RE: Castle Ice ESC's need input
I'm getting the ICE HV 80. I've been talking to a pattern guy who has a lot of experience with Castle Creations, and the ICE HV80 should do everything the HV85 does and more. I asked about the data logging, and while it doesn't have the same amount of memory or expandability the Eagletree logger, it should be more than sufficient.
So for a 2M ship, right now the options are the 80 and the 160 controllers. With a typical outrunner I would thing the 80 should be fine; I'm running a 110 size plane but running on 10S with an outrunner, and shouldn't need to run more than 65-70A continuous. Castle Creations says they have more stuff in the works, so maybe something in the 110 area may be coming up? I couldn't wait that long and ordered an ICE HV80 from Tower.
You can poke around in the regular pattern forum - there are some comments on the ICE HV, I think in APC or Data Logging threads?

OK then I've heard of people switching to these but how?

The specs say it only goes up to an 8S. Thanks again, Mike

Does anyone know anything about these?
What size for a 10S 2 meter plane typical setup with an outrunner?
I use the HV85's and a YGE now. What advantages will this have? TIA, Mike Mueller

I talked to Lockhart about these and am planning on trying one now that the HV version is available. The price point is good on it so what do I really have to lose as I will still have a pair of Phoeninx HV85 on the shelf and an Eagle Tree.
It will be a very interesting learning experience. I'll probably pick one up at Toledo.
