Castle HV Phoenix controllers

[forresterace]

Castle has officially introduced the Phoenix HV (high voltage) controllers

http://www.castlecreations.com/

They are posted as being back-ordered for 2-3 weeks, however I saw the 85 amp model at my local electric specialist hobby shop today (he had already sold the 110 amp one that he had as well). It is a very impressive looking piece with its stacked boards and built-in heat sinks.

These should give Shultze and BK a real run in the high power end of things.

Lower prices and renowned customer service will, I'm sure, be a major factor.

I just installed a Baracuda 125 in my P Mono and ran it this past Thursday.

The controller performed flawlessly. The motor and batteries came out warmer than the controller did. This particular boat has a habit of melting the Castle 80 amp controllers. No problems with the 125.

So far so good on the ones we have sold also. I have a one customer running it on 20 cells without a problem. Plus I put one in my p mono boat also. Without water-cooling it runs as cool as cucumber. My only wish is that it was a 24cell esc.

Hey guys - read it again. This is not the Barracuda 125 I'm talking about. This is a whole new series of ESC designed for ultra high power and high voltage - 50 volts (36 cell nimh or 12S lipoly) and three amp capacities (45 A, 85 A & 110 A)

"It shall be done, but no timeline to start on it just yet - maybe a few

months?"
