Is that all part of the $3000 18MZ package or do you need additional stuff to get the data to the receiver or whatever it is that transmits the data down? For example, if I run a regulator between my 2 cell LiPo and the receiver, how does the system get the LiPo battery voltage?

The RX voltage that is sent from the R7008SB RX is whatever the bus voltage is. There is nothing else to buy or do to get this. If you are running a regulated system it still only reads the RX voltage. You could wire it up before the regulator and into the external battery port, but then you would lose the motor pack voltage.

For the external battery voltage you need to get the wire and tiny plug that plugs into the External battery port. This will then send the motor pack voltage.\\\THe rest of the telemetry simply requires connecting the desired sensors to the S.Bus2 port. I currently have the altitude/pressure sensor. There are also 2 kinds of RPM sensors, a temperature sensor, and a GPS (coming in 1/13). The R7008SB RX allows for up to 30 sensors to be connected to the RX.
