NEW PB Royal/DSM2

[Reza]

Dear All,

Many of you are familiar with PowerBox products and how reliable they have proved to be over the years! Their newest line includes the Royal and New Champion but it doesn't stop there!

Recently they have started a new project and have accommodated DSM2/Spektrum technology with help of HorizonHobby to bring you the most complete package in the leading edge technology!

Reliability of Spektrum and DSM2 in 2.4 arena are known to everyone. Also the reputation of PowerBox Royal is not unheard of! Now imagine a fully proportional 12 channel technology in PB Royal!

I am proud to introduce to you PB Royal/Spektrum soon to be released!

This new product that will be produced very soon will be sold by major PB dealers, HorizonHobby and its dealers! It was exhibited in the biggest "ToyFair" in Germany and will be available in the next few months.

Stay tuned for the review of this product that may happen before the production by myself.

Please see the teaser pictures and check this out as well http://www.spektrum-rc.de/

Regards,
Reza Gholamipour

Wow now this is real neat, and another great example of Spektrum technology really leading the way. I have the PB Royal, and think that it is a real great product. I didnt use it in my new 40% because with the JR 1222 and the use of A123's I felt there wasnt much of a need. I guess unless I was going use more than 12 servos in something I am still not sure of the advantages with this new Power Box. Can someone give examples of why use new powerbox over R1222? Any idea of price?

R1222 is a power distribution unit that has battery redundancy. New PB offers that plus servo matching for 5 channels, built-in regulators at 5.9 or 7 volts and an LCD that gives you flight data. New PB also has the receiver built-in and place for 4 remote receivers.

I am not sure about the price. This has not be determined yet and there are lots of testing going on at the same time.
I'll be one of the testers but there are other major companies that will be doing extensive testing until that is complete, price won't be announced.

The pictured unit is a functional unit!

That qualifies as very cool stuff. Just way too cool!!!

I have 6 airplanes, 3 of them with Powerboxes, the last my 60% , imagine how many matchboxes I would have used if I didn't have the Powerbox Royal, I count 8.
I fly JR so this will be perfect for me.
