New Castle Products: X

There is some logged data on the brand new ESC already. Is that some kind of testrun on a bench? Looks interesting.

Hi just got to play with my monster x and have a few questions.

I did the kv test on my 2650 and it came up as 3250. Wouldn't that make the motor a 1600 kv motor? That was with no pinion just the motor spinning. It's a new castle 2650.

Does it matter what I set torque control to on the castle link when I assign the aux wire to torque control?
Or does setting the aux wire ser to torque control overide Whatever I have it set on the castle link.

On the aux wire it seems to work from neutral to full negative travel. Does positive travel do anything? Like is neutral basically torque control disabled and full negative travel full torque control?

What you are seeing is the testing done to the controller during the production process. After the board is populated and the wires attached it goes to "first test". We run the motor in reverse with no load and then forward on a 50 amp load for at least 5 seconds.

After the case and labels are attached and the ESC is potted (waterproofed) it goes in for "second test". We apply 20 then 30 volts and then run the same power test as before.

The last test is the low voltage cut-off test. You can see in the 3rd session where the voltage slowly steps down and then cuts off.

This is done to every single ESC that we manufacture.
