if i order it now with my other stuff and it is still in backorder when will come to me
 Kimmerek 85 points
"Goods arriving every 14 to 21 days". The question is until when it is out of stock? I order this ESC twice during BK. I never wait longer than week.

At what timing should I set this ESC to? I run with MultiStar Kv:690. Lite load, 13 x 4" prop. Ken
 Kenneth 7 points
How many Hz is this ESC working at, I have to program my controller. Ken
 eddfoo 471 points
Some people have no problem using 400hz refrash rate, you can always reduce it to 350 if you have problem.

What is the wire size for this ESC
 nlmbc 625 points
wire size is 16g on both power and motor leads.
armen  6 points - 6/14/2013
 
Is it normal to use this ESC with 18A max motor ? Will that effect on battery current flow and make it hotter ?
 lildevilx 212 points
thats perfectly fine
using a higher rating ESC is actually a smarter idea anyways. the 30A just indicates that the ESC can only provide up to 30A current before you start to have problems. so overrating your ESC would be a smart move =]
steven  2 points - 6/13/2013
 
Hi guys , I am using this ESC on my Radjet800 but the problem i have is Full Throttle is on 60/70% stick om my radio , so from 60/70% throttle To 100% will do nothing its just flying on the same speed. Do i need to set throttle range on this ESC somehow ? I can set full thottle when i connect the lipo but then the esc will go in a protect mode .
 Clement 7 points
have you tried calibrating the esc? the instructions can be found in the manual, basically it involves starting up with the transmitter on full throttle (to be safe remove the prop)
Jack  3 points - 6/13/2013
 
Can someone please help me. I got a multicopter with 4 620kv motors. I now ordered these esc 30amp. No problem. They fit together. The thing i wonder is if i can use a 3s lipo with 4000mah and 20C? I know its a little to small with 4000mah but will it work?
 Kimmerek 85 points
Everything depends on props and how many amps your motors draw. This battery will give you static current equal to 64A (80% of 80A). It give you 16A per motor. You have of course some additional burst current for full throttle case. You have to check how many amps your motors draw during normal flight.

Aha thanks, i got these motors "Turnigy 5017 620kv Brushless Multi-Rotor Motor" and it says Max 35 amp?
 Kimmerek 85 points
Everything depends on prop. If you use really big prop, then motor will draw even 35A. Inside the discussion panel of this motor, KEITH says: "3s lipo, 11x4.7 SF prop, 6400rpm, 103W, 760g thrust. 3s lipo 12x4.7 SF prop, 5760rpm, 130W, 930g thrust". It means that this motor takes ~9.3A on 3s battery and 11x4.7 SF prop. 12x4.7 SF prop will give you ~11,7A. You have to make some calculations to choice the proper propeller. It looks like there is a possibilities to run your quad on this battery. As I said - everything depends on propeller!

*nimbc: Hi Friend, I use this esc and I combine with SCM 3223 1550kv brushless motor, 3 blade prop 8x6 size,nano-tech lipo battery 2200mah 3s 35-70 c. for the weight of the aircraft that the weight is 750gr. but my lipo battery gets hot and bloated. can you give advice to me that my battery is not bloated anymore? sorry if my english bad. thank you.
 nlmbc 625 points
here is your math for your setup. 11.1v x 1550kv = 17205 max rpm no load You are using a 3 bladed prop which will cause more rotational resistance. you would be better off with a 2 blade 8x6 or even a smaller dia prop in a 6.5 to 7 range. You are drawing a lot of current out of the batteries and need to allow the motor to not work as hard in turning the prop so it is best you prop down a size and perhaps to a two blade setup.

Can these ESC use 3S and 4s LiPo batteries?
 ElectricAussie 3009 points
Hi John, Yes, they're designed for 2S-4S LiPos. Cheers, EA!

 nlmbc 625 points
motor kv and prop size will also help to find out if you are over loading the system.
 Kimmerek 85 points
So your battery is able to give you 77A and 154A burst! It is imposible to overdischarge this battery with this ESC... How old is your battery? It is normal behaviour of old lipos. My last advice is to check the curent between battery and ESC.
Den Yusuf  17 points - 6/8/2013
 
* Marek: Hi friend, for the moment this esc i'm setting high Timing. Whether it's one of the problem why my battery be bloating?
 Kimmerek 85 points
We need more information about battery which you use. In my opinion you are using battery with too small discharge rate. How many amps your motor use? For example 1600mah 20C LiPo battery have max current equal to: 1.6 x 20 = 32A. And for this example you cannot use above battery for motor which take more than 25A (80% of max battery current). Give us more data.

