The Castle Creations Phoenix Edge HVF 160 combines the proven performance of the Phoenix Edge HV 160 with a factory-installed cooling fan for enhanced airflow and cooling performance in demanding applications. Designed for large helicopters, giant-scale aircraft, and high-power electric models, the HVF 160 supports 3S to 12S LiPo batteries and delivers 160 amps of continuous current capability.
The Phoenix Edge series features integrated data logging, telemetry capability, Castle Link programmability, and Castle's innovative AUX wire functionality, providing advanced control, monitoring, and safety features beyond traditional ESC operation.
🚀 Target Applications:
- 700 and 800 Class Professional Helicopters
- Giant Scale Fixed-Wing Aircraft
- Large Electric Aerobatic Models
- Large EDF Jets & High-Power Scale Electric Models
Key Features
- Factory-Installed Fan Assembly: Equipped with a top-mounted Castle cooling fan rated for 4.8V–7.4V operation to lower heat soak during long, high-load cycles.
- Airflow-Certified Capacity: Sustains up to 120A continuous load for the duration of a single 10,000mAh battery pack when backed by an active 5 mph breeze.
- Integrated Data Memory: High-resolution telemetry data logging records continuous metrics for battery voltage, motor RPM, amp draw, and internal board temperatures.
- Advanced Auxiliary Protocol: Programmable white AUX line enables in-flight helicopter governor gain changes, lost-model tracking beacons, or emergency arm locks.
- Multi-Platform Programming: Fully tune settings or flash firmware using a Windows PC or via the Castle Link iOS App paired with a B-LINK Bluetooth Adapter (sold separately).
🛡 Built-In Diagnostic Protection Features:
- Over-Temperature Cutoff: Safety power dampening steps prevent critical thermal overload conditions.
- Excessive Load Prevention: Safeguards your ESC power board from destructive current spikes.
- Locked Rotor Sensing: Shuts down immediate power cycles if a gear train binds or main blades crash.
