What is S.BUS?Unlike conventional radio control systems, the S.BUS system uses data communication to transmit control signals from a receiver to a servo, gyro, or other S.BUS compatible device. This data includes commands such as “move the channel 3 servo to 15 degrees, move the channel 5 servo to 30 degrees” to multiple devices. The S.BUS devices execute only those commands for their own set channel. For this reason, it can be used by connecting multiple servos to the same signal line.

However, conventional servos cannot be used by the S.BUS output.* When using servos with a remote battery pack, use S.BUS Hub with Cable (2-way/remote battery pack use).
