| What I dont understand about your Pro expander type posts is what makes the tiny pins on a Powerbox/expander setup any better than the ones on the reciever???
The trace on the Reciever buss is every bit as capable as on the Power expander.
Both systems are limited by the servo connectors which you have to have at the moment somewhere in your system.
The manual clearly stated 6-10v on the 9100 using one or both of the ec3 connectors.
Using a PowerEx you will have to figure out a connection from the source to supply both the Power Ex and the reciever thru a Deans.
Will get round to trying this weekend.
Note I have the 9100 and a powerex so not biased , I just dont see a clear advantage to using the power expander when using a channel per servo. | |

The difference is that the 9100 only has one output per channel, while the Power Expander has 3 or 4 outputs per channel (depending on which Power Expander you use). When using multiple servos per channel with a Power Expander, each servo gets it own current source instead of sharing with other servos through one standard connector.
You just plug your batteries directly into a Power Expander via deans plugs, and the Power Expander supplies current to the rx, and to the servos. It couldn't be any simpler.
You don't need to use a deans plug to supply power from the Power Expander to the rx when using a Power Expander because the rx only needs a small amount of current. The servo current is no longer running through the rx.
