Electronic Speed Controllers (ESCs) act as the brain of your drone’s motors, converting your transmitter signals into precise motor speeds. Picking an ESC with a high refresh rate and current handling capacity ensures your drone reacts swiftly without overheating. For FPV racing, ESCs that support bidirectional DSHOT protocols minimize signal loss and increase accuracy, giving your quad a sharper edge through tight gates and rapid maneuvers. Without the right ESC, even the best motors won’t deliver crisp throttle response, ultimately limiting your competitive performance.I've found that many ESCs are overrated, and I've blown up several of them already.
