What to check before you buy
- Battery voltage
- Check the supported cell count for the exact board version; some series come in separate 6S, 8S and 12S versions.
- Continuous and burst current
- Compare continuous current per channel with your motor and propeller at full throttle; burst figures are short peaks.
- Firmware
- BLHeli_S, BLHeli_32 or AM32: ask which firmware ships and whether it can be updated on that board.
- Flight controller connection
- Check the connector pinout against your flight controller; a matching plug does not mean matching pins.
- Mounting
- Check hole spacing (20 x 20 or 30.5 x 30.5 mm), board size and access to the solder pads.
- Current sensor and capacitor
- Check whether a current sensor is on board and which input capacitor the manufacturer specifies.
4-in-1 ESCs FAQ
Is a 4-in-1 ESC the same as a stack?
No. A stack is a flight controller and a 4-in-1 ESC sold together. This page lists the ESC boards alone.
Can I reuse my flight controller cable?
Only after checking both pinouts wire by wire; the same connector can carry different signals.
Can I change the ESC firmware?
It depends on the processor on the board and which firmware builds exist for it. Ask the manufacturer before flashing.
