Default Spektrum & Mah consumed

Okay, aside from an obvious radio upgrade (im using dx6i)

What exactly would I need to get MAH consumed with a spektrum system.

I'm tired of using a timer and I'd like to know exactly what my packs are doing mid-air.

Thanks. PS I plan on getting a Telemetry ready Radio soon. Dx6 black probably.

i wouldn't mind to know too.. just got a new dx8 gen 2 and have ar7200bx with tm1000. I think it has rpm, volt and temp sensors but don't think the volt sensor is the same as a current sensor. so no mah used ... hopefully some chimes in soon

They did not have this available when I bought my Jeti.

Continuous Maximum Current: 60A
Maximum Peak Current: 140A

BTW - I found this on their web site, the manual can be downloaded.

If you're willing to wait a little while you can probably get away with these two items coupled with a new telemetry capable radio

http://www.horizonhobby.com/radios/t...ensor-spma9605

Keep in mind that if you ever plan on using "rescue" in the future with your ikon, you may find it very beneficial to have a 7-8 channel radio. This will allow you to use your gain, banks, and rescue independently without needing a computer (or bluetooth) to adjust your gains through the software.

If you are unwilling to wait for the release of those new receivers, you can probably find one of the "discontinued" (HH has been changing the status often) TM1000 modules and bind it with your receiver and the current sensor....but you'll still need another radio.

Spektrum has not made this a priority for them, and they've been dragging their feet to produce terrible half-assed solutions that really miss the mark when it comes to our part of the hobby.

Hence, why I ditched my DX9 and bought a Jeti...

I use RCtroniX in addition to the Spektrum TM1000, so I can get the info I need on my DX9.
