Hobbyking YEP 80A (2~6S) SBEC Brushless Speed Controller

Hobbyking YEP 80A (2~6S) SBEC Brushless Speed Controller


We are now proud to offer our Hobbyking YEP ESC series. With helicopter specific programming options such as super smooth soft start, fixed RPM mode (governor mode) and ultra high resolution, you won't find a better helicopter ESC on the market today!

We have tested these units on our own helicopters and found them to be among the best we have ever seen. The super smooth soft start, along with its ultra high resolution throttle response puts this ESC in a class of its own!

Hobbyking YEP ESCs are built with the highest quality components to ensure true-to-rating current handling and high efficiency operation.

All Hobbyking YEP ESCs can be programmed via optional programing card or by transmitter stick inputs.

Features:
• Powerful 5.5V/6A Switching BEC
• Optional programming card for convenient setup 
ESC had separate programming lead built-in so there is no need to unplug from RX
• Super fine throttle resolution provides first-rate and highly accurate linearity 
• Super smooth adjustable start-up mode
• Constant RPM mode (governor mode)
• Adjustable F3A brake.  
• 3 steps adjustable normal EMF brake  
• High anti-interference capability
• Low voltage cut-off protection with automatic adjustment for NiCd/NiMH/Li-Ion/LiPo/LiFePO4  
• Soft cut-off option at low voltage, slows motor RPM gradual rather than hard cutoff (LVC)
• Low voltage cut-off can be disabled  
• Variable cut-off voltage / cell    
• Active free-wheeling circuit allows for unlimited "partial load" capability
• LED status display  
• Adjustable motor timing from 0° to 30°  
• Blocked rotation protection (senses a jammed motor and stops motor rotation)  
• Motor reversing from ESC (no need to change ESC/motor wires) 
• Over-temperature protection and overload alarm  
• Anti sparking circuit: reduces connection sparks (for HV ESC)
• Throttle signal lose protection. If the signal is lost for 3 seconds, the power will automatically cut-off.  
• Safe power-on. (Motor will not start until throttle is returned to lowest position) 


***This ESC is compatible with both helicopter and airplane models.***


Specification:
Max Cont Current: 80A

Hi, any idea what changes I need to make to this ESC, to make it suitable for plane use? Thanks
 fireball412 414 points
You must change the following options: gov off, startup: plane, brake: middle (depends). It is very easy by using the programming card. It may work without it, but I would not even try.

Who let me know the setting. I have bl500mx motor. The motor output is weak. Idle 1 and 2, there is no difference between. I use programeming Options. Motor timing: 18°* PWM frequency: 12kHz Active free-wheeling : 0n Brake: off Cells: 6 Startup speed: Heli slow Brake: of
 fireball412 414 points
Settings like frequency and timing usually do not influence power so much. Your problem sounds more basic to me. Did you teach the device stop and full throttle position? Idle 1 and idle 2 do not tell anything. What setting did you assign to these phases?
 Lapenta 10 points
I had set the throttle range. normal = 80% (throttle stick high position), Idle1 = 90%, Idle2= 100%
 Lapenta 10 points
I use the same set of TX, The Align 70A is a much bigger motor output.
 Lapenta 10 points
And motor stops in hovering. When move the throttle stick down half under.
 fireball412 414 points
It sounds to me that you did not teach the full throttle range to the ESC. I recommend using the programming card. However, I believe that 90% and 100% throttle are not optimal for governor mode. There is no margin to stabilize the rpm. You may have to change the gear ratio.

Comparing it to Turnigy 60A Plush, is this a better ESC? (mainly for 450 Heli with Scorpion 2221-8 Motor.)
 fireball412 414 points
The Plush is a good general purpose ESC. However, in case of helis the performance of the governor mode is of great importance. According to my experience only very few highly value brands provide good governor. This ESC most likely "inherited" the performance from the device I am and many others are happy with. Thus, this ESC series is far better than a Plush for a heli. However, 80A is too much. 45A or 60A is enough.
BEST ANSWER CREDIT AWARDED
 Irfan 10 points
So the Plush doesn't support governor mode at all?
 fireball412 414 points
According to the manual, it does not.
 Irfan 10 points
Well that's lame. Thanks for the reply though. I don't know why did everyone suggest Plush for the 450 to me.
 fireball412 414 points
Well, I double checked my statement. There is a controversy about that. Some people say it has a governor mode that does not work. Some people write it works. I did not find it in the manual. I tested many HK ESCs in helis and none of them worked properly. However, some guys fly with a throttle curve (no governor) and are happy with that. It might work for beginners but any kind of advanced flying requires stable head spin. In general the Plush is a good ESC (for planes, quadcopters,)
scottc  100 points - 3/24/2013
 
i have to ask if this esc a plug and fly for airplanes, i may have to put on the battery and motor connector's i know that.
 fireball412 414 points
Almost every ESC does work somehow without setting up anything. However, only in rare cases the stock settings are optimal for the particular application. This ESC is "derived" from one of the best and most sophisticated designs every made. It is good for any kind of plane (current and voltage limit has to be considered, of course). You may set it up to your needs. If your need is coincidently in agreement with the stock setting you have to do nothing. Just one remark: the "plug and fly" attitude does not match to assembling a model from individual components. There are plug or even bind and fly models on the market that are much less cumbersome...

Hi, this page says "Motor reversing from ESC (no need to change ESC/motor wires)". Is it true? I can't find out how to do it.
 captnkp 9 points
On the programming card, second option says "rev", I assume that is it.mprobably just as easy to swap two motor wires though. Cheers
 mihlit 9 points
That "rev" is just to enable both forward and revers directions (for cars and boats). I know switching two wires is all needed, but ESC description is wrong and trusting it's correct I put everything in aircraft (shorted, soldered wires, no connectors) and then found out that I have to remove it and resolder wires again. I was not exactly happy with that.

