Hobbywing Platinum 150A V5.1 Speed Control

The Hobbywing Platinum 150A V5.1 Speed Control delivers high current handling and robust power management for demanding brushless applications. Designed for 3–8S LiPo systems, it pairs a 150A continuous (180A peak) power stage with a switch-mode BEC offering 5–12V output at 10A continuous (30A peak). Telemetry support and flexible programming options make it a capable choice for advanced helicopter and fixed-wing setups. Part number: HW30203501.
