Plush 25 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.
Our TURNIGY speed controllers come with a 14 month warranty. We guarentee these are the best Brushless Speed Controllers you can purchase at this price. These speed controllers are sold in western countries under various names at tripple the price. We are certain you will find these to be the best BESC available from Asia.
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!
Do you want to flash the ESC or program it? Flashing requires a USBavr adaptor and a computer, to just program the ESC you need a programming card or your transmitter.
Yes they can be used on a quadcopter as is. They can be improved by flashing the firmware with BLHeli. But better than this Plush esc, would be SimonK firmware flashable esc's like Hobbykings F20 or F30. Plush will work ok, but there is better if you're looking.
thanks a lot rc ..yah 'im trying to learn how to flash I guess I got a lot to learn for being a newbee :)) by the way what do you use to connect esc to pc? for flashing... thanks again
I use a USBASP programmer. They can be found here on HK PRODUCT ID: 9171000003. They are out of stock now, but you can find them other places. Not 100% sure but I have read that the USBASP here on HK has been troublesome with the latest batch. To hook it up the the esc, I made a rig that pinches and makes contact with the data pads. You can buy the PRODUCT ID: 332000007 which contact the Atmel MCU directly in addition to a USBASP programmer if you do not want to make your own rig. There is a bit of information you can find online. Youtube has many videos on this.It shouldn't take more than a couple hours to fully understand and do it yourself. Good luck!
If you are flying fixed wing, Technically, I don't see why not. There may be some difference in throttle response and performance which you may be able to trim out. If you are flying multirotor, it more than likely will not work well.
Unless you really don't care about performance, those are really not that good for multirotors. You're better off buying the plush or better yet, going with SimonK flashable esc's like HK F series.
Yes they would be fine but a 30Amp ESC would be safer so try this one instead maybe.: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__2164__TUR NIGY_Plush_30amp_Speed_Controller.html
It depends on the motor and props you intend on using, and the capacity of the battery you would want: C rating is the continuous discharge rate* if you were to order a battery with 4000mAh capacity, and it has a C-rating of 20C, it will be able to discharge at (20*4000)mA = 80A... Use this calculation to determine how many Cs you need (things to know: current draw of one motor at Wide Open Throttle, with your preferred prop..)
Mark is correct for determining out C rating. In your case, to give full power to all 4 ESC's at the same time you would need a battery of 45 C rating at 2200Mah, or a 25c 4000Mah to get to the 100 amps you would theoretically need. In all reality though, most batteries can provide the burst near that amperage for the actually time you will need it because at hover or level flight you will be using a lot less power. I need to double check, But I think David from RCExplorer said he is only drawing 13 amps total across all three of his motors in his tricopter at a hover. pretty much any battery you use will be fine, just get at least a 2200 so you have a decent flight time.
Would these power http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__25080__NT M_Prop_Drive_28_30S_800KV_300W_Brushless_Motor_short _shaft_version_.html
with no side effects or over heating or whatever or does it HAVE to be a 20a or less esc or something
BEC stands for Battery Eliminator Circuit. The ESC has a connector with 3 wires that supply power to a servo or FC (flight controller) this way you do not need an extra battery for power.
BEC stands for Battery Eliminator Circuit. Some speed controllers are engineered so that the current to power the radio system in your aircraft is drawn from the flight pack (that also powers your motor). This saves weight because you do not have to carry a separate battery to power your radio.
Hello. Does anyone know if i can mount a "new" 25A on my quad where i have 3 "old" 25A esc's?` i have heard that the old ones have Atmel proc, and the new ones have Silabs. I have mounted a new 25A on my quad and i get some issues, it sometimes moves "irratic" starts spinning and drops or gains height. I though i could program them with simonK but i dont know if its possible to do so with both models. Any help appreciated /Janne Strö*m
You can flash ESC with simonK (both with atmega and silabs), but I recommend to replace all old ESC with new ones. New ESC can be flashed with BLheli firmware that is pretty good for multirotors. You will have to open it and solder some wires for it so I suggest to buy more for spares. Hope that helps.
If you want to calibrate your ESC do following: power up your TX and set full throttle. Then connect battery to ESC, it will beep twice. Move throttle stick to lowest position - ESC will beep as much as your battery cells have (2 for 2S etc). After that ESC will make long beep: lowest setting was confirmed. ATTENTION!!! ESC can not beep by itself - it doesn't have a speaker. Sound comes from the motor connected, so you need to connect the motor to hear anything. Hope that helps.
Motor timing is an electric value that defines magnetic angle when magnet pair should act. In short: high timing makes motor more effective, more powerful but it will heat a lot. Low timing will increase motor lifetime, but can cause desyncronisation if you load your motor really much. You can leave default settings. And this is NOT delay time from power connection to ESC activation. Hope that helps.
Just put these in my DJI flamewheel, found out the motors wont start up with the naza because the esc need to be started after the naza, so i have to either flash with new firmware OR have them able to plug in seperately from the NAZA....
My question is
I have a programming card, on it it says Timing mode LOW MIDDLE and HIGH, what does this mean, and is this what I think it is, to delay the start of the esc? Im confused, thanks.
I just did a quickie search and it seems people are working around this problem by flashing the ESC's with the simon K software. Alot of people use it because it works really well for multirotors due to the quick repsonse speed. I would check out RCExplorer's guide to reflashing these ESC's with Simon K.

