The YEP series ESCs not only offer excellent performance for helicopters, they are also well suited for fixed-wing use with*a whole*host of programmable features.
*
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**
• 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.***

This is a really interesting ESC to me, and has the same design specs and build of the very FAmous YGE Speed controllers that have come to be known as one of the best speed controllers for 3D helicopters.

I have used YGE speed controllers a lot over the years, and unlike so many others just seem to produce amazing reliability.

This design was bought I believe by hobbyking, but has a older firmware of the YGE.

I would like to try these speed controllers, but after researching hoverfly website I can't seem to get an accurate hz rating for there speed controls and therefore they only recommend castle and turnigy. if anyone has tried these please let me know what u think. I will probably give them a shot anyways.
