EdgeTX Operating System
Preinstalled
with EdgeTX, the MT12 has cutting-edge software fit for its class-leading hardware. RadioMaster works closely with the EdgeTX team to develop new features and optimize the user experience for surface models. We will continue to contribute and support projects like EdgeTX, ensuring the concepts of open standards are carried forward.
Available with ExpressLRS and 4in1 Version
In addition to the popular internal 4-in-1 Multi-module, the MT12 is also available with an internal 2.4GHz ExpressLRS (ELRS) module. Designed to provide reliable long-distance control, super low latency, and high refresh rates. ELRS is a revolutionary open-source protocol taking the R/C industry by storm.
ExpressLRS VERSION
ExpressLRS supports ultra-fast response modes for seat of your pants racing or super long range modes for pushing the limits of your adventures.
