Grayson Hobby discusses the different types of RadioMaster radios available, including the 4-in-1, vs ELRS version. We suggests that if you’re flying planes and want to do a lot of telemetry information, the Tx16 is probably the best option. However,if you’re flying FPV, the Boxer, Tx12 or Zorro are better options. The Boxer radio is a the best option if you want a box radio and that the full-size gimbals feel better than the mini gimbals. If you’re new to the hobby, the Boxer ELRS radio is a good option, but if you already have investment in the hobby, the 4-in-1 radio with an ELRS module is a better choice. In our opinion, the Boxer is the BEST FPV Radio for our needs, however, the size of the radio will really be the deciding factor for you choice.

(00:00) so this question gets asked all the time which radio should I get and which version so we do offer a four in one or elrs well in this case cc2500 but a uh EOS version and a regular 2.4 elrs4 and one whatever all right let go easy if you find Value in this video be sure to give it a thumbs up and hit that Bell And subscribe to our YouTube channel and every little purchase helps from Grayson hobby either a pack of props a boxer radio and everything ships from our showroom here in Atlanta and Georgia if you’re in the area in Atlanta or even in
(00:33) Georgia come by hold the boxer hold a T12 tx12 tx16 yeah or tx16 T12 biggest thing is if you’re flying planes and you want to do a lot of telemetry information you want more data uh touch screen stuff that you can do at a glance and all that I think the tx16 that’s probably the way to go okay um you can do a lot more graphical interface with this that you can’t do with these however the moment you throw goggles on this is worthless in my opinion yes this is absolutely worthless unless you do a lot of tuning without
(01:08) goggles Etc uh which yeah you can yeah no um if you’re flying fpv I’m gonna say these two okay if you are why not that one I don’t like the feel of it all right good next okay it’s nothing yeah no I this is this radio I really think like if you’re a stem program smaller kids smaller hands I don’t have small hands this radio feels a little too small for me okay um fair enough so if you have smaller hands or want something more compact travel tx12 okay Zorro Xbox Elite game controller if PlayStation sure whatever
(01:47) I don’t know I don’t have a blade but Xbox style controller feel kind of for a I love the feel of this with a simulator this feels like playing a video game almost to me I love that boxer if you want a box radio now these are small gimbals these are full-size gimbals okay so this is a full-size Gimbal and I think at the end of the day it just feels like it has more resolution almost to it I I don’t know how to describe it the bigger gimbals the full-size gimbals do feel better than the mini gimbals to me
(02:14) um this radio also features unlike the other ones in elrs is where it shines it has a thousand milliwatt one watt capable elrs transmitter if you buy that version if you’re getting a four in one these are all roughly 100 milliwatt and four in one um this is where it shines as elars this is this is born for the fpv racer with elrs that’s really what this is this is a four in one version that I have here in my hand if you’re already in the hobby you have 20 plus quads you have a dozen planes helicopters whatever then
(02:48) go with the four in one and get an EOS module for the back um elaris is a lot to transition to for if you have all that stuff already in this hobby so I would say um brand new the hobby or it’s a new radio and you’re all drones or all you want to just look forward to newest stuff elrs if you already have investment in the hobby get the foreign one and get the module the modules forty dollars for a module that goes one Watt and they have a bunch of receivers with them right yeah or you can get a starter
(03:17) kit for like 60 bucks right now which granted price who knows with what’s going on in the world how long that’ll stay there but um you can get a starter kit with three receipts looks like the screens are almost the same size yeah the Zorro and the um the boxer pretty much it’s pretty much the same screen yes okay uh the difference is really they take up about the same amount of room oh wow yes they do take up the same amount of room uh that’s literally like the same dimensions in fact let’s just see here I
(03:43) have a suspicion yeah they’re pretty much take up the same amount of room so that’s the zero in the boxer box yeah which we actually ordered the cases for the zorros we haven’t got them yet but I have a feeling that’s just this case um for the Zorro or no it’s it’s different different molding inside take that back there a little spot for the button well that’s good that’s um but yes this radio nice case perfect for travel put in your your gear bag kind of thing and we forgot the extra Frills and
(04:09) it has this and it’s got the gimbal protector yes so when we go like this when basil smashes on your box yes um no but I think this is an awesome radio I mean the feel of this is great if you want something if you don’t care about the color touch screen and you want a lighter radio that’s a great feeling radio without feeling too small like the tx12 if you’ve held the tx12 and you felt too small if you don’t like the game style controllers like the Zorro this is the radio to get I’m going to go ahead and
(04:39) say it right then there this is ultimately I think the best overall all-around radio that radio master has ever released wow that is some big words only thing the only reason I would say if they did a color screen and a touch screen like a tx16 somehow on this like even a small touchscreen I’d be sold I’d pay 300 all day long for that no problem wait no he said 100 all right so that’s about it we told you everything you needed to know and now it’s up to you so yeah the boxer is the way to go okay so
(05:11) I’m gonna stick with my tx16 I fly airplanes mostly airplanes well you like the GPS stuff you like all the fancy I like all elementary crap yeah I do I don’t care about that I fly a basic plane I don’t need it um yeah it’s cool to have but I can also do an audio command or if I’m flying fpv I could put all the information on my goggle screen I also don’t like change change is not good true it did take you a while to switch over yeah yeah but it’s okay I like actually I’m gonna
(05:39) get my antenna with the big or Marine with the big antenna yeah it hits you in the head with it oh the antenna is also removable so when you do break your antenna well don’t they aren’t removable oh no that ain’t removable enough to go inside and buy it separately all right there it is extra auction and hope you enjoy hopefully we confuse you [Music] foreign [Music] [Music]
