R/C (Uplink) Receiver Selection
The Vortex 230 Mojo is shipped with three receiver interface cables, supporting 4 commonly used interfaces.
a) 3-Pin 0.1” Servo Cable, for S-Bus, and CPPM (5V)
b) 5-pin Picoblade for FrSky XSR receivers (5V)
c) 3-pin JST-ZH for Spektrum DSMX receivers (3V)
Receivers may be mounted externally on the tail-end of the quad, or internally. Internally is definitely the
preferred solution but does require a suitably small receiver.
The following are recommended for internal installation:
1) FrSky XSR, using the supplied XSR cable
2) FrSky X4R-SB, ‘Naked’ version with SBus output

To access the receiver bay for internal receiver mounting, remove the 12 screws which secure the top plate to
the arms, and carefully remove the top plate.
The receiver connector is indicated by the 4-pin connector below. To mount the receiver, a small piece of
double-sided tape may be used on the top of the metal can in the receiver bay.
Finally, the receiver antennas may be routed through the two notches in the bottom of the LED diffuser or the
two notches in front of the rear arms in the side-plates, which is the preferred configuration. Make sure you
apply some extra shrinkwrap to the fragile antenna wires to make sure they put up with some abuse from
rough landings and crashes as well as handling the mini-quad.
