Peak Current: 1500A
lnput: 3-6S LiPo
Supported Motors: Sensored/Sensorless Brushless Motor [Auto detect], 2pole, 4pole, 6pole
Suitable Motor: 4S LiPo/ 12cell NiMH: 3000KV for 4274 size, 6S LiPo/ 18cell NiMH: 2400KV for 4274 size
BEC Output: 6V-7.4V @ 8A
Size (LxWxH): 55x40x34mm
Weight: 140g

Main Features:

Excellent power feeling and control thanks to power and brake control curve algorithms.
Excellent Braking characteristics for constant braking feeling at every speed.
Only High quality components.
Real time signal translation: The signals from the receiver are translated into throttle control signals in real-time for fastest throttle control.
3 piece lightweight precision machined aluminum case with machined air ducts for improved cooling
Efficient cooling system that uses a cooling middle plate equipped with air ducts to channel fresh air directly to power PCB where the mosfet are installed.
High efficiency dual PCB design with high performance power board and ultra fast response digital control board
Advanced Timing settings: two RPM based timing settings and one “Turbo” (full throttle) timing settings
Switched BEC 6V and 7.4V: Easily switch between 6V and 7.4V BEC voltage for the best servo performance
ABC motor wire order protection: in case of motor wire reversal, the ESC cannot be damaged
