Hobbywing Platinum 80A V5 ESC

HOBBYWING Platinum 80A V5

High-performance ESC designed for 325–420 class electric helicopters and equivalent fixed-wing aircraft.

🔧 Key Features

Advanced Cooling Design – Dual-sided hollow heat-sink structure with side ventilation allows airflow to pass through the ESC for excellent cooling efficiency.

Built-in Programmable BEC – Switch-mode BEC with adjustable output (5–12 V), 8 A continuous and 20 A peak. Includes anti-reverse protection and supports safe parallel use with an external 2S battery.

32-bit Processor + RPM Precision Algorithm – Ensures consistent, accurate RPM control and smooth throttle response. Adjustable governor sensitivity adapts to different flying styles.

Driving Efficiency Optimization (DEO Technology) – Enhances throttle response, improves efficiency, extends flight time, and lowers ESC operating temperature.

Telemetry & Compatibility – Supports multiple telemetry protocols such as Mikado VBar and Futaba S.BUS2, allowing parameter adjustments and real-time monitoring directly from your transmitter.

Comprehensive Protection System – Includes start-up, over-current, overload, temperature, throttle-signal loss, capacitor-temperature, and input-voltage protections for maximum reliability.
