What ExpressLRS publishes for the EP1 RX

The EP1 RX is a receiver, filed in receivers inside RC, drones and radio. Figures in the spec table come from the dated ExpressLRS page named above, not from another publisher and not from an inferred test.

ExpressLRS lists battery as 5 V pad listed; frequency as 2.4 GHz ELRS; channel as CRSF; tx power as telemetry listed.

The Amazon button is the purchase path for this page. It does not make Amazon the specification source. Where the maker page and the listing disagree, the maker page wins and the conflict is treated as a gap rather than averaged.

Does the published battery of the EP1 RX decide a purchase?

Only as a published number. ExpressLRS lists battery 5 V pad. That is useful for comparison against other receivers that publish the same field. It is not a measurement taken for this review, and this page gives the product no score.

Where to buy the EP1 RX, and the price

The Amazon button opens a search for ExpressLRS EP1 RX, which listed at about $15 on 10 September 2026. Treat the price as a snapshot. Commission on the outbound link is disclosed above the button.

What is missing from the EP1 RX spec sheet

Questions

Why does the EP1 RX have no score?

Nobody at PickBadger has handled the EP1 RX, so there is no assessment to put a number on. This page records the specifications ExpressLRS publishes on its own dated product page and names the figures it leaves out. A score appears only when a named reviewer can state the basis for it.

How much does the EP1 RX cost on Amazon?

This page recorded about $15 on 10 September 2026. That is a snapshot, not a live quote. The Amazon button opens the listing used here, in a new tab, with rel sponsored nofollow. The link is an Amazon search for ExpressLRS EP1 RX. Check the listing before you buy. Commission is disclosed above the button.

What specs does ExpressLRS publish for the EP1 RX?

ExpressLRS publishes battery 5 V pad on the dated source named in the spec table. That is a maker figure, not a measurement taken for this review. Neighbouring numbers absent from the table stay unpublished rather than being copied from another site.

What has ExpressLRS not published for the EP1 RX?

The spec table marks certification as not published. Those cells are left blank on purpose. Filling them from a retailer bullet or another publisher would break the sourcing rule this site is built on. The dated source is named in the spec table.

Has PickBadger tested the EP1 RX?

No. This page is a sourced specification record, not a test, and it carries no score. It does not report handling, wear or measured performance. Figures come from the dated ExpressLRS page named in the spec table, and unpublished cells stay blank rather than being filled from another publisher.
