• BEC Output: 5V,3A

• Firmware: SimonK

• Connectors (Input): T-Plug / Deans Male

• Connectors (Output): 3.5mm Gold Bullet Female

• Signal Cable: Standard Servo Connector (Orange: Signal, Red: 5V, Brown: GND)

Key Applications & Projects

• Quadcopter & Hexacopter Builds: Specifically optimised for F330, F450, and F550 frames.

• Stable Aerial Photography: Provides the smooth commutation required for vibration-free cinematic flight.

• Educational Robotics: An easy-to-use controller for high-power brushless motor experimentation.

Unlock New Capabilities (Project Evolution)

• Feature Upgrade: The SimonK firmware is non-programmable via the throttle stick, ensuring your settings never accidentally change mid-flight.

• Effort Level: Beginner. The plug-and-play connector design allows for rapid assembly of a complete power train in minutes.

Package Includes:

• 1 x Simonk 30A Brushless ESC (Red Heat Shrink)

• Pre-soldered Power Connector (T-Plug)

• Pre-soldered Motor Connectors (3.5mm Bullets)

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

1. Is this ESC programmable? No, SimonK firmware is designed for a fixed, optimized multi-rotor response and does not support standard stick programming.

2. What is the maximum battery cell count? It is rated for 2S to 3S LiPo (7.4V to 1.1V).

3. What motor is best for this ESC? It is a perfect match for A2212 1000KV or 1400KV brushless motors.

4. How do I reverse the motor rotation? Simply swap any two of the three blue motor output wires.

5. Does it include a BEC? Yes, it provides a 5V,3A output to power your flight controller.

6. Can I use this on an F450 frame? Yes, it is specifically designed for F330, F450, and F550 multi-rotor frames.

7. What connectors are on the motor side? It features 3.5mm female gold bullet connectors.

8. What connector is on the power side? It features a male T-Plug (Deans style).

9. Why are the motor wires blue? The blue silicone wires are used to clearly distinguish the three motor phases from the power input wires.

10. What is the burst current rating? It can handle up to 40A for short 10-second bursts.

11. Do I need to calibrate this ESC? Yes, perform a standard throttle range calibration through your flight controller or receiver.

12. Is it compatible with 4S batteries? It is primarily designed for 2S-3S; using 4S may exceed the thermal limits of the BEC.

13. What firmware is installed? It is flashed with the industry-standard SimonK firmware for multi-rotors.

14. How do I mount this to my drone arm? Secure it using zip ties or double-sided mounting tape.

15. Does it have low-voltage protection? Yes, but SimonK firmware usually has a very soft cutoff to prevent your drone from falling out of the sky.

16. Can I use this for a brushless boat? Yes, provided the current draw of the motor remains under 30A.

17. What are the signal wire colours? Orange (Signal), Red (5V), and Brown (Ground).

18. Is it waterproof? No, the electronics are protected by heat shrink but are not submersible.

19. What is the weight? Approximately 30 grams.

20. Can I use it on a fixed-wing plane? Yes, though the lack of a "brake" mode (standard in SimonK) is worth noting for gliders.
