What's the weight of the ESC? The specs says 60g but the manual says 80g?

Very bad that the instructions make the picture. This is not allows to translate texts automatically.

I see the questions about programming all through this thread but don't see an answer. In addition I wonder if the bec can be bypassed so I can use another. I need more amps.

The onboard bec can always be disabled. Just pull/cut the power wire/red that comes from the esc and goes to your RX.

I want to use in his new plane *******big-scale-fly****/forum/index.php/topic,130.0.html I conclude with his design and will soon begin to collect the first two samples.
I put the engine TGY AerodriveXp SK Series 50-65 380Kv / 1820w
Servo for rudder HS5625 Servo handlebar height 5245 - 2 pieces Servo on ailerons 5245 - 2 pieces
Batteries Rhino 3700mAh 6S 22.2v 20C Lipoly Pack
Whether or not this control to ensure all the good punches?
I am ready to become a beta tester of the regulator and put it on their planes if you guarantee a hundred he will provide all the servo power.

If the quality control on the electronics is as good as the english on the case then good luck! (5-18N iMH)

instead of wasting the voltage-difference (from the lipo battery to 5volts) as heat (imagine a self-adjusting resistor), it pulses (switching) the lipo-battery voltage, so after "smoothing" with coils and capacitors, you get nice clean and efficent 5 volts. is a must with many lipo-cells ( more than 2s-3s)

Give comments soon, I need 1 like that.

Ok. I am looking for beta-testers for this ESC. After the K-Force desaster, that is bad design by Hobbywind and bad service by Hobbykng support, I will definitely not available for doing the tests.
Btw, 5.5V BEC??!! Too high for 4.8V systems, too low for 6V systems. The only reason for 5.5V is (5+6)/2=5.5. Hopefully, the rest of the design criteria were choosen well.
Ultra fast bla-bla-bla... Sorry, I understand why to do promotion. But to judge if the ESC is usable at least a few more date would be fine.
For the moment, I will stay with my old reliable plush ESCs or I will spend my money with CCs, Kontros or other well specified and designed controllers.
My best wishes, Klaus Lange

Send them to me, i will test them for you :) Eve a plush can selfdestruct although very unlikely..... Kontronik is also not perfect. Jazz 55 should support 6s but try 6s and it will shutdown, many people have had that problem. 5s will run fine even at high amps.
Jason5001 (1124 points);
Klaus, youre requesting more data and then say "blah blah" to the type of MCU and mosFET. Im betting the house most other brands wont easily admit to the specification of their FET's.
Klaus Lange (181 points);
Fast: 10,20,40...kHz? BEC:4A cont. or? Soft start capabilities?
Dear Tadango,
you are right, there are always problems to be expected with non space proofed electronics. My statistics for the last 3 years:
4 Plush 60A, 6 Plush 40A: no problems. Phoenix 2x100A, 2x60A, 3x45A, 1x35A, 2x25A: no problems. Kontronics: very few problems in our club (more than 100 ESCs) but very good support by producer. K-Force 60A: 1 burned, 2 further becomes very hot without load (BEC-FET), both were always switching off after short time (6S, 250W for hovering). K-Force 40A: 1 perfect in a TR450 with T2836-3700kV. A second one tried with same setup: motor off from time to time... (nothing special when logging with elogger v3).

I would realy hope to get a reasonable good ESC with the new Turnigy series. But, I do have my doubts...
Please forget the bla-bla and other unserious comments. Fact is that there are a lot of very good products at Hobbyking in general for very good prices. Fact is that I was able to write a lot of corresponding good reviews for these products. Another fact is that there are some problems with some of your new HK- or Turnigy-branded products. And finally, it is a fact that I wrote quite a lot emails concerning these general product problems and at the end the answers were not really helpful at all.
Therefore, it would be fine to get some more serious data for the new ESC series. And new customers should be aware about possible problems with a new product. For me it would be fine, if I could rely on your support if general problems occur with a new product.
Jason5001 (1124 points);
Hi Klaus. I checked the Castle Creations website and their "data" is about the same as ours. They don't give much detail at all, just max currents, battery sizes and dimensions. What more information do you need?
Also, when you say "non space proofed" in your above reply, do you mean, small electronics that havent had much attention spent on circuit design? I think ESCs will always have a battle with this as they handle large current so attention needs to be paid to noise and PCB layout. I see this is also a problem with Kontronik and the thunderbird CC escs.
Mieciu (231 points);
Jason: Could you provide the programming options for this ESC. Also if there's programming card available....just like in 200A monster :-) Thanks in advance.
Youre are right with potential problems with pulsed high current in PCBs. CC and other are meanwhile well proofed - at least in part by customers, as well. But what's about quality control during development and production. There is the main difference between RC (1 failure per 100?) and car (1 failure per million) or even space components (1 failure per 10^9). And the low prices for chinese products are in part also due to quality control or better the lack of qc.
CC example: If you are searching a bit (manual link...) you will find e.g. that the ESC currents are specified for 5mph airflow, the BEC current is peak current, max. controller frequency is 41kHz etc. And you may learn all about programming features. - So, please just do your best with poviding data to increase our confidence because your customers are very much willing to try your products. And - AGAIN - HK should not leave their customers out in the rain in case of failures and, particularly, in case of half-baked products.

