Designed with the modern RC hobbyist in mind, the Radient ESC Program Card G2 eliminates guesswork from electronic speed controller configuration. Instead of relying on complex programming sequences or cryptic LED codes, you get real-time visual feedback on an easy-to-read LCD display. This makes it ideal for anyone building ready-to-run RC models or undertaking custom builds where precise ESC parameter adjustment is critical to performance and safety. The compact black plastic construction means it's portable enough to take to the track, field or flying site, making it an invaluable tool for troubleshooting, optimisation and data logging in the field.

As a UK RC retailer, we recognise that quality ESC programming equipment is fundamental to getting the best from your brushless power systems. The Radient ESC Program Card G2 represents excellent value for money and is backed by a comprehensive instruction manual to guide you through every function. From battery voltage monitoring to live ESC data display, this device covers all the essential parameters you need to keep your RC model performing at its best.

Key Features

• ESC Parameter Setting — Adjust critical ESC settings including throttle response, motor timing, acceleration curves and braking characteristics without needing a computer or complex menu navigation, giving you complete control over how your brushless motor behaves in different flying or driving conditions.
• LiPo Battery Voltage Monitoring — Check your LiPo battery voltage directly on the LCD display to ensure your battery pack is in good condition and properly balanced, helping you avoid over-discharging cells which can permanently damage expensive battery packs and reduce their lifespan.
• Real-time ESC Data Display — View live telemetry data from your electronic speed controller including voltage, current draw, motor temperature and performance metrics, giving you instant insight into how hard your motor and ESC are working during operation.
• PWM Throttle Signal Detection — Measure and verify PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) throttle signals from your radio receiver to ensure your transmitter and receiver are communicating correctly and that throttle calibration is accurate across the full range.
• ESC Tester Function — Built-in testing capabilities let you verify ESC operation, check motor connections and diagnose problems without requiring a fully assembled model, saving time and helping identify faults before they cause damage during flight or running.
• Data Logging for Troubleshooting — Log ESC data over time to identify patterns, temperature issues or performance anomalies that might only appear under specific operating conditions, enabling informed decision-making about tuning adjustments and potential upgrades.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the Radient ESC Program Card G2 suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. Whilst this device offers professional-grade functionality, the LCD menu system and intuitive interface make it far more accessible than older menu-driven ESC programming methods. The included instruction manual guides you through every step, and beginners will quickly master basic parameter adjustment whilst having access to advanced features as their knowledge grows. It's an excellent investment for anyone serious about getting the most from their brushless ESC.
• What ESCs is this program card compatible with? — The Radient ESC Program Card G2 has suggested compatibility with Radient's Air ESC range. Before purchasing, confirm your specific ESC model is listed as compatible by consulting the product documentation or contacting our expert team at RC Model Shop. We can help ensure you purchase the correct programming card for your equipment.
• Can I use this to test an ESC without a motor installed? — Yes, the ESC tester function allows you to verify ESC operation and check connections without a fully assembled model, which is invaluable for diagnostics and troubleshooting. This means you can identify and solve problems before they cause damage during actual operation.
• What information can I log with the data logging function? — The data logging capability records live ESC performance data for later analysis and troubleshooting. This helps you identify patterns like temperature issues, voltage sags under load, or performance anomalies that only appear under specific operating conditions, enabling you to make informed tuning decisions.
• How do I monitor my LiPo battery voltage? — Simply connect your LiPo battery pack to the included 3-pin power lead and the voltage will display on the LCD screen. This helps ensure your battery pack is healthy, properly balanced and not over-discharged, which is essential for battery longevity and safe operation.
• What is PWM throttle signal detection used for? — This feature lets you measure the pulse width modulation signals coming from your radio receiver to the ESC. It confirms your transmitter and receiver are communicating correctly and allows you to verify that throttle calibration is accurate across the full control range, ensuring smooth and responsive operation.