you need to connect it to the motor and to the reciever (or programming card) and then plug in the battery. if it is all ok, it will play you a song that you have selected :)
There's no built-in speaker in the ESC. Sound comes from the motor connected. If you didn't connect motor you will not hear anything. When motor and battery is connected you will hear "a-b-c notes, one beep, few beeps equal to your battery cells, long beep". That's standard "init melody". Hope that helps.
Hello, I was wondering about the connections on this ESC. Does it have pre-soldered connectors or do I have to buy spare ones? If so, can you suggest any?
Hi Bora, you need to buy "extra" connectors for power supply and for connecting the ESC to the motor(s). I am using 3.5mm 3wire Bullet-connector for motor and my power supply(9001-AB) because you can connect and disconnect them easily. Hope that helps...,Max
Actually you can use your TX to program this ESC. I think that you have transmitter in your "stock". :) Check the files tab for exact instructions or use google. I used arduino mega to programm it, but it's not a kinda programming card :)
How hot is too hot for these.. I got mine today and connected it to a Turnigy 2826 2200kv motor with a 5x5 prop and within about 30 sec of running, at about 50% throttle, It reached 151 degrees F I wouldn't let it run longer than that. Is there something wrong or is this normal operation? (I think not)
Well I own several of these that I use with 2836 NTM 750KV motors and I usually run them to 18-20 amps continuous and I have only had one get anything more than warm to the touch. ECALC says with a 5X5 prop and that motor that the prop will stall. Assuming you have a prop that will not stall It should only be pulling 17A continuous at full power. I would have to say verify that you are in fact only pulling 17A. If you are pulling > 22~25 amps that may be the cause of your heating issue. If you are pulling <20A then I would have to agree that your speed controller may be defective. With the only ESC I have had go bad in this series I noticed that when plugged in it was no longer beeping the various tones that it makes on startup. While it still ran it would only go to about 30-70% power before it stalled and it would generate a significant amount of heat. Either way verify the the Amps going in and if it is low try another ESC.
www.link the motor i have and it says to use a 5x5 and I too looked at ECALC and got the same answer. However, looking at it now, that motor requires a 40A ESC which would explain my problem.. As for ECALC its odd as the numbers just dont jive with the manufactures numbers... such as Amps and Stall. I figured i would ignore ECALC and go with the manufactures suggestions.
Thanks for your answer though.. was very helpful
Also don't forget, that the BEC is linear, which means, that it has a lot of waste heat power rapidly increasing with the current draw and numeber of cells in your battery.
to he point of 151 degrees fahrenheit??? I've never had a bec get anywhere near that hot... Keep in mind, many computers will shut down and or fry the CPU should it reach those temps. Ferthermore the BEC has no real load on it.. 2 servos... if a BEC with two servers is overheating to that point, there is something badly wrong with the BEC.
for a 2200kv motor 25, 30, is not enough. it will eventually burn, poof. use a 40 or even 50 amp esc. be sure cool air hits the esc. they get warm too but not 151 degrees. i ran my easy star using the micro dan motor and had to open canopy. i used even a 60 amp esc and it got piping hot. when i moved the esc to the top of the fuselage, it stayed cool.
It's popular ESC so it will be restocked really soon. You can order it while it's on backorder. New parcel goes to satisfy backorder-customers. Only after that it shows as in stock. Hope that helps.
It comes with no connectors. Some turnigy motors comes with 3.5mm bullet connectors, but you need to solder it by yourself. I recommend to buy 3.5mm bullets for motor connection and 4mm bullets for power connection. Hope that helps.
You can flash it to increase PWM-frequency. I didn't try it yet, but I will do it for my quad - it should became more stable and responsibility should increase. You need to google "BLheli" (that's a firmware) because I have manuals only in russian language. I'll try to attach youtube video to show how good it will be. Hope that helps.
i heard some plushes cant be because a silicon chip or somthing like that whats the best one with the true best performance stability resonse and speeds low and high smoothness for the true best fpv ride?
Some OLD plushes cant be flashed. All new can. For multirotors you need really quick response. Most of ESC have filters that don't let you change RPM realy quick because there's no need to do it (in planes). But there's need with multirotors. The more quickly it changes RPMs the more stable it is. You don't need to flash it if you use it for plane or heli. Would be berret to flash it for using with multirotors.
I could not find anything that said they could on the flash page. I THINK the plush ones can. I did cut off the heat shrink and didn't see any locations for it. BUT, I am knida new at the flashing of ESCs. So if someone else says you can post it here please.

