The E-flite 40A Pro switch‑mode BEC brushless ESC (EFLA1040U) is a high‑quality, sensorless controller designed for reliable power delivery and simplified wiring. Handling up to 40A continuous (55A burst) on 3–6S Li‑Po or 9–18 cell Ni‑Cd/Ni‑MH packs, it integrates a robust 5V/2.5A SBEC to power your receiver and standard‑size servos. An aluminium finned heatsink case aids cooling, while advanced programming lets you fine‑tune braking, timing, throttle range and start‑up for aeroplanes and helis.

Key Features

  • Up to 40‑amp continuous current with proper air flow, with 55‑amp burst current (15 seconds)
  • 5‑volt switch‑mode BEC capable of 2.5‑amp continuous current on any recommended input voltage
  • Drive up to 7 analogue or 6 digital standard‑size servos with the BEC
  • 3–6S Li‑Po, 9‑ to 18‑cell Ni‑Cd/Ni‑MH input voltage
  • Finned heat sinks
  • Programmable motor braking
  • Safe power‑arm mode prevents accidental starts
  • Programmable low‑voltage cut‑off with settings for 3S (9V), 4S (12V), 5S (15V), 6S (18V) or 70% of starting voltage
  • Programmable soft start for helis and aeroplanes
  • Auto motor shutdown if signal is lost or there is interference
  • Programmable timing—5 user‑selectable ranges for a wide variety of brushless motors
  • Programmable throttle input range (1.1–1.9 ms or 1.2–1.8 ms)
  • Heli mode for starting the motor with a low speed ratio
  • Utilises smaller MOSFET technology to save weight
  • Radio system power on/off switch
  • Pre‑wired connectors—E‑flite EC3 on battery input and 3.5mm female gold bullets on motor leads

The E-flite® 40A Pro switch-mode BEC brushless ESC is a high-quality, innovative and efficient sensorless brushless electronic speed control with an integrated switch-mode BEC. It can operate without the need for a separate receiver battery to power your servos and receivers, saving you weight and complication. It is capable of up to 40 amps continuous current when using 3- to 6-series Li-Po battery packs. You can drive up to 7 analog or 6 digital standard-size servos with the BEC on any recommended input voltage. This ESC also features an exposed, finned heat sink aluminum case with lightweight plastic end-caps. Additional features include safe power-arming along with advanced programmable features such as low-voltage cutoff, braking, timing, throttle input range and more, making this truly a ‘pro series’ speed control.

It says that it is programmable, where would I get instructions on how to do that??
David Stella / 19th January 2019

The instructions are available at https://www.horizonhobby.com/pdf/EFL40ABrushlessESCInstSheet.pdf and show the programming procedure.
