TBS
The TBS Lucid flight stack is the latest in product engineering at TBS. Built for racing and freestyle applications and developed to cater to the needs of both seasoned pilots and enthusiastic newcomers.
Featuring an 8 layer high current density board with twice the market average on-board capacitance, the ESC is built to withstand the harshest punishment of everyday FPV flying while delivering buttery-smooth flight characteristics paired with face-melting acceleration. By focusing on thermal dissipation from the ground up, the flight stack achieves excellent power to weight density without the need of heavy heat sinks.
A close collaboration with AM32 allowed us to squeeze the last bit of performance without breaking the bank.

The TBS Lucid Flight controller is a 20x20 masterpiece that is built for the Lucid flight stack, but compatible with all 20x20 ESCs. It is similarly designed for the TBS Crossfire & TBS Tracer ecosystem, but will work with any radio receiver - we don't judge :)
There are plug & play connectors for the DJI O3 digital system and 4in1 ESCs, following the Betaflight connector standard. The solder pads for auxiliary devices are designed and arranged to be easy to solder and logical for installation in your favorite drone frames, such as the TBS Source One.
For the professional pilot, a MPU6000 (Pro) variant is available (those who know, will know), while the ICM-42688P (Freestyle) based version offers a state-of-the-art gyro solution at a better price.

Superior power delivery is additionally achieved by the innovative mounting brackets which avoid the complication of having to run mounting bolts through the middle of the ESC. We call this the "Gorilla" mount.
Frame developers are encouraged to integrate the gorilla mounting pattern into their new and upcoming frames. Backwards compatibility is provided through mounting brackets.
