TBS Lucid 12S 90A ESC
The TBS Lucid 12S 90A ESC is built for pilots and engineers who need reliable power delivery for large drones, cinelifters, fixed-wing aircraft, and heavy-lift UAV platforms.
Developed by Team BlackSheep (TBS), this electronic speed controller is designed to handle high-voltage systems while maintaining excellent thermal performance and efficiency.
Built for High-Power Applications
Modern UAV platforms demand more power than ever before. Whether you're carrying cinema cameras, long-range payloads, or operating large propeller setups, the TBS Lucid 90A ESC is engineered to deliver stable and consistent performance.
Supporting 3S to 12S LiPo batteries, the ESC provides flexibility for a wide range of aircraft configurations.
- 70A Continuous Current
- 90A Burst Current
- 120A Peak Current
Advanced AM32 Firmware
One of the standout features of the Lucid ESC is its integration with AM32 firmware. AM32 has become increasingly popular among drone enthusiasts and professionals because of its fast response, smooth motor control, and modern feature set.
- Bi-directional DShot 300/600
- KISS ESC Telemetry
- Accurate current sensing
- Responsive throttle control
- Efficient motor performance
Exceptional Thermal Design
Unlike many high-current ESCs that rely on bulky aluminum heat sinks, the TBS Lucid 90A uses an advanced 8-layer high-current PCB design optimized for heat dissipation.
- Lower overall weight
- Better heat distribution
- Improved reliability
- Cleaner installation
The integrated TVS protection helps suppress voltage spikes, adding another layer of protection for sensitive electronics.
Lightweight Yet Powerful
Despite its impressive current capability, the Lucid 90A ESC weighs only around 19 grams (excluding wires and capacitors).
The ESC supports propellers up to 15 inches, making it suitable for:
