HOBBYWING Skywalker 80A ESC
The Hobbywing Skywalker 80A is an affordable yet high-performance electronic speed controller (ESC) designed primarily for RC aircraft and fixed-wing models. Built with high-quality components, it offers impressive reliability for beginners and experienced pilots alike. It features an integrated 5A UBEC (Universal Battery Elimination Circuit) to safely power your receiver and servos directly from the flight battery. With a focus on safety and smooth throttle response, the Skywalker series is a staple in the R/C world for its straightforward programming and robust protective features.
Features
- Safety Arming: Prevents the motor from spinning accidentally upon battery connection, regardless of the throttle stick position.
- Versatile Calibration: Easily adjustable throttle range to ensure compatibility with various radio transmitters.
- Integrated 5A UBEC: Provides a stable 5V output to on-board electronics, supporting higher-torque servos even on 6S setups.
- Dual Battery Support: Fully compatible with both Lithium Polymer (LiPo) and Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery packs.
- Adjustable Timing: Internal settings can be modified to optimize performance for different brushless motor poles and types.
Key Points
- Triple Protection: Built-in safeguards against low voltage (cutoff), overheating, and throttle signal loss to prevent crashes.
- Programming Flexibility: Can be configured via transmitter stick movements or more quickly with a dedicated LED Program Card.
- 3-6S Capability: Handles input voltages from 11.1V up to 22.2V, making it suitable for a wide range of mid-to-large scale planes.
- High-Speed Support: Supports motor speeds up to 210,000 RPM (2-pole motors), allowing for high-performance EDF and racing setups.
