Is there any manual available for download?I'd like to know if the ESC supports a "fix rpm" Mode like the Castle ESCs do or if this is maybe a planned feature for a newer firmware version. Price is great.

Hang on - That's not fair you ask a question then answer it yourself. Now you have me interested. What is 'fix rpm' mean?
I rule that you are now required to supply the quoted information or I will cry into my beer.

I think he means governor mode. Looks like it has three modes for governor.

No, he means not ;)
Castle Creations Phoenix ESCs support a special mode, where you can program 3 fixed rpms to the ESC (via USB Link) - you only have to know about your motor poles and your gear. Then you can use these settings by having your throttle in the defined ranges (e.g. throttle between 50% and 90% always sets the 2nd programmed rpm) - works great and reliable and you don't have to use your tachometer anymore. You don't even have to worry about different battery types, which is a problem with normal governors. As far as I know, Castle ESCs are the only ones which support this feature. Anyway - I'll give the 60A a try in a 450 size CopterX V2 with Lightning Heli Quad-Blade head (will be a small scale machine... parts laying around for a year now...)

I was delighted to see these ESC's come out. They have 2 of the main things I wanted in an ESC-Data Logging, and Firmware upgrade capability.
Actually they had three - They are sold by HK (inexpensive). Curtis |

I'm not happy with the LVC, though. Essentially 3.0V per cell, which I find too low. For a "programmable" ESC, not being able to set a custom LVC is irritating....
But $25 for a data logger is still pretty huge. :) grnbrg. |

we (my friend and i) have exactly the same problem!
first of all the cables were not made correct etc etc! this is really NOT good! received package: looks fine. closer look: servo wires are INCORRECT! needed to open the connectors, same thing for power wire: if you connect following the plastic cons you have empty+black red+red and black+empty! nice job! same for the 3cable wires: INCORRECT!!! friend has same problem! upgrade files??? what and where to find on internet? connected scorpion 4025-630 to setup throtle end points. ok, engine runs works. then as the -non provided- manual says: connect to pc. did this, setup correct etc, most thing are on auto. all clear. NEW engine dead, no beeps no nada... tried another engine. no go not realy our first heli setup we do... tried everything, other rx, other lipo, other everything... rev throttle etc etc .. I have already been TRYING the online support for 2days!.. connect at 8am, 48in line, by 5pm, 3d in line. nice support and help from hc! This is getting really bad, we are now just waiting for other people to have this problem. strange thing i was first to do a review on this esc. cheap bought, expensive used! better thing was to by a CC 85HV, thats proven quality and service !!! |
