ESC Programable ESC

I was looking to build a kit and when I looked at the "Everything You Need" section it said I needed a programmable ESC w/BEC. It also said I needed an Electronic Programmer. Do all ESC's require programming with an electronic programmer or do they come pre-programmed from the factory?

It depends on what ESC you go with. Most will come plug and play, but I highly suggest programming them so that you can set the voltage cutoff, slow start (if using a heli), brake function (if on a plane) and so on. But again, it depends on your application. What are you wanting to purchase an ESC for? We will get you some links or something to help out.

What they said :D
The stick method using your radio works with most. The only down side is its fiddly and you need to concentrate on the beeping sequences. The programme card is very simple to use and follow.
