Product Description
Vertex 16A ESC with 6V / 3A SBEC
The Vertex 16A ESC is a compact brushless speed controller developed for lightweight indoor, backyard, sport, and 3D aircraft. It provides smooth and dependable motor control while keeping overall size and weight appropriate for smaller electric models.
An upgraded 6V / 3A switching BEC supplies strong and efficient power to the receiver and connected servos. This makes the ESC an excellent match for modern digital servos that benefit from a regulated 6V supply.

Compatibility and Installation Notes
- Throttle Calibration Required: The transmitter throttle range must be calibrated before the ESC will arm the motor for initial use. Always remove the propeller before beginning the calibration process.
- Confirm that the receiver and all connected servos are rated for operation at 6V.
- Select a motor and propeller combination that remains within the ESC’s 16A continuous-current rating.
- Secure the ESC where it receives adequate airflow and is protected from excessive vibration or mechanical strain.
- Do not completely cover the ESC with foam, adhesive, or other materials that may prevent heat from escaping.
- Always remove the propeller before performing throttle calibration or checking motor direction.
Important: This is a standard forward-only ESC. Pilots requiring switchable forward and reverse thrust for 4D flight should use the Vertex 17A 3D/4D reversible ESC instead.
