TBS Lucid 12S 90A ESC

The TBS Lucid 12S 90A ESC is a standalone electronic speed controller built for heavy-lift cinelifters and X-Class quads that need more current than a 4-in-1 ESC can supply.

Key features

• Runs AM32 community firmware with bi-directional DShot support, giving RPM telemetry back to the flight controller for filtering.
• Rated 70A continuous with a 90A burst for around 40 seconds, and a 120A peak for short bursts under hard acceleration.
• Accepts 3S to 12S input, covering everything from mid-size freestyle builds up to large agricultural and cinelifter platforms.
• Single-ESC format lets each motor run its own controller, simplifying wiring on builds with more than four motors.

Specifications

• Continuous current: 70A
• Burst current: 90A (40s)
• Peak current: 120A (30s)
• Input voltage: 3-12S LiPo
• Firmware: AM32
• Protocols: bi-directional DShot300/600, KISS ESC telemetry
• Current sensor output: yes
• BEC: none
• Propellers: up to 15" (over 7" needs good airflow)
• Weight: 19g (excluding cable)
• Size: 57.75 x 29mm
• In the box: ESC, XT60 lead with 12 AWG wire, 3-wire signal lead (PWM or serial), clear heat-shrink, 2 x 330 uF 12S low-ESR capacitors

Pair it with a flight controller stack that supports bi-directional DShot to take advantage of the RPM filtering.
