Hobbywing SkyWalker 100A V2 UBEC Fixed-Wing ESC

The SkyWalker 100A V2 is Hobbywing's fixed-wing ESC for larger electric aircraft on 3-6S LiPo, with a built-in 7 A switch-mode BEC to power the receiver and servos. Version 2 moves to a 32-bit processor running at up to 96 MHz, with DEO for sharper throttle response and cooler running.

Key features

• DEO (Driving Efficiency Optimisation): improves throttle response and lowers ESC temperature.
• Programmable braking: adjustable brake type and force help shorten the landing roll.
• Full programming set: cut-off voltage, LiPo cell count, start-up mode, search mode, timing and active freewheeling.
• Protections: low-voltage cut-off, overheat protection and throttle-signal-loss protection.
• Two ways to programme: through the transmitter sticks or with an LED program card.

Specifications

• Continuous current: 100 A
• Peak current: 120 A (up to 10 s)
• Input: 3-6S LiPo (11.1-22.2 V nominal)
• BEC: 5 V / 7 A switch-mode
• Processor: 32-bit, up to 96 MHz
• Dimensions: 85 × 36 × 9 mm
• Weight: 92 g

The SkyWalker V2 does not work with the original V1 program card, so pick the V2-compatible LED card if you prefer it to stick programming. Size the motor and prop so full-throttle current stays below 100 A continuous, with headroom for hot days.
