UNLEASH THE POWER WITH THE ULTIMATE BEC!
Introducing the Talon HV 120, the powerhouse ESC that comes equipped with the biggest Battery Eliminator Circuit (BEC) in the neighborhood! This groundbreaking controller is the first high-voltage offering from Castle, packed with impressive features to elevate your flying experience.
Unmatched BEC Capability:
The Talon HV 120 sets a new standard with its built-in BEC, boasting a whopping 20A peak output. It allows you to select between 6v or 8v output voltage, providing the versatility needed for various applications. With a voltage input range from 3S to 12S LiPo batteries, and a continuous amperage capability of 120A, this ESC delivers up to 6000W of continuous power. Whether you're flying helis or fixed-wing aircraft, the Talon HV 120 has you covered.
Efficient Cooling:
Designed to handle high-power demands, the Talon HV 120 features a sleek aluminum case that effectively dissipates heat during intense flights. Even in setups with limited airflow, such as under canopies or in fuselages, you have the option to add an optional 40mm fan (sold separately) that operates at 4.8 - 7.4 volts, ensuring optimal cooling and performance.
Unleash the Software Power:
With access to Castle's industry-leading software functions, the Talon HV 120 provides unparalleled control and customization. Fine-tune your settings and unleash the full potential of your ESC with ease. Just remember to remove the BEC power wire from the receiver before connecting to Castle Link.
The Talon HV 120 is the epitome of power, performance, and convenience. Upgrade your setup with this exceptional ESC and experience the next level of flying excitement.
Features:
Power System Alerts:
The Talon ESCs are programmed to sound a number of tunes and codes using the motor as well as flashing LED patterns to alert users to certain conditions regarding their power system, such as over temperature, excessive load and locked head speed.
Telemetry Capable:
Telemetry has the potential not only to improve the safety of our models by monitoring battery voltages, ESC temperature, and other critical parameters, but it also creates other opportunities to get even more fun out of flying because you’ve essentially reduced the risks of “unknown” inevitable crashes. Think of the benefits to be had from alarms that will sound to warn you when there's interference about or if your receiver battery is running unexpectedly low. Requires purchase of Castle Telemetry Link for S.BUS2 (Item # 010-0152-00) and compatible Futaba Radio or Castle Telemetry Link for X-BUS (Item# 010-0148-00) and a compatible Spektrum Radio.
Firmware Upgrade:
Users will receive free access to all firmware updates, including added features sets using the Castle Link USB Programming Kit
Castle Link Compatible:
With the Castle Link USB Programming Kit you can use your Windows™ PC to easily program your controller. Castle Link includes all code for all Castle Link compatible hobby products in one convenient download. Note: Castle Link software requires a Castle Link USB Adapter and a computer that is running Windows. Castle Link is compatible with Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10.Macintosh users may take advantage of software such as Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion, or Apple's Boot Camp along with Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows10 to run the Castle Link software, provided the Macintosh has an Intel processor. Macintosh installation is not supported by Castle Creations.
