TBS Lucid Freestyle Stack 6S 60A

Early production samples had a silkscreen issue with UART3 RX and TX markings, but this has been fixed. The TBS Lucid flight stack is TBS's latest engineering marvel. It's designed for racing and freestyle flying, perfect for both experienced pilots and newbies. At its core, it features the latest AT32 microprocessors with AM32 flight control software and an innovative bracket - mounting solution. This allows for high power density without heat buildup around the mounting poles and is compatible with 30.5 x 30.5mm and 20 x 20mm mounting patterns. Through smart engineering, it's compatible with all kinds of quads, from 3” to 8” propellers, 3S - 6S, and works with any digital or analog video system. There's a MPU6000 (Pro) variant for pros, and an ICM - 42688P (Freestyle) version offers a great gyro solution at a better price. Flight Controller Specs: MCU is AT32F435RMT7, 288MHz; gyro is ICM - 42688P; it supports 4 motors with telemetry and current sensor; BEC is 9V, 2.5A and 5V 2A; OSD is AT7456E; blackbox is 8M; there are 6 UARTs; input is 3S - 6S; size is 31mm*29mm; mounting is 20mm*20mm; weight is 4.51g. ESC Specs: ESC software is AlkaMotors32 (AM32); ESC target is tbslu6s4in1; rated current is 60A x 4 for 300 seconds; peak current is 70A x 4 for 60 seconds; propellers can be up to 9', over 7' needs good airflow; input is 3 - 6S Lipo; protocol is bi - directional Dshot 300/600 and KISS ESC Telemetry; it has an ESC Current port; no BEC; size is 34mm*44mm; mounting options include Gorilla - mount (39.5 x 16.0mm) or brackets for 20x20 mm, 30.5x30.5 mm; weight is 13.81g, 19g incl. brackets. The innovative 'Gorilla' mount provides superior power delivery by avoiding running mounting bolts through the ESC middle. Frame developers can integrate this pattern into new frames, and backwards compatibility is available via mounting brackets. Downloads include Gorilla mounting pattern, Frame developer pack for Gorilla mounting pattern, AM32 Online Configurator, AM32 Firmware, and TBS Lucid Manual.

Using the TBS Lucid Freestyle Stack 6S 60A is quite straightforward. First, make sure to check the mounting pattern that suits your quad - whether it's 20x20mm or 30.5x30.5mm, and use the appropriate mounting option. If you choose the Gorilla mount, it offers great power delivery and is easy to install. When it comes to power input, ensure you're using a 3S - 6S Lipo battery as specified. For propellers, you can use ones up to 9', but if you go over 7', make sure there's good airflow around the quad. As for flight control, the AT32 microprocessors with AM32 software work together to give you a smooth flying experience. If you're a professional pilot, you might want to go for the MPU6000 (Pro) variant, while the ICM - 42688P (Freestyle) version is a great value option. Maintenance is important. Regularly check the connections of the motors, sensors, and other components to make sure they're secure. Keep the stack clean from dust and debris, especially around the cooling areas. When it comes to software, use the provided AM32 Online Configurator to make any necessary adjustments, and keep the firmware up - to - date by downloading the latest version from the official source. Remember, this stack was designed with a previous silkscreen issue that has been fixed, so don't worry about that. And if you're a frame developer, feel free to integrate the Gorilla mounting pattern into your new designs for better performance.
