Introduction
The Hobbywing Platinum Pro 260A HV V5 ESC is a high-performance speed controller designed for powerful 700–800 class electric helicopters and demanding fixed-wing applications.
With a massive 260A continuous / 400A peak current capability and support for 6S–14S LiPo systems, it is built to handle high-power setups and aggressive 3D flying with confidence.
This is the OPTO / No BEC version, making it ideal for pilots who prefer to use a separate receiver battery or an external BEC for their electronics and servos.
