Hi Everyone,

I was curiuos to if anyone still using a Zorro ? Is there thoughts ? Any improvements ? I remember there was concerns about the battery size a few years ago. Has anyone made any improvements on battery ? Any other improvements ? :unsure:

Open to all input,
Al

Do you already have one, or are you just wondering about it?

Never used one, but held one and it is fairly comfortable for thumbing the sticks. Limited # of inputs. Uses 18350 battery cells which do have less capacity than most other RadioMaster setups. It's an OK radio, but not one I would use. I have the pocket and TX16 radios. It runs EdgeTX so plenty capable of running most protocols with the appropriate modules.

You can use an external battery with straps

Quick search from known reputable sources for LiIon cells shows max capacity around 1600mah. DON'T pay more than $5 a cell for those. They are probably bogus. The RM ones are only 900mah for a pair at $10.

Thank you Litter Bug for posting the pictures. I do have a Zorro. Right now it doesn't get any use. My plan is to get my grandson into flying. I think the Zorro can be perfect for him. The transmitter I use is a Radiomaster TX16.

I have bought from this outlet before. Not this size though.
