 This is the Castle Creations Hydra ICE2 HV 200 HV Brushless ESC. There's simply nothing else like the Hydra Ice2 HV 200 controller. These controllers are designed to take fast electric RC to new levels. Aside from mind bending amperage capabilities, these controllers offer all of the standard Hydra series programming features PLUS a first for the RC boating market: data logging!
The controller measures and records parameters such as battery volts, amp draw, motor rpm, controller temperature and battery ripple voltage. This is a great way to make sure that the entire setup is performing within its limits. Data may be read from the controller after a run using the Castle Link USB adapter and a Windows PC running the free Castle Link software.
Features:
- Extremely Low Resistance
