Just bought a DS-24 and looking to use Central Box 400. Would like anyone who is using this combo to give me your thoughts on this setup. Thanks

CB 400 is fine.....not sure what your looking for? I used mine (not in used at the moment) in a large plane, with 3 R3's (one as switch)

When ever I need to use it again it would be one REX7 Assist, 1 R3 2.4 and 1 R3 900....

It depends on what you are going to do with it.. I find that most jets don't need that much capability, and that a CB200 will do the job, or a combination of 200 and 100's. But the CB400 is pretty capable, It can power an entire airplane, turbine and all with 2 Batteries

I was going to use the 400 box with the 100 receivers as the bus setup for my large Skymaster F-18. Just looking for input from those who have used it. Good the bad any suggestions you may have. I have lots of scale extras and a bunch of servos so this will by far be the most complicated setup I have done.

I think we need more details......all I can say is the CB400 works well so does the 200 and the 100......not sure what you mean by the 100 receivers....

I’m using 2 cb400’s. I love the regulators built in, the telemetry is amazing, and the absolute control of everything is awesome.

Hey check this out... I ordered one... it has telemetry expander ports but they are programmed with the exbus technology so they do not cut/divide the speed of the Telemetry sensor like the expanders do. I don't totally understand it but basically it's a better way to add expanders if you want the Telemetry devices to run at the highest rate, which i do. I also wanted it originally as a fuel consumption telemetry device. But it has a g sensor too so thats cool... just thought I would throw this out there because it's pretty sweet and great for Jeti people. mine is pre-ordered but i think they are releasing any day now.

Thanks guys. I’m using this setup in my 1/5 skymaster F-18. I have lots of extra scale functions. I just switched from spektrum so I have a little learning to do.

I think you will find plenty of channels/options for your F-18 with a CB400. I'm barely using half the channels on my Havoc.

The exact same way as you would on the Cb2XX, so 1 into RX1, 1 into RX2 and the third one as a switch unless it’s a 900 then into the Ext with the port set as Receiver in the main page of the CB400….

You need to bind the RX to the model in the wireless page under the advance menu…..

Also make sure on that page that you select 24 channels on that same page.

thank you so much''

i now realize my question was quite vague

i want to know the settings in device explorer for all 3 options:

usually it shows

r1------
----CB400
r2-----


what should settings be in all 3 with regards to output period, dual redundancy, alarms, telemetry, fail safe, etc...
