Our fastest input rate speed controllers

The F_Series ESCs are built from the ground up upon trusted 32-bit ARM architecture to ensure performance is maximised for a wide range of operating environments. Features including PWM-frequency dithering and Active Phase-Current Demagnetisation allow for smooth control with virtually all powertrain combinations.

The high speed processor ensures no input commands are missed, even at the highest input update rates. Actively processing every single throttle command allows the F_Series units to respond to dynamic systems faster, increasing overall efficiency. The units are compatible with digital protocols including ProShot and DShot.
