Kimpok ELRS RX-500MHz Receiver

Kimpok ELRS RX-500MHz Receiver is a compact ExpressLRS receiver designed for RC control systems in FPV drones, fixed-wing aircraft, wings, and other remote-controlled builds. Operating in the 500 MHz band, it is intended to work with a compatible ELRS transmitter module set to the same frequency range.

This receiver is a great fit for projects where low weight, small size, and a stable control link matter most. The set includes the receiver, antenna, connection cable, and protective heat shrink, making it easy to prepare for installation in your model.

ExpressLRS 500 MHz for Reliable RC Control

The Kimpok RX-500MHz uses the ExpressLRS system, a popular RC link standard widely used in FPV drones and RC hobby builds. The receiver is responsible for delivering control signals from your radio system to the flight controller, making it one of the key components for maintaining a dependable link with your aircraft or vehicle.

• ExpressLRS system – a modern RC control standard trusted in the FPV world.
• 500 MHz operating band – requires a compatible ELRS transmitter on the same band.
• For drones and RC models – suitable for FPV quads, wings, airplanes, and other custom builds.
• Low latency response – ideal for fast and precise control.
• Telemetry support – feedback data transmission depending on hardware and software configuration.

Compact Receiver for Lightweight FPV Builds

The small receiver board makes installation easier even in tight spaces. That is especially important in FPV drones, where room inside the frame is limited and every extra gram counts. The module can be mounted in a frame, wing, or other RC platform, with proper wire routing and antenna placement for best results.

The included protective sleeve helps secure the receiver once the wiring is connected. This gives the board extra protection from accidental contact with the frame, wires, or nearby electronic components.

• Compact design for easier installation in small models.
• Low weight suitable for FPV drones and lightweight wings.
• Connection cable included for quick hookup to a flight controller.
• Protective heat shrink helps shield the electronics after installation.
• Designed as a control receiver, not a video receiver.

Included Antenna for Flexible Mounting

The package includes a receiver antenna that should be mounted in a location with the best possible radio performance. Proper antenna positioning has a major impact on control link quality, so it is best to avoid routing it directly alongside power wires, carbon fiber parts, or sources of electrical interference.

The antenna included in the set features a long design that makes it easier to route the active section outside the tight space of a frame. This gives you more freedom to optimize placement for your specific model and reduce signal attenuation caused by structural components.

• Antenna included – no need to source one separately to get started.
• Easier antenna routing – helps position it outside the model frame.
• Better separation from electronics – more flexibility to reduce interference.
• 500 MHz operation – requires matching ELRS transmitter settings and band compatibility.

Flight Controller Connection and ELRS Setup

The Kimpok RX-500MHz receiver should be connected to the flight controller according to the wire labels and signal pad markings. In a typical setup, an ELRS receiver communicates with the flight controller through a serial interface, so before powering up, make sure the power, ground, and signal wires are connected correctly.

For proper operation, the receiver must match the transmitter in both frequency band and ExpressLRS configuration. Before first use, it is a good idea to check the firmware version, bind phrase, model match, and telemetry settings to avoid binding issues or unexpected signal loss.

What’s Included and Usage Recommendations

The package includes the items shown in the product photo: an ELRS receiver, antenna, connection cable, and protective sleeve. This is the core set needed for basic installation in your model, excluding the ELRS transmitter, flight controller, and other onboard electronics.

• Kimpok ELRS RX-500MHz Receiver – 1 pc
• 500 MHz Antenna – 1 pc
• Connection Cable – 1 pc
• Protective / Heat Shrink Sleeve – 1 pc

Before powering on, make sure the receiver and transmitter operate on the same band and use matching ExpressLRS settings. Do not route the antenna directly next to power wires or interference-generating components. After installation, always perform a range test and verify failsafe behavior before the first flight.
