How do I choose the right ESC for my brushless motor?
How do I choose the right ESC for my brushless motor?
- Current Rating. The first thing to consider when selecting an ESC is the current rating or ampere rating.
- Input Voltage Rating.
- Weight and Size.
- ESC Firmware.
- With or Without BEC.
- Connection of ESC with motor.
- ESC Protocols.
- ESC Processors.
Can you use any motor with any ESC?
Question: Can I use any ESC with any motor? Answer: You can use brushless ESC with a brushless motor. And a brushed ESC with a brushed motor.
How do you match an ESC to a motor?

Can I use any ESC with any motor?
You need a brushless esc to work with a brushlessmotor but any esc can be connected to any receiver.
Do you need an ESC for each motor?
Given that each brushlessmotor requires an ESC, a quadcopter will require 4 ESCs. The ESC takes the signal from the flight controller and power from the battery and makes the brushlessmotor spin. This is performed externally, through the use of an ESC.Feb 2, 2018
How do you match a brushlessmotor with ESC?
Choose it according to how much amps your motor draws. For example, if your motor draws 20 amps, then you should get an ESC that is higher than 20 amps. For maximum performance, efficiency and safety, take an ESC that is at least 10 amps higher than your motor.
What ESC to use with what motor?
The ESC can be selected based on the voltage and the peak current rating of the motor. A simple rule is to choose an ESC with atleast 5A more capacity than the peak rating of the motor, since you may be powering servos, receiver and other accessories from the ESC. Remember to always round up.Jan 6, 2016
How do I choose the best ESC for my brushless motor?
- High KV ratings of the motor.
- Larger propellers (length & pitch)
- Larger motor size (stator width & height)
Can you mix and match ESC and motor?
For the most part, yes, you can. A few things you have to considerin most cases, you can't run a sensored motor on a sensorless ESC for example. Mostly you have to make sure the ESC can handle the motor wind or KV.
How do I choose the right ESC?
Current Rating. The first thing to look at when choosing ESC is the current rating, which is measured in Amps. Motors draw current when they spin, if you draw more Amps than your ESC can handle, it will start to overheat and eventually fail. A catastrophic failure can even end up with your ESC in flames!Feb 1, 2020
Can you use any brushless ESC with any brushless motor?
Short answer is no. Not all brushless esc's are compatible with all brushless motors.
How do you size an ESC?

Can one ESC control multiple motors?
Technically, you could connect 2 motors if they're exactly the same and it will probably work. The problem with connecting more than one motor to a single ESC stems from how these motors are driven. An electric motor works by using electromagnetic coils to pull permanent magnets and create a force on the rotor.
Typically, a brushed ESC will control either one or two brushed motors. (Remember, brushed motors have 2 wires for power connection.) Below is an example of a brushed motor ESC. This Sabertooth Dual 12A 6V-24V R/C Regenerative Motor Driver is designed to control 2 motors at the same time.
How do I know which ESC to use?
The first thing to look at when choosing ESC is the current rating, which is measured in Amps. Motors draw current when they spin, if you draw more Amps than your ESC can handle, it will start to overheat and eventually fail. A catastrophic failure can even end up with your ESC in flames!Feb 1, 2020

Can you mix and match ESC?
If you are desperate to fly, then by all means, you can try mixing any combination of ESCs and props that have somewhat similar characteristics. However some flight controllers are smart enough to notice the unbalanced multicopter, and will give the under-powered ESC / motor higher power signal to balance it.
