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.
View Compatible VS28 Motor
Recommended Starting Setups
Traditional 3D on 2S: 9 × 4.7 Slow Fly propeller
Traditional 3D on 3S: 8 × 4 Slow Fly propeller
Reversible 4D on 2S: Compatible 8 or 9-inch 4D propeller matched to the motor KV and aircraft weight
Reversible 4D on 3S: Compatible 8-inch 4D propeller
Recommended 4D Model Weight: Up to 250 g maximum all-up flying weight
Additional Technical Details
Firmware: Factory-programmed BLHeli_S
Maximum Power: Up to 215 watts in a properly matched setup
PWM Frequency: 8kHz to 16kHz
Recommended Aircraft: Approximately 22 to 37-inch EPP aircraft
Compatible Motors: 1500KV to 2000KV outrunners
Dimensions / Weight: Approximately 25 × 13 × 5 mm / 11.5 g
Connectors: Female JST battery connector and 2 mm motor connectors
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.

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