(2) Castle Hydra Ice2 HV 200a ESCs

[dethow]

BOTH ARE SOLD as of 10/28/2014.

I have two (2) hard to find Castle Hydra Ice2 HV 200a ECSs with becs, links and quickconnects. ESCs are used while other pieces are new.

One (1) Setup has SOLD, One (1) Still Available.

$250.00 (Now $225) for each setup. Setup includes (1) ESC, (1) BEC, (1) Castle Link, and (1) Castle QuickConnect.
Free shipping within the continental United States.
Willing to ship outside US but would have to check cost and negotiate with buyer.
Payment through PayPal.
"All correspondence must be in this thread. PMs will not be answered."

These can not be found easily and if bought new you are looking at $368.92 total for each setup plus shipping costs. Prices from OffShore Electrics.com

I was going to be using them for builds but have since decided to go with slightly smaller boats running 4s and don't need this much power.
I purchased these used on ebay. I have not hooked them up to anything since purchasing. This is the condition description provided by the ebay seller I bought from.
“All of our listed speed controllers were purchased in bulk (unless otherwise specified). These units are in good used condition. For customer assurance each has been tested and is fully functional. Testing included both motor and castle link programming. Each has been updated to the latest firmware. Unit may have some wear from storage and previous use (light scuffs, dings, and dirt). Pictures are of actual item and only it is included in this sale.”

I sell on ebay with same user name 'dethow'. Please feel free to see I have 100% positive feedback. I pride myself on being an honest seller.

Just to be clear, "Each has been updated to the latest firmware" means that both of these ESC's have been corrected by Castle under the old recall?

Thanks,
Michael P.

Yes, they are updated to the latest firmware. But to be 100% clear the recall or "Service Advisory" as Castle called, was to replace a board inside not the firmware. The sign of update is that these are labeled Hydra ICE2. When I purchased these I called Castle to educate myself on the "Service Advisory" and to ask about the product and/or risk of buying used. They said they did produce the Hydra ICE2 after the service Advisory came out so it's unknown if these 2 were made after or if they were repaired by Castle. Additionally, they told me they will always make repairs and service these ESCs if anything goes wrong.
Here is a link to the Service Advisory they have out on the PHOENIX ICE HV, MAMBA XL, and HYDRA ICE HV;

Are these still for sale ?

Are these still for sale ?

Yes... they sure are.

The link posted was for a previous service advisory dated 8/20/11, there was another after that on 5/11/12 about another changehttp://www.castlecreations.com/suppo...1201-foam.html The ones with this update were identified with a red dot near the end, I believe on the top side IIRC.

[dethow]

Thanks for that info kevinpratt823. I've never seen that Service Advisory 2012-01. The only one I had seen was 2011-03 which basically says if its labeled with the ICE2 sticker its good. And when I talked to Castle repairs department on the phone they never mentioned SA 2012-01

So as for Service Advisory 2012-01; neither unit has the red dot, but one unit has the RX wire tag. I opened them up and sure enough the one with RX wire tag has the foam, while the other has nothing.
As Castle directs, I will be connecting them to have them send me the foam kit.

Meanwhile, as for this sale, It's up to the buyer. You can wait for me to get the foam kit or you could get it yourself and put it in. It's easy to do. Four screws, lift the cover, put a foam piece at the end of the board, close back up with the four screws.

By the way... I noticed in the photo I put up of both units opened to show with and without foam, it looks like the one without foam has a dark area (burn). That was only my shadow. I reopened it to make sure and its fine. Here's a new photo of it using a flash.

Price Reduction to $225 each setup or $440 for both.

Given the previously discussed Service Advisories I understand these used units are a bit of a risk so here's a great price for two high-end ESCs.
If I may add some reassurance, when I talked to the repair department at Castle they said they still service these units and would most likely be able to repair any problems. I'm not saying these units have problems. To the best of my knowledge they are fully functional. I just want it to be known that just because these units are not made anymore does not mean you will be left high and dry if they ever do fail. Castle is a great company and they stand behind their products.

[dethow]

Bump... and I received the foam kit from Castle. So both units are now completely up to date on the Service Advisories.
Please consider that the Becs, Links and Quickconnects cost $58.93 from OSE so these ESCs are effectively being sold at $166.07 each.
That's a good deal on an over $300 ESC.
