black diamond ESC

The Black Diamond ESC is a high performance speed controller that has been specifically designed to use 1s and 2s lipo batteries, as well as being able to use 5 and 6 cell NimH modes as well.

Every ESC on the market that allows 2s lipo or 6 cell NimH cells has a voltage regulator in it. The ESC regulates the 7.2 or 7.4 volts from the race pack down to the 6 volts that servos are designed to use. When designing the unit for 3.7 volt 1s lipo use, engineers at Advanced knew that many racers would be using a small 7.4 volt 2 cell lipo to power the radio gear.
