FAQs
What is the maximum continuous and burst current for this ESC?
The ESC has a maximum continuous current of 130A and a maximum burst current of 160A.
Does this ESC include a BEC?
Yes, it features a built-in switch-mode BEC with an adjustable voltage range from 5V to 8V and a continuous current of over 10A (peak 25A).
What battery voltages can this ESC support?
It supports high-voltage LiPo batteries from 6S up to 14S.
How do I update the firmware on this ESC?
Firmware can be updated using a separate Hobbywing Multifunction LCD Program Box or a WiFi Module connected to a smartphone app.
What does 'Opto' mean in the product name?
'Opto' indicates that the ESC is optically isolated and does not provide power to the receiver or servos. You will need to use the built-in BEC or an external BEC/power source for your receiver and servos.
Can I adjust the motor startup speed?
Yes, the start-up time is adjustable from 8 to 25 seconds, allowing for very smooth motor starts.
What are the dimensions and weight of the ESC?
The dimensions are 101 mm x 45.5 mm x 27 mm, and it weighs 168 g.
Troubleshooting
ESC does not power on
Verify battery connection and ensure correct polarity. Check that the battery is charged. Confirm the transmitter is on and connected.
Motor runs in the wrong direction
Swap any two of the three motor phase wires connected to the ESC.
Motor starts erratically or stutters
Perform throttle calibration. Ensure the motor timing and PWM frequency are set appropriately for your motor. Check battery voltage.
ESC overheats
Ensure adequate ventilation. Reduce the continuous current load if possible. Check for motor issues or excessively high throttle settings. Verify DEO technology is enabled for better thermal management.
No BEC output voltage
Confirm the BEC voltage is set correctly (5V-8V). Ensure the BEC output wires are properly connected to the receiver/servos. Check for short circuits on the BEC output.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely smooth motor starts reduce helicopter tail-drift.
- Precise motor control with adjustable speed governing parameters.
- Integrated high-voltage BEC efficiently powers servos.
- Built-in sparkproof circuit prolongs connector life.
- Comprehensive protection features enhance reliability and longevity.
- DEO technology improves efficiency and reduces ESC temperature.
Cons
- Advanced features may require a learning curve for new users.
- Requires understanding of LiPo battery management for high-voltage operation.
- Opto-isolated design means a separate BEC or external power source is needed for receiver/servos if not using the built-in BEC.
- Physical size and weight may be a consideration for smaller airframes.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Connect Motor: Solder the three motor wires to the ESC output wires. The order determines direction; if incorrect, swap any two wires.
- Connect Battery: Connect the ESC to your high-voltage LiPo battery pack (6S-14S). Ensure correct polarity.
- Connect Receiver/BEC: As this is an 'Opto' ESC, it does not provide power to the receiver. Connect the built-in BEC's output wires to your receiver or directly to servos if required. Alternatively, use a separate BEC or battery for the receiver.
- Calibration: Perform throttle calibration with your transmitter to ensure the ESC recognizes the full throttle range.
Compatibility:
- Motor Type: Compatible with brushless motors.
- Battery Voltage: Supports 6S to 14S LiPo batteries.
- Transmitter Signal: Requires a standard PWM receiver signal.
- Brand Compatibility: Designed primarily for Hobbywing ESC systems but generally compatible with most RC transmitters.
Care:
- Ventilation: Ensure adequate airflow around the ESC during operation to prevent overheating.
- Cleaning: Keep the ESC clean and free of dust and debris. Use compressed air or a soft, dry brush. Avoid using liquids.
- Wire Inspection: Regularly inspect all wire connections for damage or wear.
- Firmware Updates: Periodically check for firmware updates using the Hobbywing program box or app to benefit from performance improvements and bug fixes.
