It delivers 20A continuous current (25A max for under 30 seconds, 50A pulsed for under 5 seconds) and includes a 5V\/1A BEC to power your receiver and servos. This ESC has no brake function, making it ideal for applications where reverse-only control is needed, such as budget builds or custom projects. It works with 180, 260, 280, and 380 brushed motors and supports 2S Li-Po or 4–7 cell Ni-Mh\/Ni-cd batteries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Specifications at a Glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHobbypower\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eContinuous Current\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax Current (≤30s)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePulsed Current (≤5s)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBEC Output\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5V \/ 1A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrake\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePWM Frequency\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 KHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput Signal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePPM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDriver Frequency\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 KHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBattery Support\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2S Li-Po \/ 4–7 cell Ni-Mh\/Ni-cd\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotor Compatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e180, 260, 280, 380 brushed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 lb (approx.)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShaft Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Motors and Battery Types\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ESC is designed to work with common small brushed motors: 180, 260, 280, and 380 sizes.
