This product represents FMS's commitment to delivering professional-grade electronic components to the RC community. The dual ESC configuration with integrated 8A Battery Elimination Circuit (BEC) ensures stable power delivery to your aircraft's receiver and servos whilst managing the demands of brushless motor systems. For pilots in the UK and beyond who demand reliability, precision engineering and proven performance from their brushless RC planes, this ESC package stands out as a premium solution that combines cutting-edge technology with practical usability.
Key Features
- Dual 80A ESC Configuration — This package includes two 80-ampere electronic speed controllers, allowing you to run dual-motor setups or configure your system for parallel motor operation, delivering significantly more power and torque than single-motor alternatives and enabling more aggressive flight characteristics.
- 8A Battery Elimination Circuit (BEC) — The integrated 8-ampere BEC supplies regulated power directly to your receiver and servo systems, eliminating the need for a separate battery and reducing overall aircraft weight whilst ensuring stable, consistent voltage delivery during flight operations.
- EC5 Connector Standard — The ESC utilises EC5 connectors, which are industry-standard high-current connectors designed for reliable power transmission and reduced voltage drop, ensuring maximum efficiency and minimising power loss in your flight system.
- Brushless Motor Compatibility — These ESCs are optimised for brushless motor systems, which offer superior efficiency, longevity and power delivery compared to brushed alternatives, making them the preferred choice for modern high-performance RC aircraft.
- Professional-Grade Engineering — Built to FMS's exacting standards, these ESCs incorporate robust circuitry and thermal management features to handle sustained high-current demands whilst maintaining reliability in demanding flight conditions.
Technical Performance
The FMS PREDATOR 80A Brushless ESC package represents a significant step forward in RC aircraft power management technology. Each of the two 80-ampere controllers is engineered to handle continuous high-current draw from powerful brushless motors, making this system ideal for high-performance aircraft applications including the FMS 70mm A-10 V2 and similar electric RC planes. The 8-ampere BEC provides sufficient current capacity to power multiple servos and receiver systems simultaneously, eliminating voltage sag and ensuring responsive control inputs throughout your flight. The EC5 connector interface has become the gold standard in RC aviation due to its superior current-carrying capacity and secure mating characteristics compared to earlier connector types. These speed controllers are designed with brushless compatibility at their core, featuring the necessary firmware and circuitry to optimally commutate modern brushless motor systems for efficient power delivery. The dual-ESC configuration allows for sophisticated flight control possibilities including differential thrust and coordinated motor management for complex aerobatic manoeuvres. Built with quality materials and precision manufacturing, these controllers deliver the kind of reliability that serious RC pilots expect from their equipment, minimising the risk of in-flight electrical failures and ensuring consistent performance across multiple flight sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the 8A BEC and why do I need it in my brushless RC aircraft? — The BEC (Battery Elimination Circuit) is an onboard voltage regulator that converts your main battery voltage down to a safe level (typically 5-6 volts) suitable for powering your receiver and servo systems. The 8-ampere capacity means it can supply enough current to run multiple servos and receiver equipment without a separate battery, reducing weight and complexity in your RC aircraft setup.
- Can I use this ESC package for other aircraft besides the FMS A-10 V2? — Whilst this dual 80A ESC package is specifically engineered for the FMS 70mm A-10 V2, the individual 80A controllers and 8A BEC may be compatible with other similar high-performance electric RC aircraft depending on your specific setup requirements and motor specifications. We recommend consulting the technical specifications of your aircraft model before purchasing.
- What battery type does this ESC support? — The FMS manufacturer specifications do not list specific battery voltage compatibility in the available documentation. For guidance on suitable battery selection for your aircraft, we recommend reviewing the A-10 V2 aircraft manual or contacting FMS support directly.
- What makes brushless ESCs better than brushed alternatives for RC aircraft? — Brushless electronic speed controllers work with brushless motors to provide superior efficiency, longer operational lifespan, less heat generation and significantly more power output per unit weight compared to brushed motor systems. This makes them the standard choice for modern, high-performance ready-to-run RC aircraft and serious hobbyist applications.
- Is this suitable for beginners in brushless RC aviation? — This is an advanced component designed for high-performance aircraft rather than beginner trainers. Whilst the ESC itself is reliable and well-engineered, the 80-ampere rating suggests it's intended for more powerful aircraft systems. Beginners should start with simpler, lower-powered brushless aircraft before progressing to systems of this calibre.
