Castle hydra ice hv 200 problem

[atechbh]

Esc has worked perfect and went to use
Yesterday and won't power up. No beeping or anything. Worked fine last run. Just charged batteries and nothing
Now.
Do I need to send in for repair to castle or is there any fix?

I really don't know what happen to yours but I can say that my new 240 presentend a puffed capacitor on my second run and was substituted for a new unit at no charge...great customer support. It would be good If you can tell us what is your set up Gill

Only has ever run 6s with 1600 kv motor. In a miss geico 29
Dual cooler lines and motor and esc
Never get hot.

Does it get wet?Are you using the bec? Did you tested it with another motor?Is there any bulged capacitor? Just trying to figured out the issue .Gill

Has never been wet it is the driest boat I have. Won't beep or anything when plugged in I use a bec battery pack.

Capacitors look fine

I had the same issue. Sent the unit to Castle for repair, and received a new one.

[grsboats]

So as stated sent it for repair if its still under warranty time.

Can you connect a castle link with battery hooked up and see anything?

[Todd Fleury]

Tyler,
I was able to use the castle link, but for some reason, the esc freaked and would not initialize. Was really weird.

[madmikepags]

problem w the software send it back.

[atechbh]

When I plug it into the castle link it doesn't recognize it

I have a 200 HV that I just got and was supposed to be Brand new, Its in a 29" Mystic on 4S with Lehner 1940/4 Motor, batteries are Turnigy Nanotech 5600mah 2S. PUt it in the water it went 5ft and quit, motor , esc, and batteries weren't even warm to touch, everything was pretty much air temperature, took it out of the water lifted hatch, both capacitors on it blew right out of it.

Pretty tame setup for this caliber of ESC if you ask me. If I knew this was going to happen I would have just bought a $80 Seaking ESC.

Has anyone else ever had this happen? And what was the cause of it?

3914kv on 4s the lehner site shows 220 amps and almost 60000 rpm not tame by any strech

The 5ft part is what gets me, theres no way it was drawing that much I never even hit half throttle and just barley got on plane.
