Perfectly suited for 550 to 700-class electric helicopters as well as large fixed-wing models, this ESC combines cutting-edge hardware with intelligent software to provide exceptional reliability in every flight.
At Aerobertics, we know that pilots demand smooth power delivery, dependable protection systems, and easy setup. That’s exactly what the Platinum V5 series was engineered to achieve.
Extreme Performance with Advanced 32-Bit Technology
At the heart of the Platinum V5 180A HV lies a powerful 32-bit processor paired with a specially optimized RPM control algorithm. This advanced governor technology delivers incredibly accurate and stable head speed performance, ensuring smooth and locked-in flight characteristics even during aggressive 3D maneuvers.
Whether you fly precision aerobatics, hard smack 3D, or large-scale fixed-wing aircraft, the Platinum V5 offers fast throttle response, excellent efficiency, and unmatched control consistency.
Multiple Flight Modes for Maximum Flexibility
The ESC supports four dedicated operating modes, allowing pilots to configure the controller precisely for their aircraft and flying style:
- Fixed Wing Mode
- Helicopter External Governor Mode
- Helicopter Elf Governor Mode
- Helicopter Store Governor Mode
This flexibility makes the Platinum V5 suitable for a wide range of applications, from sport flying to competition-level helicopter performance.
Intelligent Adjustable SBEC (5V–12V)
Equipped with a powerful integrated switch-mode SBEC, the ESC provides adjustable output voltage from 5V to 12V with a continuous 10A output capability. This ensures reliable power delivery for modern high-voltage servos, flybarless systems, and onboard electronics without the need for an additional receiver battery.
Advanced Telemetry & Data Logging
The Platinum V5 supports multiple telemetry communication protocols, allowing seamless integration with leading radio and flybarless systems, including:
- Mikado VBar
- Futaba S.BUS2
- And additional compatible telemetry systems
Built-in Bluetooth compatibility and onboard data recording allow pilots to analyze ESC performance directly from a smartphone when used with the optional OTA programming module.
Efficient Cooling System & Maximum Protection
The ESC features an innovative dual-sided heatsink structure with optimized airflow channels that efficiently dissipate heat during demanding flights. The side ventilation design improves cooling performance while maintaining compact dimensions.
To ensure maximum reliability, Hobbywing integrated multiple intelligent protection systems, including:
- Over-temperature protection
- Capacitor overheat protection
- Reverse current protection
- Startup protection
- Throttle signal loss protection
- Overload protection
These safety systems help protect both the ESC and your valuable aircraft electronics during operation.
