Futaba 2.4GHz FASSTest Dual Battery Receiver

1.png

Exceptional performance — for extra peace of mind

Because it can be connected to large capacity batteries,
the R7018SB can keep aircraft flying safely if one battery’s voltage levels drop. The R7018SB is a fully dedicated 18-channel receiver with FASST and FASSTest protocols and SBus, SBus2 and High Voltage features. It includes both standard and SBus output ports, plus an extra voltage port for a model’s separate power system, and also allows for a wide array of Futaba telemetry sensors to be utilized.

SPECIFICATIONS:
Dimensions: 2.15 x 1.59 x 0.64 in (54.6 x 40.4 x 16.3 mm)
Weight: 1.48 oz (42 g)


Available: Now: $249.99

I'm in two minds about this, one I really like the idea of a dual redundancy powered RX, but two I'd rather use (for large aircraft) a dedicated power distribution system like booma's powerbus or Powerbox / Smartfly which would make this Rx kinda redundant right?

I guess for 50-100cc just using this might be a great option instead of faking out a couple hundred on a distribution system and another couple on a Rx

For me this receiver provides me everything I want, and that is a robust power delivery using 2 packs directly into the RX. I have never been a fan of either dual receivers or all these others devices that people have convinced themselves are required to fly a big plane. For me I see those as providing more complexity, failures points, higher weight, and greater cost with no clear benefit.

Perfect example. I bought a 38% Extra (DA150) that had a power distribution deal in it. Flew it for about a month like that. Pulled that out went with 2 packs, 2 switches into a single RX and never saw any difference at all. But I saved a bunch of weight.

As I have said many times, these power distribution devices are a very eloquent solution for a nonexistent problem. But if they make you feel good, then go ahead and use them, but I will never be coninvced that they are required or improve performance in any way.