Yes this has wet my appetite. I think I will replace my 50A Hyperion speedy in my Angel 30 and take it to 4 cell. Great price! Anotherprice /technology breakthrough by Turnegy and Hobby King.
nando (7 points);
Yes hobbyking, let us know how to program it! I have a turnigy and a K-force program card, will one of those work? Or do i need to buy the new 'monster' program card? Or is there a manual available?
I will buy this esc, for a 5s application that will draw 80-85A for 3 minutes, and I can chose fore a lot or very little airflow, so that will be a good test i think.
fiqabumm (5 points);
hey everybody . if anybody can tell me can i use this on my hk t500 instead of using 80 a pulsh and do i need to put anything seperate
ZZZ (40 points);
ZZZ.Well I have a question,Where is the waranty written on its page for this ESC and how much is the waranty?I would like to know,cause Im still a little confused,can I use the SBEC even on 6s?BTW where are the condensers?I think it even has a switch for on-off(theres a black wire visible)!Why dont Turnigy put on every his ESC a switch to arm it and even a led (like some other brand that already has)to show the batt. status,like their battery monitor(it has a led to ,and a buzzer) and to be joind in one ESC?What happened to one series of Turnigy ESC who were all black and were available few months ago,I even forgot the capacity of them,I think something like 70,140Amp...were they so bad not to be sold again?Just per say,I bought this 85Amp.and when arrives will post a rewiew how it works.To bad it has not got a batt. monitor led.Imagine how it would be useful for 3d planes as for 3d helicopters!

Looks suspiciously like the turnigy k-force 70hv casing to me, wonder if its out of HW factory but with lower voltage inner workings
allan1953 (5 points);
I just received the programming card for the Tz85A ESc, and I could not get it to work only red power led came on. Maybe I got a dud. If anyone has used the monster 200 card with success please respond.
ZZZ.I received it today after 18 days of waiting(Croatia).It works just fine,tested it on 6s 4000mAh 20c Zippy.On 6s the SBEC gives me 5.63V.Start is even softer(can be programed other ways) than my other brand ESC.I will use it on a Hyperion Yak 54 40e with Turnigy 42-60 500kv and 4.0Ah6s 20c Zippy giveing me 912Watts 43A peak on 14*8prop.I am already flying the Yak with Hyp.80Amp.opto but since i bought a heavier bat.4.0Ah. this way I will lose the extra 60gr.on a batt. for servos. The ESC is 81gr out of the box with out conectors and u dont get them with it.With them(mine) 91gr.The wires are all heavy duty to handle great load 5mm with isolation.The wires for the battery are 14cm long,for motor 6cm and for the receiver is extra long 41cm.And it has a switch for to arm it and is 15cm long.The dimensions actually are 65*34*19mm.The plate we see on pcture is out of aluminium of course,and belov it is fixed with a plastic case with 4 screws which are also visible.The plastic caseing below is semi transparent and has holes(brackets) for cooling.Inside are the condensers and the ESC is acctualy very light by itself,thats why I ordered 1 more. It can be that it is at least half of weight without wires.My plan is to re solder all 5 of the heavy load wires with a smaller ones kill the plastic box and put him in a transparent heat shrink and use it for 25e size models on 3s.Will inform u how that ended.It will be at least 60gr or less after the operation. THANK U HOBBY KING AND C
This ESC has all the same features as Mistery brand sold here. Quality is not a problem at all. Fast proccessor, much faster then in Plush series which means no sync loss with high-pole motors. But no programming via card, only via sticks and only very basic features. I miss K-Force ESC's a lot. Those were way more advanced
un gran variador,controlando un motor het 600-37-2 y edf wemotec de 90mm, funcionando a la perfeccion un gran variador, un detalle no es posible programarlo con la tarjeta programadora la programacion se realiza por emisora. tiene un interruptor para desconectar el BEC
Running on 6s with a turdgy 55-55-400 and a 15x6 prop, Very smooth throttle up and the ubec work the servos great! No program required, work great right out of the box. 62 amps no trouble at all.
Just received the esc and it appears to be high quality, I tested it out with my hoffman Storm EDF at 80amps for 1 min and just bearly warm should work great for a 3S set up, Thanks again HK!
8 flights so far no problems super power easy to program I like that it has a switch but it does not turn the ESC off it turns off the RX then the motor will just beep indicating you need to disconnect the battery.
