  • Enhanced Data Logging includes:
    • Double the maximum sample frequency of older generations.
    • 8x increased logging time of older generations.
    • Data point for ESC electrical motor timing.
    • Data point for acceleration via onboard accelerometer.
    • Looping feature prevents interruptions in data log recording.
    • Ability to download specific sessions.
  • Additional tuning features include:
    • Improved braking adjustability
    • Separate brake and reverse curves
    • Highly adjustable internal BEC. (5.0V - 8.0V adjustable in 0.1V increments)
  • Access to tuning options and firmware updates for free with Castle Link V4 USB programmer included with purchase. Now with USB-C connector! (Requires Windows 10 or higher)
  • Mounting holes located in bottom of aluminum case for installation into vehicle.
 
MORE FEATURES:
  • Input Voltage Range 6.0v - 25.2v (2s - 6s LiPo)
  • SmartSense™, Sensored Only and Brushed Motor Operation Modes
  • Powerful Integrated 8A Peak Adjustable BEC (5.0V - 8.0V)
  • CRYO-DRIVE™ Technology minimizes the amount of time the ESC’s electrical components spend generating heat, resulting in improved thermal performance during partial throttle operation where the majority of driving occurs
  • ESC is housed in a rugged CNC aluminum case and potted in waterproof epoxy to  protect the electronics and promote efficient heat transfer
  • Premium forged heatsink with elliptical fins for superior air flow and increased heat dissipation
  • Oversized factory equipped thermally controlled 30mm cooling fan
  • Waterproof design for all weather conditions
  • Data logging capability to capture and record performance data from your vehicle
  • Auxiliary wire functionality for "on-the-fly" adjustments using your transmitter
