While I do like these new and overall smaller sensors, I do see some potential flaws. For starters, as of this typing I can buy the current available sensors for as little as $8 a sensor. Don't know how much more these newer ones will cost as of this posting. Also the older sensors, as you noted, can be "piggybacked" with just one of the sensors having to go into a RX channel. Now you will HAVE to buy the CEV04 module do that, if it's even still compatible. Note as well that only with the enhanced receivers can one set the individual channels to specific outputs unless something changed that I'm not aware of. I'm not sure if iBus2 has faster data transfer rates or what but for me, I'm keeping what I currently use which is mainly, the now older, temp and voltage sensors.

Yeh will have to have a good look at how best to use these but as of now I can only find them listed at around £40 each which is crazy price increase if that is what they retail for.

@@WTFRCCars $50!!?? I may as well buy Futaba gear then. Unreal if that's true.

[@WTFRCCars]

I thinks it's just early sellers trying to cash in

[@Larfinkle]

Very nice size! Does the GPS work for nb4??

[@WTFRCCars]

No nb4 has no GPS function

[@PcItalian]

Will this work with the flysky FS-G7P?

[@WTFRCCars]

These require ibus 2 so unless the G7P has Ibus 2 then they won't work with it but I'll have to check

[@WTFRCCars]

Hi I have checked but no the G7P can not do ibus 2 so only the older type sensors will work and not these on the current firmware.

[@albertkelly7129]

Nothing about these sensors makes any sense. They are obscenely priced [about 5x the cost of the older sensors!!] and in fact only cost slightly less than the GPS module/multi sensor! Further they've lost the piggyback function, the cable looks to be extremely short and they dont do anything new or better than the older sensors do. Every single thing is worse. Something Im missing here? lol

[@WTFRCCars]

The sensors do far more than the old ones and have much higher data transfer bandwidth available, they also don't affect the latency of the radio and are designed to connect through the ibus 2 connectors so don't need daisy changing hope that clears things up a bit, also think the prices will be cheaper when the availability goes up as it looks like the 1st sellers are trying to up the price :(

[@jezuzxxx]

I’m so confused

[@WTFRCCars]

What about?
