Castle Creations Phoenix Edge 160HV 50V 160-Amp ESC

This is the Castle Creations Phoenix Edge HV 160 Speed Control for use with 700 or 800 class helicopters, or giant scale airplanes. The HV 160 handles up to 160-amps of continuous current and can be used with up to 12S LiPo battery packs.

With the debut of the Phoenix Edge series of ESCs the next evolution in speed controller technology has arrived.  The Edge series introduces a user programmable auxiliary wire capable of functions modelers have only dreamed of, until now.  The white auxiliary wire can be used for helicopter governor gain input adjustments mid-flight, serve as an audible beacon after an unexpected landing, act as an RPM output for 3-axis gyros that support RPM sensors, be used as an ESC arming lock (coupon for free Arming Lockout Key included) or as a receiver arming lock.  Combined with the data logging capability the Edge series of controllers offer, users can enjoy unparalleled versatility.

*RC HOBBY APPLICATION RATING: 160 amps for the duration of a single 10,000 mAh battery pack with the ESC in contact with a 5 mph airflow of 25C (77F) or cooler air.  Controller temperature must never exceed 100C (212F).  Exceeding current or temperature ratings may damage components and may shorten the life of the ESC.  Always verify system current draw at full-throttle.  Decrease load or increase airflow to decrease the ESC’s operating temperature.
