Hobbywing Platinum 120A V5 ESC

HOBBYWING Platinum 120A V5

High-performance brushless ESC designed for 420–520 class electric helicopters and high-end fixed-wing aircraft.

🔧 Key Features

Efficient Cooling Design – Double-sided heat sink with side-vent structure allows air to pass directly through the ESC for superior cooling and long-term reliability.

Built-in Programmable BEC – Adjustable 5–12 V output, providing 10 A continuous and 30 A peak current. Includes anti-reverse protection and supports safe parallel use with an external 2S battery.

32-bit Processor + RPM Precision Algorithm – Ensures consistent, accurate speed control with ultra-smooth throttle response. Adjustable governor sensitivity for different flight styles.

Driving Efficiency Optimization (DEO Technology) – Improves throttle response, increases drive efficiency, extends flight time, and keeps ESC temperature low.

Comprehensive Protection System – Start-up protection, over-current, over-temperature, throttle signal loss, and input-voltage protection provide maximum safety and durability.
