In stock
The TBS Lucid 3Sโ16S 200A Single ESC is designed for high-voltage, high-power applications where reliability and clean power delivery are critical. Built around a 10-layer high current density PCB, it offers excellent thermal performance and durability without relying on heavy external heatsinks, resulting in an impressive power-to-weight ratio for its class.
Developed in close collaboration with the AM32 team, the Lucid runs AlkaMotors32 (AM32) firmware, delivering efficient, responsive motor control with support for bi-directional DShot 300/600 and KISS ESC telemetry. Integrated current and voltage sensing simplify system wiring, while built-in TVS protection helps suppress voltage spikes common in large, high-voltage setups.
Rated for 200A continuous (600 seconds) and up to 580A burst (10 seconds with sufficient airflow), the Lucid is suitable for demanding propulsion systems, including large propeller configurations up to 32 inches when adequate cooling is provided. It supports a wide 3โ16S LiPo input range, making it a flexible choice for industrial, heavy-lift, and experimental platforms.
Note: IP-rated versions are available on request. Please contact us for pricing.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Remember to wire up the GND connection of your signal wire back to the FC. At high voltages, this is required.
Looking for a lighter, bare-bones option? The Lucid 120A Rawdog ESC uses the same core hardware and AM32 performance DNA, but is supplied without a heatsink or capacitors for fully custom builds.

Questions and answers of the customers
There are no questions yet. Be the first to ask a question about this product.
Here at Flying Tech we have a wide choice of electronic speed controllers (ESCs).
There are two main types of ESCs: 4-in-1 ESCs and single ESCs. A 4-in-1 ESC integrates four individual ESCs onto a single circuit board, each controlling a separate motor. A single ESC controls only one motor.ย
This 4-in-1 ESC is a more popular choice for racing quads, while single motor aircraft such as fixed wings would use a single ESC. Single ESCs are still used by some drone racers though, as after a crash or a burnt up ESC, they only have to replace one, not an entire 4-in-1 or stack which is a lot more costly. Single ESCs are also available which much greater current ratings (80amp +) so they are also used by power hungry multi-rotors, for example X-Class racing quads, professional camera flying โCineliftersโ.ย
When using individual ESCs, they typically need to be connected to a single power distribution board (PDB) or an โAIO flight controllerโ (a type of flight controller with integrated PDB) for power supply.
