A range of low cost brushless controllers suitable for both in- and out- runner motors. Manufactured by a Chinese OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and widely available with a large variety of supplier labels. They are often referred to as 'Pentium' controllers - this is the HiWing product name (HiWing were one of the first suppliers to release a product based on these controllers). These controllers, while low cost, have proved to be reliable and efficient.
All controllers feature high rate PWM and a large input voltage range (4.8V to 17.9V: 6 to 12 NiCd/NiMH or 2 to 4 LiPo cells - exception is the 6A ESC which is max 3 cell LiPo). All controllers are programmable and can be setup via the TX throttle stick or by using an optional progamming card. They do play a tune during power-on initialisation (some people find this annoying) - the tune can only be disabled using the programming card.
The images below are of a representative sample of the controllers. They are all manufactured by the same company, irrespective of the label on the front. Micron obtains these controllers from a variety of sources and the actual controller supplied may not have the same label as shown in the image below.
The OEMRC 6A ESC modified with either a small white 3 pin JST-ZH connector or a Falcon micro IDC connector (please specify which connector you require). The JST-ZH connector is compatible with the Spektrum AR6300 and Blue Arrow R3P4 receivers and the Falcon IDC connector is compatible with the 2g receiver and the Breeze Block.
The weight can be reduced to less than 4g by removing the clear heatshrink and replacing the power wires with thinner cable. A lightweight 3 pin connector is available for motor connections up to 3A. 2mm gold plated bullet connectors should be used above 3A.
Also available with JST servo connector for £ 11.65
The programming card allows any of the budget ESC to be setup simply using push-button selection of the desired parameters.
