Default Power Box?? Good or Bad

Is anyone using this device? It looks good but I don't want some thing else that is going to fail. I need help to decide if I will use one or not on a 31% CA Extra 300L. Thanks

For a 31% I don't think they are needed. If it were a 40% and you were running 13+ servos then they would be real helpful. I would just keep the 31% CA light and simple though

Thanks for the info. I will be using six 5645's and one 5735 plus a 422 on throtle. I thought about a match box on the ailerons.

I have 4 Hitec 5645s and 1 Hitec 5945 and a fast servo on my throttle for my H9 Edge 540 running a single Rx battery and it has no problems with getting enough juice.

If your a Hitec guy you can buy the Hitec Programmer for $150 and never have to by a matchbox or matching device again. So long as you stick with the Hitecs. I had my friend program them and they are awesome, they don't even buzz because they are so perfectly aligned.

I do have the programmer and I use a lot of Hitec servos. The programmer is very nice for centering and EPA. I was just woried about current load.

Current load, your receiver will be fine and a matchbox won't be needed at all. Thats what you use the programmer for, as long as they are perfectly in sinc then they will not drain a battery or fight eachother you should have no problems
