castle hydra ice 240

Can someone post what the data charts look like from the hydra ICE?

[pandianightcross]

I trust castle products , in my fav RC truck that is what I run is a castle esc and motor. great performance and alot of customization. This is one of those times when actually spending alot means getting alot

Something like this.

Thanks for sharing! Is there a summary for each variable somewhere? Like avg amps etc? Can you choose to display certain things instead of all at one time?

[RaceMechaniX]

Yes, it is on the bottom of the log page below the chart. However when I save the file as an image it cuts off the lower table. But yes, it shows the average, max and min for each stored variable.

Just got mine today!

Normally on setups higher then 4s I run a rx pack. But with this esc I see that I can adjust the bec voltage where I like it. My question is has anyone run this esc on 6s with the bec? Just curious.

[T.S.Davis]

MEEE TOOOOO! BEC on 6s would be sweet if it was trustworthy.

[RaceMechaniX]

Yes, I ran mine on 8S with the BEC. No problems even using a 400 oz-in digital servo on steering however I did not get enough testing time on it to really make a definitive statement.

I am about to install two of these in my 54" Fountain. Looking forwardt o all the features like data logging and reverse. I also like the way you can program the amount of reverse to give it.

Then again my Spektrum radio dose the same thing.

[LuckyDuc]

Has anyone run one and compared the results to the results from an Eagle tree to see how they compare for the same boat/setup? I'm curious to see how OR if the results differ greatly. Also, any word on if CC plans to offer a GPS add-on in the future for getting speed readings?

I have run the ICE100 on 6S extensively without problems, haven't tried 8S.

Comparing the ICE to the Eagletree should give different results, as I understand it the amp draw the ICE displays is calculated rather than measured directly. The differences should be slight, but I'd be surprised if the two devices gave identical results.

From what I understand of the units, Castle is measuring the voltage drop across the FETS and knowing their resistance calculating the current. I noticed in my testing that the amp draw was a little on the high side compared to a eagle tree with the current loop measurement.

GREAT... I will give it a try my servo is only 180oz torque digital. My castle 6.5mm bullets don't look like they will fit he 8 gauge wire easily. I may bump up to 8mm on the motor/esc and just keep the batt side 5.5mm. My 5.5mm are half shell so the 8 gauge won't be a issue on those. Any comments.

Hull is a 40" HK Vanquish
Motor is a CC1717

This new esc is rather large. Plan your next build carefully around it.

Can you get a measurement?
