You must use an external UBEC, SBEC, power distribution system, or independent receiver battery to power the receiver and servos.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; margin: 12px 0 6px; color: #000;\"\u003eWhat battery range does this ESC support?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThis ESC supports 6-14S LiPo. Always match the battery setup to the aircraft, motor, propeller or EDF unit, connector rating, cooling setup, and measured current draw.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; margin: 12px 0 6px; color: #000;\"\u003eWhat is the difference between the SkyWalker 130A and 160A HV OPTO V2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nBoth models support 6-14S LiPo and use an OPTO no-BEC design. The 130A version is rated for 130A continuous and 160A peak current, while the 160A version is rated for 160A continuous and 200A peak current. The 130A model is also slightly lighter.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; margin: 12px 0 6px; color: #000;\"\u003eWhat is DEO Technology on this ESC?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nDEO stands for Drive Efficiency Optimization. It is designed to improve throttle smoothness, stability, and efficiency while helping reduce ESC operating temperature and support longer flight time. For 3D aerobatics, Hobbywing recommends turning Active Freewheeling off.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; margin: 12px 0 6px; color: #000;\"\u003eWhat does Search Mode do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nSearch Mode allows the ESC to make the motor emit an audible beeping tone, helping pilots locate an aircraft after landing in grass, brush, or visually difficult recovery areas.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; margin: 12px 0 6px; color: #000;\"\u003eCan this ESC power the receiver and servos?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nNo. The ESC controls the brushless motor, but it does not provide BEC output. The receiver and servos need a separate power source.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; margin: 12px 0 6px; color: #000;\"\u003eCan a brushless ESC run a brushed motor?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nNo. A brushless ESC is designed for three-phase brushless motors. A brushed motor requires a brushed ESC.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; margin: 12px 0 6px; color: #000;\"\u003eIs this the right ESC for RC cars or boats?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThis model is positioned as a high-voltage aircraft ESC. For surface vehicles or marine setups, compare dedicated Hobbywing RC car ESCs or SeaKing boat ESCs instead.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold; margin: 14px 0; color: #000;\"\u003eInstallation Notice\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nHigh-voltage ESC installation should be handled carefully. Confirm polarity, connector rating, solder quality, motor direction, cooling airflow, LiPo cell count, throttle calibration, and receiver power before operation. Do not exceed the ESC current or voltage rating, and do not run this OPTO ESC without a verified receiver and servo power source.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Hobbywing","offers":[{"title":"Global","offer_id":48319323766998,"sku":"SKYWALKER-130A-HV-14S-OPTO-V2 GL","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/0617\/0582\/files\/Skywalker-HV-130A-V2-OPTO-2_2048x_b2eb1035-0ba9-402a-9d8f-20572d348c33.webp?v=1781074439","url":"https:\/\/chinahobbyline.com\/products\/hobbywing-skywalker-130a-hv-14s-opto-v2-esc","provider":"ChinaHobbyLine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
