TBS MAMBO – TBS TRACER ENABLED TRANSMITTER

 

TBS Mambo FPV RC is in a class of it’s own.

Team Blacksheep has redefined the portable remote control with the TBS Tango 2. Now we’re back with one of the most popular requests: a compact full-size remote! The TBS Mambo follows in the footsteps, but focuses on all of the things the Tango 2 tries not to have: a larger screen, traditional form factor with switches and potentiometers, JR module bay, replaceable batteries and trim buttons!

But do not fear: we haven’t made a cookie-cutter remote! With the built-in antenna (external antenna available as optional add-on), the 2-position and momentary gamepad buttons, and TBS Tracer built-in, we’ve accomplished a few “firsts” that put this radio into a class on its own!
