The FrSky Tandem TD R18 Receiver sets a new benchmark in RC link reliability and performance. Unlike traditional 2.4GHz or 900MHz receivers, the TD R18 operates simultaneously on both 2.4GHz and 900MHz bands in Tandem TD mode delivering ultra-low latency control with extended range and exceptional anti-interference performance.

Designed for serious pilots, the TD R18 features a triple antenna system for multi-directional wide coverage, ensuring stable signal integrity even in challenging RF environments. The newly designed compact 900MHz antenna offers equivalent high performance to previous larger designs while saving space inside your model.

A built-in Black Box module records critical power and signal data during unusual flight conditions. With optional SD card expansion, pilots can store full control and flight attitude logs for detailed post-flight analysis. The receiver also includes a built-in Power Switch function via an external switch panel/NFC switch panel connection.

With 18 fully configurable channel ports (PWM, SBUS, FBUS or S.Port), plus support for FBUS protocol integration with telemetry devices such as Neuron ESCs and advanced sensors, the TD R18 offers unmatched flexibility for complex builds and high-performance aircraft.
