Brushless Electronic Speed Controller
The BLHeli Series Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) is designed to deliver smooth, responsive control of compatible brushless motors in RC aircraft and multirotor applications. Based on BLHeli firmware, it offers programmable settings and throttle calibration to help you configure your setup to suit your equipment.
Available in multiple current ratings, this ESC series offers options for different compatible RC builds. Select the required amperage and check the specifications for your chosen version before ordering.
Designed around BLHeli firmware for configurable ESC parameters and optimised brushless motor control.
The supplier specifies low-voltage cut-off, over-temperature and throttle signal-loss protection. Available protection functions may vary by version.
ESC parameters can be configured using a compatible programming card or transmitter, according to the supported functions of the selected model.
Throttle calibration helps match the ESC to a compatible receiver for controlled, responsive operation.
The series includes versions with a built-in linear or switching BEC. Output ratings depend on the selected ESC model.
Please confirm motor, battery, receiver and current requirements before installation.
