Overview
The Hobbywing Platinum 80A V5 is a brushless ESC for 325-420 class electric helicopters (main blade length 325-420mm) and fixed-wing airplanes. It supports 3-8S LiPo input and includes a built-in switch-mode BEC with adjustable output voltage.
Key Features
- Synchronous rectification technology with DEO (Driving Efficiency Optimization).
- Benefits shown in product images: faster throttle response; higher driving efficiency and longer battery life-span; lower ESC temperature rise for improved reliability.
- Compact size with newly designed heat sink to cool with airflow generated by craft movement (supports external and internal cooling). Note shown in images: double-sided hollow heat dissipation structure has applied for a patent; please do not imitate it.
- Built-in programmable switch BEC; maximum output voltage shown in images: 12V (5-12V adjustable). Images also state maximum output current up to 25A.
- 32-bit processor with RPM accuracy algorithm (as shown in images) for more consistent speed control for lightweight, small-sized electric helicopters.
- Multiple protections shown in images: start-up protection; current protection; temperature protection; overload protection; throttle signal loss protection; capacitor temperature protection; input voltage abnormality protection.
- Telemetry/data return support (as shown): Mikado VBar System, Futaba S.Bus2, etc.; images indicate parameters can be adjusted on the remote-control device (VBar protocol support) and ESC status can be checked.
