ThunderPower TPE-18SGB3

£17.50

The all new "Smart Guide" series of brushless speed
controllers from Thunder Power.

Available initially in 18A, 25A and 30A versions.

These controllers utilise "Balanced Discharge Monitoring
& Protection" (BDMP) technology. This innovative new
system provides real time monitoring of the discharge
voltage of each cell in your lipoly pack. Since each cell is
monitored and protected by the ESC, you can expect an
even longer service life from your packs as you fly with
increased confidence.


During programming the ESC the user selects the individual
cell cut-off voltage at either 2.75v 3.00v or 3.25v and the
controller will automatically sense the pack voltage
by multiplying the cells it has detected. i.e. if you set
3.0 volts during programming, and connect a 3 cell pack,
the ESC will sense there is a 3 cell pack connected, and
set its pack cut-off voltage to 9.0v. If any of the cell
voltages drop below 3.0v during the discharge the ESC will
automatically drop into BEC.

All "Smart Guide" controller have heli governer mode,
and a special heli "very soft" start up mode.

The "eZ" programmer is also available if you wish
to program your controller rather than using the
transmitter. Price is £7.99 - available on this site.
