Overview
The RadioMaster NEXUS-X is a helicopter flight controller specifically designed for RF 2.2, focusing on compatibility, stabilization performance, and clean installation. It uses an STM32F722 MCU with an ICM42688P 6-axis MEMS motion tracker and includes an upgraded 256MB onboard Black Box for extended data logging and tuning.
The controller provides multi-function UART connectivity for a wide range of receiver protocols, and supports Plug’n’Play solder-free RP3-H ExpressLRS receivers (receiver sold separately). A CNC-machined aluminum case helps protect the electronics while acting as a heat sink, and USB-C access is supported via an included extender for tight builds.

Details

Purpose-built for Rotorflight 2.2, NEXUS-X combines a compact layout with clean USB-C access for easy setup and tuning.

An STM32F722 processor paired with the ICM42688P 6-axis IMU delivers fast stabilization response and consistent flight feel.

Expanded 256MB onboard Black Box memory captures longer logs for troubleshooting, tuning, and performance reviews.

The CNC-machined aluminum housing helps protect the electronics while acting as a heat sink in tight helicopter frames.

Key specs at a glance help confirm receiver support, UART mapping, power input range, and telemetry options before install.

A 44.7 × 26.5 × 12.3 mm footprint keeps the controller easy to fit while retaining full connectivity.



Everything needed for a neat build is included, from JST-GH harnesses and a USB-C extender to mounting tape and heat-shrink.
