Kontronik JIVE Pro 120+ HV Brushless ESC
JIVE Pro 120+ HV
Note: Will need ProgUnit (SKU: 9311) to upgrade to latest firmware. Helidirect do not guarantee all Jive Pro ESC's were already flashed with newest firmware from Kontronik at purchase time!
At first glance, the new JIVE Pro looks characteristically like the JIVEs you know and trust. As we all know, looks can be deceiving. The JIVE Pro is based upon the KOSMIK processor with many new features, and a brand new chipset that will power you into the future.
The new BEC of the JIVE Pro can provide power to some of the most demanding servos available when running 8 V and up to 12 S batteries.
Available in both 80 A and 120 A versions, the JIVE Pro offers programming for all types of models including airplanes, helicopters, boats and RC cars.
An exciting feature of the JIVE Pro is the addition of a module port that will allow it to accept and use all KOSMIK modules. For a logging function, the new LogTel module was develloped. It allows to have both functions, logging and telemetry, in one device.
The original JIVE set industry standards with its outstanding RPM control and reliable performance. Building upon this heritage, the JIVE Pro is the next evolution of perfection. With the ability to supply power at a speed that surpasses even the original JIVE, the RPM control provided by the new JIVE Pro will astound you. The JIVE Pro is equipped with a new chipset, which provides a greater sensitivity to power demands and removes any noticeable head speed variability. With a new chipset, advanced algorithms, and the flexibility of the sensor port, the JIVE Pro becomes the new standard for all 80-120 A electronic speed controllers.
For Scale Helicopter Pilots, imagine being able to spool up to takeoff head speed over a full minute. Creating a new world of opportunity for scale pilots, the JIVE Pro will allow you to program your startup rate to a full 60 seconds.
As the JIVE Pro will provide all helicopter features, there will be no continued need for a helicopter specific ESC such as the HELI JIVE. The JIVE Pro will meet the demands of all types of aircraft, by simply activating the desired features and will become the new leader in the 80-120 A ESC market.
Off course the new JIVE Pro ESCs include an integrated anti spark function.

I used several of this ESC on 550 to 580 7S helicopters for many years to include Logo 550, Synergy E5, and Kraken 580. It performed very well and never game me any issues. However, it is pretty dated for modern times. The telemetry interfaces very well with Spirit and Brain2/iKon2, but requires a $100.00 TelMe interface to output telemetry to other systems. There is currently no way to program this ESC from any known radio. This ESC lacks "current limiter" (what Kontronik calls "Intelligent Current Command" on the Kolibri and Kosmik HV series), so this ESC will shut throttle to save itself if too much current passes through it. Also, if the firmware update process is interrupted for any reason, this ESC will be "bricked" and will need to be sent to Kontronik in Germany to be serviced; no way to "unbrick" it for free in the privacy and convenience of your home.
Again, this ESC performs very well, but it is time to retire it.
Great ESC as always. Delivery to Canada was very fast even with this pandemic time.
Works as it should. It is a lightweight and reliable ESC. I believe this is the best ESC in its class.
Came with the latest software (checked w/progUNIT) ran the update again just to make sure it works, no problem. After update reset to mode one then set to mode 4. After a 12 second spool up, helicopter flew like a dream. I did install the heat sink, you will need a thermal glue for that.
Hi,
I purchased a JIVE Pro 120+ HV a while ago.
How can program BEC to 6volt?
Thanks,

Joseph, the Pro 120HV version has not even been released, so impossible to have bought it, maybe you have the Power 120HV or HeliJive version, for both you would need ProgCard2 or the ProgDisc to change BEC voltage.
