Description
The Vertex V17R is a compact 17A brushless speed controller developed for lightweight EPP aircraft. It operates as a conventional forward-only ESC for traditional 3D flying and can also provide transmitter-controlled forward and reverse thrust for advanced 4D flight. Factory-programmed BLHeli_S firmware, a powerful 6V / 3A switching BEC, and pre-installed connectors provide responsive motor control with straightforward installation.
Switchable 3D and 4D Operation
Use the V17R as a standard forward-only ESC or configure reverse thrust through a compatible programmable transmitter. No physical reversing switch is required on the ESC. Reversible operation also requires a compatible motor and 4D propeller.
No Low-Voltage Cutoff: The V17R does not provide low-voltage cutoff protection. Use a flight timer and monitor battery voltage to prevent excessive LiPo discharge.
Important Initial Setup: The transmitter’s throttle range must be calibrated before the ESC will arm and operate correctly.
Programming Information: The V17R arrives factory programmed for its intended 3D and 4D operation. An optional USB programming kit is available for experienced users. Custom software, third-party firmware, and unsupported setting changes may affect performance or reliability and are not supported by Twisted Hobbys.

Tested and Approved!
Was fortunate enough to have tested this as soon as it was released. Been using another brand and will admit I like this better.
