Futaba R146IP Receiver for Precision RC Control

For dedicated RC pilots and racers, the Futaba R146IP is a compact 6-channel PCM receiver built for dependable performance. It pairs with the Futaba 6EXA Super and other PCM transmitters to provide flexible integration across a variety of models.

Signal Performance and Stability

The R146IP uses narrow band spacing and single conversion filtering to reduce interference and deliver steady, accurate control. This clarity matters for high-speed racing and precise aerobatics, with operation across low to high band channels 11-60 for adaptable use.

Small Footprint with Reliable Range

Measuring 28.7mm long and weighing 16.5 grams, the R146IP is lightweight yet capable, offering a typical receiving range up to 300 meters depending on conditions. It runs on 4.8V-6V to suit common RC power setups.

  • Frequency Bands: Low (11-35), High (36-60)
  • Receiving Range: Up to 300 meters
  • Power Requirement: 4.8V-6V
  • Weight: 16.5 grams

The Futaba R146IP is a solid choice for hobbyists who need precise, low-latency control in both competitive and recreational environments.

How do I bind the R146IP to my transmitter?

Binding follows the standard Futaba PCM procedure for the 6EXA Super and compatible PCM transmitters. Consult your transmitter manual for the exact bind sequence and ensure both units are powered correctly.

Is the receiver suitable for noisy environments?

Yes, the single conversion filtering and narrow band spacing help the R146IP resist interference, but antenna placement and proper grounding remain important for best results.

Can I use the R146IP in foam park flyers?

Absolutely. Its small size and low weight make it a good fit for light airframes, provided your model uses a PCM-capable Futaba transmitter and you follow standard installation practices.

What power source should I use?

The receiver accepts 4.8V to 6V. Use a regulated BEC or receiver battery that provides stable voltage within that range to avoid brownouts during demanding manoeuvres.