 Marek 17 points
Ok, from the start, try using timer, and do not fly that long - battery gets hot because You're overdischarging it, this is the reason for puffing. Should measure Your flight time now, then take off 2 minutes of it, and Your battery should be better :) Trying other ESC timing options might take effect as well.

can you special order these ESC's with 300mm cables on terminals A,B, and C?
 eddfoo 471 points
HK does not customise anything. You can get a a few meter of 16AWG wire (PRODUCT ID: R16A483-06) and some heatshrink (PRODUCT ID: WHS-3MM-RED) and solder to the length you want.

Can I connect 2 of the ESC´*s BEC in parallel to double de Amp rates for power a HKpilot Mega 2.5? I also have to power a GPS and the telemetry radio system* and the turnigy 9x RX of course. If I need a separate BEC, which one you will choose?
 PREDICADOR FPV 1 points
will you choose? sorry about my english
 Kimmerek 85 points
Hi, unfortunately you cannot double the power using two ESC. If you want to connect two ESCs you have to remove a middle wire (the red one) from one of the ESCs. If you want to increase a power supply for your receiver you have to remove red wire from all ESCs and use an external BEC.
 eddfoo 471 points
Try this ubec, PRODUCT ID: 5AUBEC it works for me, You can parallel the bec in the esc but it might cause uneven loading of the bec unless you can power the gps and telemetry system by one bec and your FC and Rx with another bec.

hi, this esc with apm 2.5 work at 490hz?? or it's better 400??
 klaxalk 2 points
Yes, they work fine with 490 Hz. The more the better it is. But even 400 is fine.

Please how thick in mm are the power wires? I need to prolong them.

hey guys im assuming the bixler 2 stock setup and motor would be fine on this esc?
 Barry 25 points
If the motor has 3 wires it should work. The bixler stock motor should work fine with this esc. Be aware, you need bullet connectors to solder on to the ESC. Good Luck!
 Kimmerek 85 points
hi, yes this ESC would be fine. Original motor from bixler2 require 20-25amp ESC. If you want you can check Turnigy Plush 25a - it will be also a good choice.
Jesus Hector  2 points - 5/30/2013
 
i have a quadrotor, i have been testing, the problem is the motor, each of the four motors having different speeds and all have the same input in the speed controls, i using arduino mega 2560, help.
 Can2012 4 points
you need to calibrate your ESCs.
 klaxalk 2 points
Calibrate MIN and MAX throttle signal. You need to do it for each ESC. Refer to manual in download section. I also recommend to use the Turnigy Plush Programming Card to set basic settings for every ESC.
Can2012  4 points - 5/29/2013
 
Hi, I have 4x Turnigy Plush 25a on my quad and wondering if I could buy a 30A version as a spare one. The 25A is BO for a while and I would like to order other stuff that may be BO also when the 25A will be available. Is it ok to mix the 25's with a 30 (in case i have to replace one in the future)? Thx.
 Jeff 7 points
Yes. The 30A will work fine. Just make sure it's connected correctly. The programming & firmware may be a slight bit different, but out of the box it will work fine.
Cailloux  7 points - 5/24/2013
 
Hello, I want to try to flash my esc turnigy plush 30Amp to a SIMONK firmeware. Because They work on a quadricopter, and I need more stability. Question : Is it possible? Question 2 : How we can do this? Thanks to help me. Best regards
 SAMUEL 1 points
Yes,you can flash this to Simon K . Search You Tube for videos on how to flash it,lots of info and video available on how to do it.
 eddfoo 471 points
These Esc cannot be flashed with simonk as they have silab chips not atmel, but there is an alternate firmware similar to simonk that you can flash these esc with, they work just as good as simonk. There is a link I have mentioned about 5 post down that shows you how to flash these plush esc.

