How to combine FC and ESC of different brands or makes

Its fairly intuitive for the pilot to match brands or purchase a fc esc stack to ease the build process, but where's the fun in that?
Feel the accomplishment of matching a high end FC with a durable ESC, like T-motor F7 Pacer with a Hobbywing 60A, or Betaflight FC with a Fettec ESC, or vice versa. The fpv hobby encourages experimentation, so get the mixing and matching game on!
Just like in marriage and relationships, opposites attract, right?

This is gold. Thank you.

Very helpful thanks!!

thank for the info 🥰

[@bluefpv3263]

is the m1-m4 order relevant or can i just rearrange motors in betaflight later?

[@maddercat]

Can I control a dji mini2 esc with a betaflight fc? The mini2 esc has solder points and pinouts on its fc, and the description of what the pads are screenprinted on the fc. I guess not..the pins are boot, gnd, clk, dio, 3v3, rst, and 5 other non named pads.... These pins look different.

need to connect an iFlight Blitz F7 v1.1 fc (10 port harness, has 2 BAT and 2 GND) to a mamba 55 esc (has standard 8 port, suppose VCC is the same as BAT, all the others are labeled identical). Problem is what do I do with the additional BAT and GND on the iflight fc?

[@adrinfpv]

I assume on the fc, one pair vbat gnd is to power bec, and another is to power the fc. If I were you, I'd leave one pair out and see if the fc works fine. If u still want to power both pairs, just splice out vbat from mamba esc to be two vbats (one output vbat from mamba, solder on two wires to be two input vbat on iflight fc), and do the same for gnd.

@@adrinfpv Thanks for your reply, was actually thinking the same thing, still good to have a second opinion confirming that.

[@stevefpv4669]

@@adrinfpv or like keep the 10pin harness in the fc, on the esc end transfer 8 of the 10 pins into a 8 harness, connect that one to esc and solder the 2 remaining to esc bat and gnd...

[@alegtFPV]

@@stevefpv4669did you figure out if you need both vbats and gnds or just one couple?

[@stevefpv4669]

@@alegtFPV yep did exactly what I last commented, worked, and it's been working fine ever since.

So is it fair one can literally use any 4in1 esc with any flight controller?

[@adrinfpv]

I'd be lying if I said literally all...but most can be matched

[@missme9247]

@@adrinfpv so the important take away is just pay attention to the pin sequence of the plug and should in theory be good to go ?

hello master! my fpv's esc just gave up yesterday and im having a hard time looking for TEKKO32 F3 4IN1 45A ESC. what common esc can you recommend for my HOLYBRO KAKUTE F7 V1.5?

[@adrinfpv]

Just go with a Tmotor esc 45A or 50A
