TBS Lucid 12S ESC – NDAA 

🔥 Power Meets Precision with the TBS Lucid 12S ESC – NDAA Compliant

The TBS Lucid 12S ESC is purpose-built for demanding FPV applications that require maximum reliability and high-voltage support. This NDAA-compliant electronic speed controller is engineered for both racing and cinematic drones that operate with heavy payloads and high currents. Developed in collaboration with AlkaMotors32 (AM32), this ESC integrates advanced firmware tuning with an 8-layer high current PCB—designed to handle brutal conditions while remaining lightweight and efficient.

With TVS protection built-in, the TBS Lucid 12S ESC shields your electronics from voltage spikes, ensuring safe and consistent operation. Its thermal design focuses on passive heat dissipation, eliminating the need for bulky heatsinks while still handling up to 120A peak current on 3-12S LiPo input. Whether you’re flying long-range rigs or high-speed builds, the Lucid 12S offers elite performance with clean power and stable telemetry.
