Product Details

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING BEC's BUILT INTO ESC's - click here to view

The Hobby Wing Pentium-18A is Hobby Wing's "Pentium Series" of ESC's, which can be programmed with the optional Hobby Wing Program Card. The Pentium series has a full range of ESC applications, ranging from 6A to 100A in power.

Specifications:

Output: 18A Continuous, 22A Burst for 10 seconds
Input Voltage: 5.6V - 16.8V (Lithium: 2S to 4S or NiMH/NiCd 5-12 Cells)
BEC (Battery Elimination Circuit) Output: 2A Linear Mode BEC
Max Speed: 210,000rpm for 2 Poles BLM; 70,000rpm for 6 poles BLM; 35,000rpm for 12 poles BLM. (BLM=BrushLess Motors)
Size: 24mmx45mmx11mm (widthxlengthxheight)
Weight: 19g

Packaging Includes:

(1) ESC – Bullet Connectors & Heat Shrink Sold Separately.


Features:

Safety Arming Feature: Regardless of the throttle stick position, the motor will not rotate after the battery is connected, which reduces possible injuries.
Throttle Calibration: The throttle range can be configured to provide the best linear throttle, which is fully compatible with all available transmitters.

Programmable Items:

Brake Settings: brake enabled/brake disabled – (default is brake disabled)
Battery Type: Li-xx(Li-ion or Li-poly/Ni-xx(NiMh or Nicd) – (default is Li-xx)
Low Voltage Protection Mode (Cutoff Mode): power reduction/ power cutoff – (default is power reduction)
Low Voltage Protection Threshold (Cutoff Threshold): low/medium/high – (default is medium cutoff voltage)

1) For Li-xx Batteries - number of battery cells are judged automatically; low/medium/high cutoff voltage for each cell are: 2.6V/2.85V/3.1V. For example:  3 Cells Li-Po - when medium cutoff voltage is set, the cutoff voltage is: 2.85*3=8.55V.
2) For Ni-xx Batteries - low/medium/high cutoff voltages are 0%/45%/60% of the startup voltage - (0% means the low voltage cutoff protection function is disabled). For example:  10 cell NiMH battery pack at full charge is 1.44*10=14.4V. When medium cutoff voltage is set, the cutoff voltage is: 14.4*45%=6.5V.

Startup Mode: normal/soft/super-soft – (default is normal startup)
Timing: low/medium/high – (default is medium timing). In normal cases, low timing can be used for most motors. But, for high efficiency, we recommend the “Low” timing for 2 poles motor and “Medium” timing for 6 pole motors and above. For higher speed, “High” timing can be used.

Full Protection Features:
Low-voltage cutoff protection/over-heating protection/throttle signal loss protection.

Advantages:

Military Standard Capacitors with extremely low resistance, which are used on the voltage input section; this will increase the ability & prevention of unwanted radio frequency noise & interference during flying.
Extreme low resistance - super current endurance.
Microprocessor and BEC use separate voltage regulator IC, with good anti-jamming capability.
Compatible with the Hobby Wing Program Card – Not Compatible with Professional Program Box.