Paul  1 points - 1/24/2013
 
Hi Guys Do I need a UBEC as well with this ? Or can I connect straight to my receiver ? Thanks
 Koo29 230 points
You can connect it straight to your receiver. It has a bec that can supply up to 6 amps to your servos which should be more than enough for almost all applications.
 captnkp 9 points
It has a ubec in it. 6.5a if I recall. If you want better redundancy though a seperate ubec is considered good insurance. Cheers

Hi Guys, I have installed this esc on my t-rex500 and activated soft start up but the spool up is still very quick. Can I adjust the spool up time with the tx or do I need the programming card? Thanks if you can help me.
 Scott 1 points
Get the card programmer, go to start up and select soft, medium or fast. I find Medium Start is ideal.

If you want to buy one with the separate programming lead, and for the same price, go to the manufacturer's site. Hotel India Mike Oscar Delta Echo Lima (thanks irwinfc!) They also have the Hifei King Kong ESC's (AKA Turnigy Superbrain) at competitive prices when in stock. Maybe they even ship things on time, which lately has been a major failing for HobbyCity.
 2Doggs 186 points
Update - latest batch from the above source no longer has the programming lead, despite pics to the contrary. :(

Hello. I have a skyfun jet with an aggressive setup. The engine is a 28-36 3000KV NTM Prop Drive / 755W, use this ESC, battery 4s 2200 65c-130c and propeller 4.75 * 4.75. With the settings I chose, as such, Motor timing: 24 or 30, PWM frequency: 8 to 10 and Start-up power: 32, readings are: Amp: 76 Watts: 1050 Volt: 13.8 I know that pass the limit of the engine, but first, these readings are the maximum and not the permanent and then I want to model the maximum performance. The problem is that when I'm testing it and accelerate to the maximum, the next time I cut the accelerator, the ESC starts this tune permanently: 2 beeps and 3 seconds off, 2 beeps and 3 seconds off ... and so on. My first question is, why it happens, it will be because the engine much effort? Second question, what ESC settings I mentioned, you guys would use and why? Thanks for attention and sorry for the English.

I have a similar trouble, I connect the battery this ESC continues 6 beeps sound, but receiver works well. Why this 6 sound continues?
 German Miguel 6 points
I supposed that you are using 6s batteries, each beep at start means battery cell count, one beep per cell.

I'm using a 3536 1800kv 9x6 prop. 3s 8000mah 30c lipo futaba 9c. beeps 5 times every two seconds.When I hit the throttle to full it kinda chokes and sputters then throttle stays on for a few seconds after throttle is down.
 cluedo 11 points
5 Beeps means that your receiver signal was lost, so you had a problem with your transmitter and your receiver.
 ONESCOOTER 4 points
The problem ended up being no ground wire from the esc to reciever as i was trying to prevent a gound loop from esc and bec. I removed my bec and wired it up normal, works perfect now.

Just take the red wire out of the plug which goes in your Receiver!

In the description it says it has a anti sparking circuit. Is this true? I read here that the ESC has NO anti sparking circuit.
 Schorch 146 points
The descryption says: "Anti sparking circuit: reduces connection sparks (for HV ESC)" Only the 120 A HV ESC has this feature, the 2-6S ESCs not.
BEST ANSWER CREDIT AWARDED
 Modellfreakkubik 16 points
Thank you for the fast answer! So I will order the original YGE. But I will also try this one for a comparison.
 cluedo 11 points
If you read the description it says:
•* Anti sparking circuit: reduces connection sparks (for HV ESC)
so anti sparking is only available for HV ESC, this one is not HV!
 Modellfreakkubik 16 points
Ok, now we now why it's not in the ESC. But thats not so important. It's also not the same as the original YGE. The Original is much smaller. But I have not compared them yet in the Jet.

Why when I hit the throttle to full it kinda chokes like the batteries are not giving enough juice? And the batteries are up to 70c my set up is 6s 2200A For a turnigy 3640 1450kv And it doesn't need more than 60A and my esc is 80A. What's going on??? Any one help please!!! This doesn't happens with other esc
 Schorch 146 points
I answered your question at the prog card *-) but here again: You can choose a low timing between 4 and 8 degrees, and you can change the PWM frequency to the lowest one. Please check the connectors between ESC and motor carefully before playing with the ESC settings, if there is a bad or cold solder point, it will surely cause this behavior of the motor. And please check the motor load, maybe the prop is a bit too big or has too much pitch. Try a battery with 4S or 5S, if possible.

First impressions are excellent, very slow spool up and the rpm's are very controllable from very slow (100's of RPM) up to maximum. I don't use the governor so can't comment on that feature. When programming with the card make sure to use the shorter of the two signal wires, the card is not recognised on the main signal wire. Just follow the YGE instructions for programming. Mine is on an HK500GT Scorpion Motor.

Ive got this install into my HK 500 and the soft start is almost hard to believe. Using the Helidrive programming card makes this a painless setup. Set to softess start and 2pcnt startup power you can go to full throttle and watch it spool up. Not even a slight jerk.Im running 6 cels and very little spark when you plug in the battery. This is what I have been looking for ever since I started flying Helis.
I will post more as I get a few flights.

esc just arrived today, all i can say is YEP are my new fav ESC far better quality FETS and heatsinks, good quality wiring and way more programing options than standard. the programing options are great easy to set up size is good and it just looks like a great esc running the 80amp ESC at 60amps 5s hot liner no problmes only getting slightly above room temp and there is very little cooling in the plane also looks like a kontronic esc im loving it!!
