42 Percent
 
Power Distribution

Power distribution systems of 42 percent contain all features to supply your model (read receiver, servos etc.) with sufficient power.

BigPlanes selected the power distribution systems from 42 percent because they contain all functions needed and because they are affordable.

 
  

The prime functions of a power distribution system are:

  • being able to connect many high power servos (read high current)
  • being able to connect 2 batteries to support big currents
  • Increased reliability by using double batteries, double switches and double power wiring
  • being able to use long wires (up to 10meter) towards the servos
  • being able to control multiple servos using a single receiver channel. No Y-cables needed

Pictures to connect or use the power systems can be found in the detailed description of each of the products.
