T-Motor / T-Hobby AM116A Brushless ESC

T-Motor / T-Hobby AM116A 116A 3–8S ESC for 60–70" 3D RC Airplanes

The T-Motor / T-Hobby AM116A 116A ESC is a competition-grade electronic speed controller engineered for 60–70 inch 3D RC airplanes, freestyle aircraft, and high-performance aerobatic models. Designed for pilots who demand immediate throttle response, smooth power delivery, and dependable servo power, the AM116A is an ideal choice for serious 3D and freestyle applications.

Supporting 3S–8S LiPo batteries, the AM116A delivers a 116A continuous current rating with up to 136A peak current, providing the power capacity needed for demanding aerobatic setups. A high-performance 48MHz ARM 32-bit processor and AM32 firmware help provide smooth throttle linearity and extremely fast response for maneuvers such as hovering, harriers, rollers, waterfalls, and aggressive vertical transitions.

The AM116A also features a powerful integrated 15A UBEC with up to 25A burst output, eliminating the need for a separate external BEC in many installations. The BEC voltage can be adjusted between 5.8V, 7.4V, and 8.2V, making the ESC well suited for modern high-torque and high-voltage digital servos commonly used in large 3D aircraft.

Designed as part of T-Hobby's AM Series power system, the AM116A pairs especially well with motors such as the T-Hobby AM600 and AM670. It also supports the T-Hobby AM Link, allowing compatible ESC programming and data access through supported Windows and Android software.
