Unboxing

Accessories include 3x 18awg wire extensions, ESC heatshrink and a sticker.

Spec & Closer Look

• Current rating: 35A continuous current, 45A burst.
• Input Voltage: 2S-6S
• Weight: 7g with all the wires
• Dimension: 18x30mm
• Wires Length: Power 6cm, signal 15cm
• Power Wire gauge: 18 awg

There is a current sensor onboard for ESC telemetry feature.

The TX pin for ESC telemetry is conveniently located right next to the signal and signal ground pins.

(TX is the empty solder pad on the left, above the signal ground, below the capacitors)

I love these ESC’s come with wires soldered on! A lot of ESC’s these days come barebone and it can be annoying sometimes that you have to search for wires for them.

4S Version

Aikon also does a lighter version of the AK32 ESC which only supports up to 4S. Same current rating as this one, but just lighter and handles lower voltage.
