sure it sure look to be the esc problem and there's a recall for all the ice esc, but anything can happen the best can be the worst in some case, i do own few of the ice esc and they seem to be working just fine. will send it back, they will give you a new one for sure if that's the case.... good luck
Hey mate I´m sorry about that, did you verify solder joints on the esc, have you tried to change timing, switching or pole number options on the castle creation?
I bought a Castle Mamba Monster esc and it died on the second day.I put a Castle Phoenix ice esc in my heli and it occasionally drops from the sky like a rock.I switched to a Ez run esc in my truck and have had no issues.I put an Align esc in my heli and I have no more problems.Castle really needs to get their act together.I will never buy another CC product.
Hope this works out for you. I'd be pretty steamed.
I have heard so many similar stories and personally saw a t-rex 700 go down running one of the castle brand ESC's that I've decided to avoid them and go with a brand that has a good reputation. Heard good things about kontronic, expensive but on a $2000 heli I can't afford crap hardware like this causing a crash.
ya so send it back fer repairs -castle will fix it im sure i ve got one it works fine -best thing on my heli! now e-flite esc you can throw in the garbage!
I had a phoenix-25 and the same thing happened, it turned out that one of the solder joints in the bullet connectors on the wires going to the motor had come loose. I re-soldered it and it worked fine. Could this be your problem?
Hey man sry bout the controller i happen to work for castle and we get this problem alot it is most likely a short that just didn't get caught in testing, we're still only a 50 employee company pushing thousands of controller per month out the door and we only have one customer repair tech, so please hang in there. i now this doesn't help but yeah and stuff, lol
