Welcome to the next generation of high voltage brushless speed controls from Castle Creations. Having invented this class of Electronic Speed Controls, Castle Phoenix HV series are the gold standard. Now were raising the bar.

Phoenix Ice HV controllers offer incredible reliability and flexibility for your high powered applications. Now available in 40, 60, 80, 120, 160, and 160 Lite amp configurations.

• Ready to fly out of the bag, but users can tap into serious computing capabilities by connecting them to Castle Link software using a Castle Link or upcoming Field Link programming card.
• Comprehensive heli feature set, including direct entry governor mode, autorotation with bailout, and soft start capabilities to protect your gearing (see the screenshot below for more details).
• Opto isolated throttle cable helps reduce radio interference.
• Full data logging capabilities. Measure amp draw, controller temperature, motor rpms, battery voltage and ripple and more. Take the mystery out of electric flight!

Castle now has an optional Quick Connect for more convenient data log downloading and adjusting controller settings. The quick connect is a special harness that allows you to keep the speed controller plugged into the receiver when connecting to the Castle Link. It has an extra 12″ servo lead that can be placed wherever it is convenient to plug in the link, while your speed controller stays connected to the receiver. No more digging into your setup to get to the receiver just to pull off your data or change settings!

Two versions: The HV Ice comes in two versions: Standard version, mounted in a finned heatsink, which is optimized for demanding RC heli and sport aircraft applications up to a max of 12S LiPo cells (50 Volts), and a Lite version packaged in heat shrink for users with tight fuselages and weight considerations, also with a max of 12S LiPo input.

All Phoenix Ice ESCs are ready to fly out of the bagno programming is necessary for most aircraft applications. The controllers are set at the factory for Auto Lipo detect/cutoff operation and they are tuned for optimum outrunner performance.

Advanced users will find the incredible programmability of the Phoenix Ice allows for performance characteristics tailored exactly to their desires. This is where Castle’s Programming Link and free programming software on your personal computer come in really handy.

Heli users are raving about the performance of Castles programmable helicopter modes which include options to directly enter desired governed headspeeds as numerical values! Every heli power combination requires slightly varying governor gains and Castle makes these easy to tweak, and the net result is a rock solid tail.
