In a race, microseconds count. Goggles down, thumbs up - are you ready for a true 250Hz radio link? End to end latency: barely noticeable. Nothing else comes close! Thanks to 2.4GHz technology, we took the best from Crossfire and shrunk it down to speed it up. The end result: Smaller antennas, more speed, range for days.

INTRODUCING TBS TRACER - 2.4GHZ "CROSSFIRE" RADIO SYSTEM

  • 250Hz: Fastest available radio and telemetry link
  • Brand new 2.4GHz technology not found in any other radio link
  • 3ms end to end latency
  • Crossfire engine for ultimate compatibility and functionality
  • "JR" and "LITE" form factor transmitters
  • Nano-sized receiver with antenna diversity
  • 15mi+/25km+ range
  • For drones, planes, helicopters, cars and boats

THE FASTEST RADIO LINK

In a race, microseconds count. Goggles down, thumbs up - are you ready for a two-way 250Hz radio link? End to end latency: basically zero (okay, 3ms!). Range: for days. Nothing comes close! We took the best from Crossfire and shrunk it down & sped it up.

NOT JUST FOR RACE AND "FREERANGE" PILOTS

A single operation mode satisfies all requirements. A spine-tingling 250Hz refresh rate. Plenty of penetration and range to outperform even the most serious video link. Full telemetry capability is standard, without any range degradation! Thanks to Crossfire pedigree, drone pilots, traditional R/C pilots and everyone in between can instantly tap into the familiar lineup of compatible software, devices, remotes and mounting boards.

EASE OF USE

OTA firmware updates, auto-bind, multi-bind, LUA device configuration such as flight controller PIDs, etc. and cloud connectivity: No problem! These are all features that TBS first brought into the R/C space with TBS Crossfire! All receivers arrive in binding mode and it remembers your bind across all of your radios, so the bind button is technically not needed ever. 

UNDER THE HOOD

TBS Tracer runs on the Crossfire engine. Over 6 years of active development and by far the most popular R/C system for FPV enthusiasts! You instantly tap into the same reliability, features and compatibility that drone pilots see as synonymous to peace of mind. So what's the difference? Higher update rate, lower latency, smaller antennas due to higher frequency. Crossfire users will feel right at home!

FAST!!

More range than I need! I freestyle and I will love video before control, I like it and same features as the regular crossfire

Great Compliment to Your TBS Nano Crossfire

Purchased it for my got to Racing Drones.

The controls of the Tracer RX definitely feel faster and smoother than the Crossfire RX Nano.

Having said that, they each have their benefits/purposes and I have no issues keeping both and enjoy what they both offer.

Really good

Control feels smoother and more locked in with this TX, I didn't really notice a difference with crossfire but I feel like I can with Tracer.

Stupid Simple / Lightning Quick

First time TBS owner and man oh man, why did I wait so long to switch over?! Easy as pie to setup and lightning quick controls when flying. Super “snappy” feeling if that makes sense. Awesome combo. Also, if you have an older QX7 like I do, it does in fact come with the power mod chip to run 400k baud rate.

Wow wow wow this is fast

I was using a QX7 with a R-XSR and fail safe every where. I went to a TX16s with Tracer and feel like I can race and keep up with the others now. Not even close to fail safe. My batteries are not lasting in the drone because I feel like i can trust the quad and fly a lot faster and use the battery. I can’t believe i can fly this fast and accurate. Doing a lot of things I would never of tried before. The installation was a dream and it updated its self with out crazy wiring with a random lua script.
