• Turnigy Plush 25 amp HK# TR_P25A • Turnigy Plush 30 amp HK# TR_P30A

Note that these can only be ordered from the Hobby King international warehouse.

The Turnigy Plush series ESCs can handle high speed flight controllers. They are programmable, so you can change the basic configuration of the ESCs. The motors that I have selected work fine with the 18 amp ESCs, but I wanted to give you options for others in case they are out of stock. Also if you want to upgrade the motors later, you might want to use the 25 or 30 amp ESCs. You will need four ESCs.

In addition, be sure to pick up a programmer for the ESCs. They are only $7 and make programming very easy. The Hobby King part number is TR_PC.

The ESCs don't come with connectors, so you will have to purchase them. You will need 12 pairs of the 3. 5 mm bullet connectors. They are sold in 10 pair packs, so order two. The part number is AM1001A.

You will also need some 5 mm heat shrink. It's probably easier to purchase this locally as it's usually out of stock at Hobby King.

As an option, I am looking into a new ESC series offered by Hobby King. They are called MultiStar and have all the connectors pre-installed.

I am in the process of testing these ESCs and will be posting the results on the Kronos Flyer web page.

The prop sets come with a set of inserts. These inserts allow you to use the props on various motors. The SK3 motors you will be using have a 5 mm shaft onto which you will be installing the prop.