i bought 3 plush escs a year ago and they came as silabs. about the firmware, they work fine, just works better/faster when you flash it. but if i need a easy to flash esc, i buy the black hk esc (the "F-series", not the "SS series"). look for PRODUCT ID: F-20A. hope i answered you question!
tommy i would recommend the Product Id: F-30A but its bk. any blueseries and mystery esc are cheap and uses atmega, so you can upgrade the firmware. heard a lot of the multistar too but these are not cheap.
No problem....sucks getting a bad part. Good luck with warranty.....

I hooked my 25A Plush up to a 3s 2200mAh Zippy & Turnigy C2830 brushless outrunner and the ESC doesn't beep, doesn't start the motor, nothing. I can move the servos that are connected to the Rx, but I can't get any throttle response or the beeping that the manual references. Any thoughts on how to get my motor going, or why the ESC isn't beeping?

The newer version includes another plug which will connect to the charge port of your Lipo for pack monitoring (low voltage protection). This is not shown in the photo. It is not mandatory to connect this. Unfortunately I cannot use these in my GWS 38 due to the size and extra . I will reserve this pair for other projects or replacement in existing planes. The photo should be updated, as the extra wiring causes more space limitations and should not be cut off.

I bought 2 of these to put into 2 HK450 Heli's with KD KA450H motors and Zippy 3s 2200 battery. One smoked on the first flight. The other has been performing perfectly. It was very easy to program with the programming card that Hobby City also sells. I think I just got one that was a dud.
good esc but some problem with programmable option. sometimes it's reset or don't power up in proper condition.

This esc is really good. Compared to other china-made esc is really much better. Lots of very useful programmable options. Better throttle curve etc.
On the other hand it has a little problematic startup with my motor POT 200W. I tried every possible setting, but even with the one with best results i crashed due to the fact that motor went out of synchronism with esc. Czech made esc i used before were always ok.
