The Hobbywing XRotor Pro H80A 14S FOC is a single-motor ESC with field-oriented control (FOC) for multicopters and fixed-wing aircraft of the mid class. It drives one motor and weighs 87 g without leads.
The continuous current is 40 A and applies with good cooling, the peak current is 100 A for 3 s; the 80 in the name matches neither value. Good cooling is easier to provide in a fixed-wing aircraft with airflow than in the hover of a multicopter, where the continuous current has to be set correspondingly lower. The voltage window runs from 6S to 14S, i.e. up to 58.8 V fully charged. Control is by PWM and CAN (Dual Throttle, two throttle inputs). The CAN telemetry reports the status to the flight controller, and built-in data logging is added.
Frame and law: classification concerns the aircraft. Depending on take-off mass these are EU classes C1 to C3 or unclassed aircraft with their own weight limits; for VTOL fixed-wings the whole take-off mass counts. On 14S it is 51.8 Wh per ampere-hour; from about 1.9 Ah a pack passes the IATA limit of 100 Wh, from 3.1 Ah the 160 Wh limit.
For selection and wear: with a motor of high continuous current, the H80A is not run at its limit. Because FOC regulates more slowly than a racing controller, it suits large, sluggish propellers rather than fast load changes. After the flight the log shows whether overload or heat occurred; solder joints and capacitors age through thermal cycling.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
