The improved F_Series 120F3[X] ESCs. Building upon our trusted ARM 32-bit architecture, the V2 release features introduce a number of highly requested features into the product range, including configuration options, Bi-Directional DShot, and UART overvoltage protection.The 120F3[X]v2 ESCs are drop-in replaceable to 120F3[X] units.As before, existing features include PWM-frequency dithering and Active Phase-Current Demagnetisation, allowing for smooth control with virtually all powertrain combinations with peak power outputs of up to 9 kW.
NDAA/DFARS-compliant options are available upon request.

* Continuous current ratings are at a 100% throttle duty cycle. Continuous rating is defined as max sustained current at 100% throttle for 60 seconds with 33 m/s of airflow.
Still building it, but this sucker gets five stars for completeness. Seems to have a double supply of screws and standoffs, plus it comes with a full set of TPU bits—antenna mount, xt30 mount, a little sled for the receiver, and shoes—that you won’t get from cncdrones.
These batteries might actually be worth it in terms of dollars per flight time! They last over five minutes when my old lower end batteries last three minutes, and they’ve even lasted for seven on a freestyle quad in a tight environment. Plus it’s always fun to have a battery that can actually kind of handle full throttle for extended periods!
