Here are the most important reasons
Top Performance
LittleBee is using Silabs processor and fast dedicated driver chips, providing excellent freewheeling and exceptional brakign capabilities.
High Reliability
We're only using the best components available, period. And, as we build these in our own factory, our experienced staff ensures you're getting the best of the best!
Small Size
We know that with mini quads, every gram counts. LittleBee 20A is only 24.5x12.5mm, and weights only 4g, whilst LittleBee 30A is 35x17mm and weights 11g. Your multirotors can be smaller and lighter than ever before!
BLHELI firmware
To unleash it's full potential, LittleBee has been designed to run BLHELI firmware. Factory flashed with BLHELI 14, it's ready for action!
Oneshot125
Oneshot125 is a different and faster communication protocol between the flight controller and the ESC on your quadcopter. It allows the FC to send control commands to the motor quicker, therefore in theory your multirotor should perform better.
20A 3-4s / 30A 4-6s
LittleBee 20A is capable of running up to 4s setups, and the new LittleBee 30A can work with up to 6s.
Damped mode
This feature allows your motors to respond to throttle decreases much quicker, allowing for more stable flying, and higher response to throttle decreases.
Easy upgrades
With the BLHELI software rapidly evolving, you can flash the lastest firmware using the 3pin connector and suitable USB adapter*
sHow it works
Configuration of the LittleBee is very simple. Using your pc and USB programmer, you can change settings and flash latest firmware at a touch of a button.
Download and install software
You will need to download the BLHELI suite, and the drivers required by your USB Programming tool.
Connect ESC and configure settings
Once connected, you will get access to a number of settings that control behaviour of your ESC controller.
Enable OneShot125, Damped light mode, reverse motor direction, all available on one easy to use screen.
Original vs. Fake
As with any other popular product on the market, we have been notified of cloned LittleBee ESC's sold by various websites. These are of poor quality and do not provide the same performance as the original product.
You can easily spot the fakes, as they come with matte pcb finish, whereas original LittleBee ESC has a nice and smooth glossy finish
Original vs. Fake
Additionally, cloned esc's seem to have a very rough PCB edge, while original LittleBee ESC has a very good qualty finish and smooth edges.

This ESC has a good design with fast dedicated driver chips, which gives excellent freewheeling and exceptional braking. (...) this indicates that the ESC will prove to be a reliable performer. And so far, this is the closest performer to KISS that I have seen in this size.

I was given a set of these esc's to test for a local retailer. They have proven to be excellent!! 300 grams (approximately) more thrust than the SN20 ESCs!.

Tested these 'little bee' out myself today. The frame still needs some tuning, this was a maiden but I was immediately blown away.
Multi Rotor UK
Blheli S Configurator
I love the performance of these little beasts. Finally a top performing ESC that doesn't go up in flames for no reason.
I think it's time to KISS my old ESC's goodbye! (pun intended!)
Stay tuned, as there is more LittleBee products to come in a future.

Blheli32 Suite Official
I've got a new F4 AIO board arriving tomorrow and it uses BLHeli_S. But in my research I've found a couple different links to BLHeli_S and have also seen a note stating to use the latest configurator. So I am guessing I need to use the Win64 version of the Configurator found here: Releases · blheli-configurator/blheli-configurator (github.com) but I'm not sure where to go to get the actual latest BLHeli-S firmware. Or do I even need to worry about firmware? So far all the ESC's I've worked with use BLHeli32 and I use the BLHeliSuite32 and the main thing I've used it for is to reverse motor directions if/as needed. I don't think I've ever worried about firmware updates for my BLHeli32 ESC's.
Also, would I be correct to assume the BLHeli32Suite is the Configurator for BLHeli32? And therefore the Win64 version of the BLHeli_S configurator works in a similar fashion to the 32Suite? I'm just trying to reconcile in my brain what the equivalents are between the two.
Lastly, will I create any conflicts or issues by having both on the same computer? I've read that you cannot have more than one version of Betaflight Configurator on a PC or it will create issues, so I'm trying to head off any possible issues beforehand.
As always...thanks for the help!
