Overview
The MAD FOC 100A 8-14S ESC is a Field-Oriented Control (FOC) electronic speed controller designed for industrial UAVs, heavy-lift drones, and professional aerial applications. Engineered to deliver optimized throttle response, efficient energy utilization, and smooth motor control, this ESC supports 8-14S LiPo batteries (up to 60.9V) and operates at a continuous current of 80A, with a peak current of 100A under optimal cooling conditions.
Unlike traditional ESCs, the FOC sine wave modulation ensures quieter operation, reduced heat generation, and improved stability in harsh environments. Its integrated CAN communication interface allows real-time flight control data exchange, firmware updates, and advanced diagnostics, making it ideal for precision UAV applications.
⚠ Important Note: This FOC ESC requires motor and propeller details before purchase for the correct firmware configuration. If no details are provided, it will be shipped with the default firmware. The FOC ESC firmware upgrade tutorial can be found on the product page.
