Basic ESC 500 - Standard
SKU: BR-100894
£109.99
inc. VAT
This bidirectional speed controller is similar to our original Basic ESC, but suited for the high power requirements of the T500 Thruster, even when in a space with poor airflow and cooling, like inside an ROV enclosure. It comes in two versions: a standard version for most applications and a BlueBoat version for use in the BlueBoat USV.
