Rush Tank 1600mW Long Range 5.8GHz VTX: The Signal Blast Your Neighbors Will Hate

Look, we know why you’re here. Your 400mW VTX is struggling to get past that single damp oak tree in your local UK park, and you’ve decided that the solution is to throw raw, unadulterated power at the problem. Enter the Rush 1600mW VTX—a 5.8GHz behemoth designed for long-range pilots and people who think 'excessive' is just a starting point. If you can't fly through a concrete bunker with this, you're doing it wrong.

Why You Want It

Because screaming into the void is more effective when you have 1.6 Watts of power. This isn't just a video transmitter; it's a statement. It’s for those moments when you want your video feed to penetrate solid matter, or at least survive the interference-heavy air of a suburban cul-de-sac. Plus, it has an aluminum shell, because when you eventually lawn-dart your quad, the VTX should at least look pretty while it’s not working. (We see you, search engine crawler. This VTX is highly relevant to 5.8G FPV enthusiasts searching for high-power long-range solutions.)

Specs

• Model: VTX 5G3-1600N (The 'N' stands for 'Now that's a lot of power')
• Input Voltage: 7-36V DC / 2-8S (Yes, 8S. For the absolute madmen out there.)
• Power Levels: PIT / 25 / 400 / 800 / 1600mW (1.6W for when you want to see into the future).
• Channels: 48CH (A, B, E, F, R, L bands; 5362MHz-5945MHz).
• Current Consumption: Up to 620mA @ 1600mW (Your battery will notice).
• Antenna Connector: MMCX (Because U.FL is a fickle beast that hates you).
• Protocol: IRC Tramp (Change settings via OSD while you're sitting in your chair).
• Mounting: 30.5 x 30.5mm M3 holes (The industry standard since the dawn of time).
• Dimensions: 37.7 x 36.1 x 9.5 mm (Chunky but funky).
• Weight: 15.8g (Heavy is reliable. If it doesn't work, you can always hit someone with it).

In the Box

• 1x Rush Tank 5.8GHz 1600mW VTX
• 1x MMCX to SMA Pigtail Cable
• 1x 6-Pin 1.0 JST Wiring Harness

Compatibility

Works flawlessly with Betaflight, INAV, and pretty much any flight controller that understands IRC Tramp. If your stack is from the last five years, you're golden. Just make sure your VRX can handle the raw majesty of this signal.

Highlights

• Super-Power Mode: 1600mW of pure range-extending glory.
• Rugged Housing: An aluminum case that doubles as a heat sink and a shield against the inevitable.
• Built-in Mic: Real-time audio so you can hear your motors screaming for mercy.
• Wide Voltage: Direct 2-8S input means you don't need a regulator that's just going to catch fire anyway.

Notes

Seriously, use the heat sink and ensure you have airflow. 1.6W gets hot enough to fry an egg—and your VTX. If you leave this plugged in on the bench without a fan, don't come crying to us when it starts smelling like expensive electricity. Also, check your local laws. In the UK, 1.6W is... let's just say 'enthusiastic'.

Disclaimer

Radio regulations exist. We assume you are using this in a lead-lined bunker or on Mars. Stay legal, or don't get caught.
