Hobbywing Platinum 150A V5.1 SBEC ESC

Hobbywing Platinum 150A V5.1 SBEC

Compact yet high-performance ESC built for 520–580 class electric helicopters and fixed-wing models.

🔧 Key Features

Advanced Cooling Design – Retains the Platinum V5 series’ double-sided hollow heat-sink structure with an added side-window for enhanced airflow; air moves quickly through the ESC’s internals for superior cooling. 

Built-in High-Power Switch-Mode BEC – Integrated programmable Switch BEC with adjustable output from 5-12 V, up to 25 A continuous output, and anti-reverse circuit allowing parallel use with an external 2S battery for double protection. 

32-bit Processor + RPM Accuracy Algorithm – Enables increased consistency and precision in RPM control; adjustable governor (constant speed) sensitivity allows pilots to tailor performance.

Multiple Telemetry Protocols Supported – Compatible with Mikado VBar, Futaba S.BUS2 and other protocols; allows direct parameter adjustments and status monitoring from your transmitter. 

Synchronous Rectification (DEO: Driving Efficiency Optimization) – Improves throttle response, increases drive efficiency (longer flight times), and reduces ESC temperature rise for increased reliability. 

Comprehensive Protection Features – Includes start-up protection, over-current protection, temperature protection, overload protection, throttle-signal loss protection, input voltage-abnormality protection to extend lifespan and reliability.