Thanks for that info bro ! I have 10 of this still on packaging and just got no time to do it.I think I read about SK info from somewhere to flash this esc's. Sorry for giving wrong info to Cailloux. Can you share your program in this for Quad flying ? Thanks again and I will check that link.
 Sergiu Tavititan 1 points
You can flash them with a similar firmaware based on the SimonK one. Its the BLHeli firmware using a SiLabs Toolstick programmer.
 Cailloux 7 points
Where can I find the toolstick programmer? Because, in the link of eddfoo, it's a spé*cial card... Thanks all for your answer.
 eddfoo 471 points
Cailloux, The card mentioned in my link is the Silabs Toolstick programmer, you can google search for it. There is an alternative programmer that is sold here PRODUCT ID: 289000003 but its always backorder, stock available end July :-(. I haven't tried it myself but is going to order one myself to test.
 EdAmps 6 points
The toolstick programmer can be found at digi-key electronics, not sure about stock though. I have flashed these ESCs w/ BLheli FW and they work very well on my Tri.

Having a problem with these ESCs. We have 4 total, 2 are working fine, but the other 2 seem to having an issue. They will power up with the "123" beep, but then nothing. No battery cell count beeps, no error beeps, no response to throttle, nothing, just silence. Switching it out with different controller allows the motor to work, so the problem isn't there. Any idea what the problem may be?

Is this esc presoldered? Or I need to buy bullet connectors.
 Robbie 3 points
you will need bullet connectors
 rahulvyas 374 points
you will need to solder the connectors. I have 7 of these.
 Jason 1 points
Yes, bullet connectors are a must and I've found that 3.5mm bullet connectors fit these wires very well.
 rahulvyas 374 points
They are not must, you can do it without them. Many newbies work without soldering connectors and directly wires.

I'm wanting to flash these to simonk firmware. Anyone have any luck or tips for doing so. Most the guides online are for various hobbyking brands, and I'm curious if the pad layouts are going to be the same.
 eddfoo 471 points
These esc now have Silab chips hence cannot be flashed with simonk. There is an alternative FW similar to Simonk for silab based esc. links as follows : www helifreak com/showthread php?t=390517 Put a dot where a space is.

motors on my quad when i throttle goes from zero to very fast, whats the best values for the FF: 1. cut off type 2. cut off voltage 3. start mode 4. timing mode
 Nicholas 37 points
Mine start up at a fair rate too, but not so it's a problem. I suggest soft cutoff (get some warning before battery dies), low voltage (maximum flight time), normal start (a must for a copter!). Timing mode depends on your motors but most (90%?) work fine with middle. Use low if they don't spin up reliably, high if they get too hot.
Brian  14 points - 5/2/2013
 
can this thing handle a 3S 2200mAh 25~50C nano tech? though C rating would push this battery over 50amps. dont wanna blow the ESC
 eddfoo 471 points
Its not the C rating that determine the size of the ESC, its the motor load. As long as your motor does not draw. more than 30A, you are OK with this Esc.
 Youssef 193 points
look to the motor Amp draw to know

I bought this speed controller for my 450-class helicopter. It seems to be perfectly suited for similar helicopters (t-rex 450, zoom 400, sjm 400, ...). It weight and price is much lower than the 40 -A-version. It has 40 A peak current, which is far enough (the average consumption of the helis above is usually less than 15 A). The speed controller works perfect and has a smooth throttle curve, would buy it again (and probably will).

These are HobbyWing Speed controller which are absolutely fantabulous!
I love them and have almost their whole range of esc's. Use them on all my planes and have show good efficiency and reliability through the years!
If you have used hobby wing ESC's you know what i am talking about. Get a programming card as well, its super easy to use and will be worth every cent.

ONE FLAW is that the governor mode hardly works well with helicopters. Using the 40A version but without governor mode as it won't hold the headspeed up well. Using a throttle curve is safer. Either that, get a jeti or CC for heli. Its perfect if you are not doing 3D though!

Nice ESC, a bit of a pain to program with your transmitter, but do-able. If you do get this ESC, get the programing card, it'll make things a lot easier.
