Plush 40A Brushless Speed Controller The Plush series ESC are a very good quality controller. They have a broad range of programming features and a smooth throttle response compared to other BESCs in the same price range. This BESC can handle 3A continuous current which is great for larger planes with bigger servos.
User Programmable, both via controller and optional programming card. The programming card is an excellent item as it instantly tells the user the current settings and with a few simple clicks of the buttons, the user can change the settings and have graphical reassurance of those changes. The programming card is an excellent Item and simple to use!
Motor repeatedly cuts out momentarily at 1/3 throttle or above.
Battery is 4s Rhino 1700, max amp draw measured 23.5 amp, motor is HiMax HC3516-0840, BEC is not used as I have a dedicated BEC/voltage regulator. RX is not an issue as this happens on multiple set ups.
Any ideas on getting this controller/motor to run smoothly will be appreciated.
Hi I am a noob. Just Started with the hobby. I binded v8fr ii using 9xr and turnigy plush 40amp as power to receiver. I had to connect esc to channel 7 as when I connected it to other channels, the green light is not glowing. the esc is connected to turnigy nano 2200 mah 3s 25-50c lipo. I even changed ch7 to thr in 9xr. Even with throttle down, the esc is beeping with 1 sec interval even though the battery is fully charged. I even connected the sevro to receiver through 401b gyro (it was showing red light when the servo was not connected). Even if i move the gyro, the servo is not correcting. I use ppm 22.5 length settings in 9xr. Any suggestions as to where i am doing wrong? And any possible solutions?
No, to have this option You must buy Radio system with telemetry.
Anyway, it would be useless to have a signal lost buzzer on the plane, You'd need it on Your radio.
the esc that came with the bixler buzz when you turn off the radio. this is useful when you crash into houses so people can notice it in their roof or lawn. My miniskywalker was lost in an urban area maybe because people failed to notice it because it isnt beeping. I was hoping this is like the esc on the rtf bix1.0
Ah, ok, now I understand what You mean: it's the throttle signal alarm that, off course, switch off also when radio link is broken.
I thought You were speaking about RSSI or something similar.
Anyway, I've tried right now my ESC: I've connected it, then I've switched off the radio, but no signal at all.
I've also checked the programming card, to find if there's the possibility to activate it, but the function "Music/LiPo Cells" is only about a music played when You switch on the ESC.
One suggestion: this is anyway a very good ESC* I've got five or six of it, different powers, and never had an issue (apart when my Bixler 2 falled into the sea...).
For Your purpose, why don't You buy the HK "Signal Loss & Lost Plane Finder" (Product ID: OR 022-01702
It costs 3.51 Dollars, You connect it in any Rx servo port and it buzzes at 85 dB any time that signal is lost.
Thanks.. that'll probably be the cheapest option since the buzzer and the esc is modular. but i kinda like the ESC that bix1 was shipped with because it will buzz the motor when rx loses signal.
I've tried also my Walrus: it has an original 20A ESC, from Hobbyking (I supposed it was the same that's in the Bixler 1), but it neither buzzes when I switch off the radio.
Sorry, can't help You in other ways.
I can't believe most esc don't have that feature. It could have been easily programmed. It beeps when you add power to it, why not just add a bit of code to let it beep when throttle signal is out? They could have done so much more.. :)
sorry about that opto has no bec.but if you goto the 30amp plush esc,and look under file tab at spec sheet you will see undr 40 amp plush esc,it is listed that it has a linear bec !!!
have you checked the output of the bec on a cro,thats the onley way you are going to fined out.i have orderd some,when i recive them i wil do that test for you.then we will get the truth
Neither the max intensity of the BEC (3A) nor the voltage range (2 - 6S) are consistent with the previous model in the data sheet (i.e. 30 A ESC and less)which are all limited to 2 A (for the BEC) and 4S max (LiPO). On the contrary, the most powerfull including the present 40 A up to 80 A yield 3 A (BEC)and accept 6S (LiPO). Since they are all announced as switch BEC, there is something odd and I'm looking forward to seeing your measurements.
The BEC is listed as "linear" on the HK website, however the manual / data sheet that comes with the Plush 40A lists the BEC as being a switching BEC.
Which is it? Does this ESC have a switching BEC?

