Designed for continuous operation in installations with limited cooling. Verify operating temperature at the intended motor load. The 160 A peak rating is not a continuous operating rating.
¹ IPX8 is listed in the original specification; an immersion depth and duration are not stated. ² The original drawing shows 18.5 mm height and a 125 mm overall mounting envelope; see the drawing and CAD below.
12S battery compatibility
A conventional 12S Li-ion / LiPo battery reaches 50.4 V at full charge. The confirmed ESC input range is 20–52 V DC. Do not exceed 52 V at the ESC input, and check the selected thruster’s voltage limit separately.
Thruster compatibility & control options
All R-series models + CR120
COMPATIBLE THRUSTERS
All R-series models, plus CR120.
Use the Core-S ESC 80A V2 with any AQUROV R-series thruster, including the R58 PRO, or with the CR120. Use one ESC per thruster and match the supply to the selected motor.
| Compatible thrusters | All AQUROV R-series thrusters, including R58 PRO; CR120 thruster |
|---|---|
| Controllers per motor | One ESC for each thruster |
| Control signals | PWM / PPM / Oneshot125 |
| Signal lead | 3-pin Dupont-style lead |
| Programming interface | Via the signal lead |
| PC configuration | Supported with a separately purchased PC tuning adapter and matching software |
| Firmware updates | Supported |
| BEC output | None — separate controller power required |
Dimensions, mounting & cooling
Check clearances before making your mount
View full size ↗Mount the metal housing
Use the mounting ears and provide strain relief for the cables. Allow room for cable bends, connectors and service access.
Continuous operation with limited cooling
The product material describes continuous use in installations with limited cooling. Check operating temperature under the intended load and leave access to the metal housing when planning the installation.
What’s included
Standard product listing
1 × 80A Brushless ESC
ESC 80A V2 controller with attached leads.
Complete your system
Thruster, battery / DC supply, and signal controller are separate system components. The original specification lists no fitted power or motor plugs.
A PC tuning adapter is described as an optional, separately purchased accessory in the original material. No programming card is listed as included.
Ordering & compatibility FAQ
Can I use a fully charged 12S battery?
Yes, for a conventional Li-ion or LiPo pack charged to 4.2 V per cell: 12S reaches 50.4 V. The confirmed ESC input range is 20–52 V DC. Check the motor’s voltage limit separately.
Does this ESC supply 5 V to my controller?
No. The Core-S ESC 80A V2 has no BEC output. Use an appropriate separate power supply or regulator for the signal controller.
Which thruster should I pair it with?
The Core-S ESC 80A V2 is compatible with all AQUROV R-series thrusters, including R58 PRO, and the CR120 thruster. Use one ESC per motor and check the supply voltage and load for your selected thruster.
Can one ESC control two thrusters?
Use one ESC per brushless thruster. Each motor needs its own controller.
Can I configure the ESC from a PC?
The specification lists PC configuration and firmware update support through the signal lead. The PC tuning adapter is purchased separately and used with the matching software. Follow the instructions for the supplied hardware and firmware version.
Where can I find mounting files?
The Dimensions & CAD section links to the AQUROV 80A ESC enclosure STEP model, supplied in a ZIP archive. Check the supplied unit and clearances before machining.
