Unlock the convenience and performance of brushless technology with the 50A Photon 3.0 Sensorless Waterproof System. Designed for easy setup and offering a range of sensible KV-rated motors for most 1/10-scale off-road applications, the 50A Photon 3.0 is the ideal upgrade from a stock brushed system or the perfect starting point for your first brushless build. Whether you’re running a 1/10-scale buggy, truggy, short-course, or stadium truck, the Photon 3.0 delivers reliable power, smooth throttle control, and exceptional value.
With the included programmable setup card (ET0106), you can finely tune sixteen different ESC parameters to perfectly suit your driving style and setup.

Adjustable Parameters
- Throttle Response – 1 ms to 3 ms
The shorter the time, the quicker the acceleration.
- Coast – Off, 10 to 30
When this function is activated, the car will not slow down immediately but will coast for a short distance when the throttle input is reduced.
- Neutral Range – 5% to 12%
The wider the neutral range, the further the throttle trigger or stick must be moved from the neutral point before the car begins to move.
- Minimum Throttle – 5% to 16%
The higher the value, the more aggressive the initial acceleration when moving the throttle trigger or stick away from the neutral range.
- Maximum Forward Force – 40% to 100%
The lower the value, the slower the maximum speed in the forward direction.
- Maximum Reverse Force – 40% to 100%
The lower the value, the slower the maximum speed in the reverse direction.
- Brake Response – 0.1 ms to 3 ms
The shorter the time, the quicker the braking response.
- Minimum Brake Force – Off, 15% to 50%
After entering braking mode, the higher the value, the stronger the brake force when moving the throttle trigger or stick away from the neutral range.
- Maximum Brake Force – 50% to 100%
The lower the value, the weaker the maximum braking force.
- Forward Drag Brake Force – Off, 20% to 100%
This is the braking force applied when the throttle trigger or stick is at the neutral position in forward mode. The lower the value, the longer the car will coast.
- Reverse Drag Brake Force – Off, 20% to 100%
This is the braking force applied when the throttle trigger or stick is at the neutral position in reverse mode. The lower the value, the longer the car will coast.
- Motor Rotation – CW or CCW
This controls the direction in which the motor spins. Depending on the installation, the default setting may cause the motor to run in the opposite direction. This function allows users to reverse the motor direction if needed.
- Running Mode – 3 Options
The three running modes are: Forward/Brake, Forward/Brake/Reverse, and Forward/Reverse.
- Reverse Mode – Available only when the running mode is set to Forward/Brake/Reverse
Two options are available: One Shot (pull the throttle trigger or stick once) and Two Shots (quickly pull the throttle trigger or stick twice).
- Cut-Off Voltage – Off or Auto
When set to Auto, the ESC automatically detects the number of LiPo cells when powered on. Use the Off setting for NiMH cells only.
- Thermal Protection – Off, 95 °C or 105 °C
The ESC will automatically stop operating when its internal temperature exceeds the selected threshold.
We want to make sure your delivery goes smoothly, so here are some important details about our service:
- For orders above £120, we offer delivery to most mainland UK addresses. For orders under £120, we can still deliver to Northern Ireland and the outlying isles, as long as the item can be sent by Royal Mail, weighs less than 30kg, and fits within 61cm × 46cm × 46cm. Some highland and remote areas may carry an extra delivery charge as couriers often apply surcharges in these locations. If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.
- Most of our products include delivery in the price. If your order is under £90, a small delivery fee will apply but do not worry this will always be clearly shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.
- Depending on what you choose at checkout, your order will usually be delivered either the next working day or within 2 working days. For next day delivery please place your order before 2:00pm. Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
- If a product is marked as "Dispatched within 3 working days" delivery usually takes around 3 to 5 working days from when your order is placed.
- For customers in Inverness and other parts of the Scottish Highlands deliveries can take up to 2 working days even if you select next day delivery as couriers do not currently offer a guaranteed next day service to those areas.
