Hobbywing Platinum Pro 180A ESC V5, 6-14S

Hobbywing Platinum Pro 180A ESC V5 – Powerful Brushless ESC for Large RC Models

The Hobbywing Platinum Pro 180A ESC V5 is an electronic speed controller for brushless motors. It is designed for demanding RC airplanes and helicopters and offers a high current capacity of 180 amps. Thanks to the integrated BEC (Battery Eliminator Circuit), a separate receiver battery is not required, saving weight and simplifying installation.

• The integrated 10A BEC reliably powers receiver and servos – no additional battery needed.
• The ESC works with 6 to 14 LiPo cells and voltages from 22.2 to 60 volts, ideal for large models.
• The sensorless brushless technology allows easy connection without Hall sensors and ensures smooth operation.
• With two BEC voltages (5V and 12V), different servo types can be powered directly.
• 24 months manufacturer warranty provide long-term investment security.

The ESC belongs to the Platinum series from Hobbywing, known for high efficiency and thermal stability. With a maximum current draw of 180 A, it is suitable even for large scale models and 3D helicopters. The compact housing and integrated heatsink ensure reliable heat dissipation.

Ideal for...

This ESC is perfect for large RC airplanes, gliders with flaps, as well as helicopters up to a certain size. It is also used in scale and jet models due to its high voltage withstand capability. Not suitable for cars or boats (specific waterproof ESCs are required).

How to use the Platinum Pro 180A ESC

Connection is made according to the included manual. Ensure correct wiring of LiPo batteries and the motor. The ESC features a programmable BEC and can be configured via an optional programming card or the Hobbywing Smart LCD Programmer. After initial startup, the throttle curve should be calibrated.
