The ES900TX is Happymodel's updated 915MHz/868MHz ExpressLRS Transmitter module for long range flying. It is based on the open source software ExpressLRS that offer long transmission ranges, a reliable control link, and convenient features like over-the-air updates and a no-button binding procedure.
The Happymodel ExpressLRS system is plug and play with OpenTX radios such as the Radiomaster TX16S, Jumper T16, and Jumper T18. Long range has never been more accessible!
The updated ES900TX module now includes a heatsink and fan to counter the heat released during use. The included 2006 fan now automatically runs when the transmitter power is set to 250mW.
ES900TX: MCU:ESP32+ESP8285 Dimension: 55mm*39mm*11mm Weight: 9.2gram (only the TX module) Antenna connector: SMA VCC input: 5~13v, Recommend 5v~9v RF Frequency optional: 915mhz or 868mhz(EU) Maximum Output Power: <33dBm(For >27dBm operation, we recommend add a fan for force cooling) Wifi update firmware function for ES900TX would be available in a short time.

When the ES900RX is powered on for the third time, the red LED light will start to double flash quickly, which means that the ES900RX enters the binding mode. - Insert the ES900TX or ES915TX module to Radio transmitter, and choose External RF mode to CRSF protocol, then you can find ELRS menu from the Radio systems, Enter into ELRS and press [Bind], the Red LED on the ES900RX module will turning off then start blinking slowly and finally getting to be solid , this means bind successfully.
ES900RX Firmware Update by WiFi Procedure
- Make the ES900RX enter into Bind mode and then wait around 1 minute and don’t bind with it , then the ES900RX would get into Wifi mode automatically, you could connected the wifi hot pot “ExpressLRS RX” by enter the password “expresslrs” - Visit the firmware update website by enter “10.0.0.1” , and choose the correct firmware then click “update” , wait for around 1~2 minutes, the update progress would finished and you can find “firmware update successful and reboot” , that means update is finished.

when i received mine the box and everything was not damaged but when i opened it the canopy was cracked and the VTX did not work when i tried my first battery. I'm alright with the vtx being DOA as all i really wanted was the motors and beeeye camara, But when i reached out to customer service i was blamed for crashing it (even tho i never flew it). beware the QC is total garbage. save your money and buy a Mobula6 from a reputable company like GetFPV for RDQ's. I wasn't going to write a review but after the email i received i don't want anyone else getting scammed.
Darren excelled in selecting the development kit and essential accessories that would have to purchase separately, ensuring I made an informed purchase. His attention to detail and dedication prevented any post-purchase disappointment. I am thoroughly pleased and grateful for his exceptional service.
An absolute pleasure to fly. Handles incredibly well and responds to any input just as I expected.
The only criticism is not of the performance of the drone. Unfortunately, it arrived with damage to the canopy. But I was still able to fly it and make initial observations.
Update process is cumbersome, better if done with the VTX out of the quad. Also the update port is much flimsier than the earlier 2 antenna versions, IMO.
