Details

Built for demanding 6S–12S aircraft and UAV powertrains, the Vortex F160HV delivers high-current output with a large heatsink for thermal stability.

A dedicated ammeter data lead supports real-time current monitoring for telemetry and power management.

A compact, wire-included build helps keep high-voltage setups tidy without unnecessary bulk.

The 75 × 35 × 26 mm footprint fits many giant-scale, EDF, and heavy-lift frames where airflow matters.

Recommended external low-ESR capacitors help reduce voltage ripple in high-power 12S builds.

Firmware and protocol options include BLHeli_S/Bluejay with DShot up to 1200 for responsive throttle control.