I just got mine in the mail a few days ago, after soldering the new connectors on the ESC and plugging the motor on, synced the reciever, then everything worked out well. No issues.
It doesn't come with connectors. You need to get ESC and bullet heads separately. For batteries, you need to use the kind of connector that matches your battery, usually male XT60 connectors.
The motor and ESC connectors are solid, freshly soldered.
Here is a video of someone having the exact same issue

My Turnigy Plush 40A has failed...during my build and before it's first flight (450 Clone)
Googled it to see it's not uncommon. Symptom..motor just stutters badly, and then dies. Was working during the week of the build.
Anyone have any ideas? Don't want to have to pay to send a defective part back
I got this symptom after a crash (an 18A plush). I removed the shrink tube and found that one of the soldered connections had come loose, riding loosely at the original location. With a bit of connection you get stutter. I would cut off the shrink tube and take a look. As it's dead in the water now you've got nothing to lose.
Hi,I have just built my first heli and have bought the turnigy 40a plush esc.i have connected the esc to my throttle channel on rx but there is another connector with a single wire on the esc.where does it go and what does it do??
Hello
The receiver and the control board are connected by a set of wires.
1.What are they called?
2.Can anyone send me a link to that product?
3.Will it come with the control board or receiver?
Some FC boards supply those cables. But you can make them yourself too - reuse the servo extension cables and cut the connector to your requirements.
You only need the signal wires to go to your receiver from the FC. But one may use the three wires to supply 5V and GND too, but only from one ESC. Or use a separate SBEC/UBEC to power your receiver. Best bet is to use 10CM Male to Male (connects two header male pins with its female connectors) Servo Lead PRODUCT ID: 258000011.
...It's advisable to power your receiver via an external SBEC/UBEC. I have powered my FC using the SBEC from one ESC and the receiver (signal wire removed) from another ESC.
Hi, you need these 2 items to flash ESC's: search for "USBasp AVR Programming Device for ATMEL proccessors" and "
Atmel Atmega Socket Firmware Flashing Tool".
On google search for owSilProg Programmer. These ESCs are not Atmel-Atmega based but are Silabs C8051F31x based. But you can still use arduino based AVR to talk to them. Good luck.
Yes, but you need a flashing tool and right software (not SimonK - you'll need to get BLHeli firmware for it) and Silabs' pinouts etc. Otherwise I wouldn't try it with home-made connectors. Risky Attempt.

The pin outs refer to C2D,C2CK,VCC,GND on the chip and you need to identify them accordingly to be able to either solder on those pins or use a socket/connector to them.
Gerry01 I tryed a 2200mah battery and the esc did not shut off.but with a 1300 or 1600 mah battery it will shut off.
i also have another tunigy plush 40a esc and it does not shut down when i use the 1300 battery.
Just in case, do a reset to factory defaults and start over. Unless your 1800 mAh batt are less than 25C, in that case, if your motor reaches 40A, batt tension may go down due to the internal resistance and that would trigger the shut down.
I bought this esc and the program card,and the esc shuts down when i throttle up usins a 1300 to 1800 mah battery,but when i use a 2200 mah battery it does not shut down.why would it be doing this?
what kind of warrenty is on this esc?
Maybe it's not adjusted for Lipo, it thinks it's with NiMH batts and shuts down at some point. Take a look at the manual, you can do a factory reset with the Tx and see if it goes away, then try to do adjustments with the program card. Default setting is for Lipo. Good luck!
this ESc is a bit big for that motor, of couse it'll work ok, but you can use "TURNIGY Plush 18amp Speed Controller", it weights a lot less, supports the motor max current (15A) and is the same line. Works very well also. Good luck!
Yes, but your battery business end is female XT60, so you need to either make your own power distribution cable or buy XT60 Male w/ 12AWG Silicon Wire 10cm PRODUCT ID: 601A-12-10cm.
They come in a pack of 5. But if you are interested in this hobby, you will soon find other uses for them. Make sure female ones are soldered on the battery side and male ones on your ESC side. Similary, the male ones go on the motor cables (if your motor does not already have the bullet connectors) and female ones on the output side of the ESC. Some guys just solder things together and do not use connectors at all, and have their own opinion on that...
Hi, I bought this ESC and he came withouth conectors for batts and motor,
batterie:PRODUCT ID: T2200.3S.30,
motor: PRODUCT ID: D2826-101400,
which conectors I have to buy? Tnx
My controller burned itself in my Raceboat when the motor was blocked aqcidently - the controller should have shut down cause oh too much amps but it just burned down...

After installing the TURNIGY Sentry 40A Brushless Speed Controller My motor is spinning the wrong way so I swap any two wires and still wrong way. Am I missing something or did I get a faulty ESC? I find it to be really user friendly other then that and am wondering if I'm missing something... Any idea's..

Niestety po kilkunastu sekundach przy 40 A spalily sie tranzystory mocy. Wczesniej przy 30A latal rok bez problemow.

Nice speed controller. I use it in combination with a Hacker-Style-Motor and it works fine with it. In combination with an AXI i have had problems with it: When i increased throttle very fast, the ESC somehow doesn't control the motor properly, result is a very loud screeching sound and a nearly total loss of all thrust...
2* because it works fine with UH's Motors and another one for it's price...

kein schlechter Regler, allerdings ist das BEC sehr verstört so dass er im Impeller Modell nicht verwendbar ist.
