It is capable of up to 80 amps continuous current when using 3- to 6-series Li-Po battery packs. You can drive up to 7 analog or 6 digital standard-size servos with the BEC on any recommended input voltage. Featuring an exposed, finned heat sink aluminum case with lightweight plastic end-caps, safe power-arming along with advanced programmable features such as low voltage cutoff, braking, timing, throttle input range and more, the E-flite 80-amp Pro switch-mode ESC is truly a ‘pro series’ electronic speed control.

Attention E-flite 80-Amp ESC Owners

Horizon Hobby has received some reports from customers concerning the E-flite 80-Amp Pro Switch-Mode BEC Brushless ESC.

Reports indicated a rare and momentary voltage drop in the BEC in unique, high-stress environments. This may be caused by excessive EMC noise. Although the receiver light may blink on DSM2-equipped aircraft, testing has shown loss of adequate voltage can be approximately 20 ms and should not result in loss of airplane control.

One solution is the use of a secondary BEC, which will alleviate the issue through bypassing the controller’s primary BEC. We suggest the Castle Creations 10-Amp BEC (CSECCBEC). It will work in-line with our controller without the need for a secondary battery source. Click HERE to learn more about the Castle BEC.

Alternatively, to address any customer concerns, Horizon is offering consumers the option to return the ESC for a full refund by using the form linked below. We will provide a prepaid shipping label to return your E-Flite 80 Amp ESC to Horizon at no cost. A refund will be issued upon receipt of your E-flite 80 Amp ESC.

• Click HERE to complete the E-flite 80-Amp ESC Return Request form.
• Horizon will pay for ground shipping within the United States and Canada.
• Consumers outside the US and Canada should contact their local retailer or distributor, which may be found HERE .
