Dual-way Brushed ESC 20A 2-4S 380 260 Motor Electronic Speed Controller

Looking for 20a Motor? Dual-way Brushed ESC 20A 2-4S 380 260 Motor Electronic Speed Controller is available at Zbotic with fast shipping across India.

Description:

– BEC output: 5V 1A, suitable for powering the receiver.

(Note: The onboard microcontroller also uses a 5V power supply connected to the BEC. If you plug a 2S lithium battery (7.4V) directly into the receiver, the microcontroller will burn out in seconds as its maximum withstand voltage is 6.5V.)

– No overheating protection: Ensure proper ventilation and heat dissipation.

– Remote control central point: Fixed PWM at 1500us (+50 -50), with a minimum running range of 800-1100 and a maximum of 1900-2200, automatically adapted.

– Power-on prompt: A micro-beep from the motor indicates power-on.

– Start with the neutral point: The throttle channel at 1500 will prompt the motor’s up-and-down tone to start. With brakes, you’ll hear a rising tone; without brakes, a falling tone.

– Runaway protection: In case of signal loss (e.g., broken signal line), for safety and motor protection, the throttle needs to be returned to the center and unlocked again.

Suitable for motor:

– For 380 260 large  motor

– For 540 550 motors for low speed climbing cars

Note:

For 540 550 high speed on-road car, can not be used this ESC

Two modes:

– Brake mode (forward/brake/reverse F/B/R)

When the accelerator stick is quickly hit from the forward to the reverse area, the motor is just braking. If you want to reverse the car, go back to the middle and hit the reverse lever

– Reverse lever reverse mode

Just hit the reverse lever and immediately reverse the car

Specification:

– Item name: Dual-way Brushed ESC, electronic speed controller

– Voltage: 2-4S ( 6-16.8v)

– Current: 20A

– BEC: 5V 1A , can power the receiver

– Size: 58x18mm

Package include:

1pcs x ESC

Dual-way Brushed ESC 20A 2-4S 380 260 Motor Electronic Overview

The Dual-way Brushed ESC 20A 2-4S 380 260 Motor Electronic Speed Controller is designed to drive 380 and 260 series brushed DC motors in forward and reverse with precise speed control. It accepts 2–4S LiPo input (6–16.8 V) and delivers up to 20 A continuous current, making it ideal for RC cars, boats, robotics and custom motorized projects.

Key Features of Dual-way Brushed ESC 20A 2-4S 380 260 Motor Electronic

• 20 A continuous current rating, optimized for 380/260 brushed motors
• Wide input range of 2–4S LiPo batteries (6–16.8 V)
• Built-in 5 V/1 A BEC output to power your receiver and onboard microcontroller
• Dual-direction control with forward, reverse and electronic braking
• Auto-adaptive PWM range (800–1100 µs to 1900–2200 µs), centered at 1500 µs ±50 µs
• Compact dimensions (58 × 18 mm), power-on beep indication; ensure adequate ventilation
• Genuine product with fast shipping from Zbotic across India

Applications and Use Cases

• High-speed RC cars and trucks running 380/260 brushed motors
• Scale model boats requiring forward/reverse thrust control
• DIY robotics platforms with bidirectional brushed DC drives
• STEM and educational kits introducing motor control concepts
• Light electric vehicles or prototypes needing compact ESC solutions

How to Use Dual-way Brushed ESC 20A 2-4S 380 260 Motor Electronic

Mount the ESC in a well-ventilated area, connect the red and black battery leads to your 2–4S LiPo pack, and solder the three motor wires to your brushed motor. Plug the signal wire into the throttle channel of your receiver so the built-in BEC powers it. On first power-up, set your transmitter throttle stick to neutral, listen for the beep sequence, then sweep to full throttle and full brake to calibrate endpoints. Always allow airflow around the ESC to prevent overheating.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this ESC support 4S LiPo batteries?

Yes. The Dual-way Brushed ESC accepts 2–4S LiPo input, so you can safely run up to 16.8 V. Ensure your motor and wiring are rated for this voltage.

Is there any thermal protection built in?

No. This ESC does not include overheating protection. Mount it where airflow is unrestricted and consider adding a heat sink or fan if you run high currents for extended periods.

How do I calibrate throttle and brake endpoints?

Power on with your transmitter throttle stick at neutral. Wait for the motor beep, then move the stick to full throttle until you hear confirmation beeps, followed by full brake to complete calibration. The ESC will auto-adapt within 800–1100 µs to 1900–2200 µs.
