The RD R8 IPU Base with FOC 80A ESC is supplied as an integrated base with a FOC 80A electronic speed controller, for motor manufacturers and UAV OEMs who bring their own motor. The supply covers the ESC and the mounting only. The motor is not included.
The ESC runs on 14S with 40A continuous current and 80A (180 s) peak current, and communicates over PWM and UAV-CAN with telemetry over CAN. Made in India, with non-China sourced semiconductors.
