Developed from the ground up, we wanted to build a truly Multi-rotor specific ESC that would offer the best performance and value in the market today. We wiped the slate clean and looked to the community for inspiration and help in designing an ESC that truly could be known as “The Multi-rotor ESC”

Enter Simon and Hamasaki AKA SimonK and timecop. This combination of hardware and firmware expertise in conjunction with the Hobbyking in house engineering team gave us the edge needed to develop an ESC like no other and hence the Afro series was born. 

Boasting high efficiency, all N-channel MOSFET design, jitter-free hardware PWM input, and smooth power response the Afro ESC series are set to change the expectations of multi-rotor pilots around the globe. The Afro ESC series ship with multi-rotor specific SimonK software preloaded! No need to reflash. For added convenience the Turnigy USB linker can be used via the PWM signal lead for any future software updates eliminating the need for complicated flashing jigs or the need to cut open the heat shrink.

MikroKopter I2C compatibility has also been built in as standard. A DIY port is available under the shrink wrap which allows using the ESC with MikroKopter hardware that uses I2C control.

Pretty good for the price

Nice little ESCs, just don't push them or they'll let the magic smoke out. If you're running anything more than a FC + Rx off them then split the load between them so the linear BECs don't heat up too much.

OK, some quality control issues

I bought 4, one failed pretty quickly, and now a second one has gone. No idea what's causing it. Apart from that they've all been fine!

Horrible speed controller. Would shut down continuously on 4S and even when it didn't it still flew like garbage compared to the Little Bee 20A ESCs. Do yourself a favour and spend the little extra now so you don't have to re-buy gear later.
