front panel, without the need to disassemble the radio shell. The front panel of the MC30R gimbal features dedicated holes for damping adjustment, X/Y-axis spring tension adjustment, ratchet feel adjustment, and Y-axis travel adjustment for any angle between 45° and 60°. Additionally, by using the X-axis limiter tool, users can achieve a 45° X-axis travel.

Dual Color-Screen Design with Upgraded 2.4-inch Screen Display
XE RS series adopts a dual-screen design, the main screen is a 4.3-inch color touch-screen, which is mainly used to operate the ETHOS model and device configurations.
The secondary smaller 2.4-inch color screen gets further enhanced visibility under sunlight compared to the original XE. It is still positioned at the top of the radio to meet the needs of users who wish to have additional information separately displayed. The content displayed on the additional screen can be programmed (such as by Lua, configurable, and personalized by the user) in the system.

Modular Design And Flexiabilities
TANDEM XE RS has been designed with flexibility in mind. It not only features multiple switch input slots for further extending the control needs, it also benefits from customizable switch blocks, which can also be replaced with different input configurations.
Additional design features have been included to meet the needs of wider RC user communities, for example controlling the forward and reverse movement of RC excavators can be achieved by customizing the side All CNC metal levers with the optional self-centering type accessory. Likewise, using the optional 3D/5D extenders mounted on the gimbals offers many possibilities when used with RC ground vehicles. The XE series includes a foldable stand/frame which can be easily folded away in the bottom of the radio body, and its design also provides a good solution to attach the tray radio strap.
