Default RE: RRS/Royal setup with Spektrum systems


ORIGINAL: KamikazeParanoia

Would there be any differences in setup for a large electric (3000W) 3D model? Im thinking I should have the ESC on failsafe if necessary to cut the throttle if the worst happens? (Im new to spektrum)
I will be installing the Powerbox RRS with two Spektrum AR7600 receivers, 5 16kg Savox servos, speed controller and Spektrum flight log

Would/should I have a Spektrum Voltage Protector (capacitor) plugged into each receiver? or just one throughout the entire setup? Into the powerbox RRS maybe? could two cause harm? (overvoltage?) Or just additional protection?


Thanks Oli, you're a real gem!
In that case you can use point 1 above.
Plug the THR channel of receiver 1 in FS1 plug of the RRS system and into your ESC ( Y cable ).
Plug the THR channel of receiver 2 in FS2.

Avoid using a BEC system since the Spektrum receivers are known to be sensitive to voltage drops. In that case, you'd have one Rx battery plugged to each receiver ( 2 rx batteries total ) and you would not need to add a voltage capacitor to the receiver.
The purpose of the capacitor is to avoid a sudden voltage drop that would result in a receiver re-boot.
