The KO Propo VFS-FR3 Brushed ESC (SCH-KO40456) delivers straightforward installation, preset setup profiles and plug-in motor connectors to get you running quickly. It includes a selectable low-voltage cutoff to help protect LiPo and LiFe packs, plus clear LED status to confirm the chosen battery mode.

Designed for both newcomers and experienced drivers, the VFS-FR3 pairs robust power handling with KO Propo’s variable frequency control for fine throttle feel. A reverse back timer helps avoid accidental reverse during delicate braking, and a powerful 6V/3A BEC supports demanding servo setups, including twin-servo 4WS systems.

Key Features

  • Forward, Reverse and Brake functions with neutral brake option
  • KO variable frequency system: 32-step forward throttle mapping and 64 frequency settings
  • Selectable voltage cutoff modes: LiPo/LiFe/NiMH, NiCd (LED indication)
  • Back timer setting for delay before entering reverse (three levels during initial setup)
  • Reverse cancel setting
  • Suggested compatibility with KO Propo HCS receivers for a more direct control feel
  • Factory settings installed; further tuning available via VFS-FR3 Manager software
  • Motor turn guidance: LiPo over 12T recommended; LiFe/NiMH over 23T recommended

Specifications

  • Dimensions: 32.6 × 29.0 × 19.4 mm
  • Weight: 25.3 g (main unit only)
  • Compatible motor: brushed motor unlimited
  • Maximum peak current: 1200 A (FET spec)
  • Maximum continuous current: 300 A (FET spec)
  • Rated current: 120 A (FET spec)
  • Drive frequency: 0.5 – 7.0 kHz (64 steps)
  • Operating voltage: 6.6 – 8.4 V
  • BEC output: 6.0 V / 3 A
  • Made in Japan

Initial battery mode and back timer levels are selected during setup. For deeper customisation, parameters such as cutoff voltage and drive frequency can be adjusted on a PC using the ICS USB Adapter HS. Note: a setting card is not supported.

An Easy-to-Use Brushed ESC from KO PROPO for Beginners and Veterans Alike
A simple, ready-to-use design that allows you to install it right out of the box. It comes with preset programs that are compatible with any car. Additionally, motor connections are made easy with connectors, ensuring a hassle-free setup. Just follow the manual for initial setup, and you'll be ready to drive in no time.

Equipped with a Low Voltage Cutoff Function!
Lithium Polymer and Lithium Ferrite batteries can be damaged by over-discharge, but the VFS-FR3 is equipped with a low voltage cutoff function, allowing you to play without worrying about over-discharge. In the past, a PC was required to change the settings, but now with the VFS-FR3, you can select the battery mode during the initial ESC setup. You can also check which battery mode is selected by the LED status.

Available modes: Lipo/LiFe/NiMH, NiCD

Back Timer Setting Function Added
You can now set the time delay before entering reverse after pulling the trigger on the transmitter. This feature helps prevent accidental reversing during fine brake control, similar to pumping the brakes. During the initial ESC setup, you can choose from three levels. Additionally, more detailed settings can be adjusted using the manager software.

Compatible with KOPROPO's proprietary HCS
Now compatible with KOPROPO's proprietary "HCS" system, reducing the communication processing time between the receiver and ESC by 1/4 for a more direct control feel.

The mode automatically switches when connected to an HCS-compatible receiver. Of course, it can still be used in normal mode, so no changes are needed from previous compatible models.

Powerful BEC Circuit for Safe Use with Two Servos!
Equipped with a 6V 3A BEC circuit (receiver/servo power circuit), the VFS-FR3 uses high-capacity components, unlike the 1.5A parallel elements often found in overseas products. This ensures that even when using two high-current servos for 4WS systems, the circuit will not be damaged. Additionally, the built-in limiter function activates in the event of issues like steering lock, so you can use it with peace of mind.

Suitable for Experienced Drivers!
While you may start with the standard motor from the kit, as you gain experience, you'll want to push for more speed. The VFS-FR3 has no motor turn limit, so when you're ready to unleash even more performance, you can adjust the drive frequency to maximize the potential of high-spec motors. It delivers the same powerful output as the VFS-FR2.
