Impressive power, look forward to reading/learning more about this.

Awesome stuff like always Pat & crew of Castle !!!!

No word on the release date yet - - we are still in the testing phase right now.

8600Watt outrunner: Click

The PERFECT motor for the new 160A 16S ESC in a E-Bike hehe! Well, 300A 16S would be a little safer actually...

Last year, I was asking for 30S 500 A controllers for our FSAE car http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/show...t=17955&page=2 Castle didn't have any, so we had to go with Kelly.

The max motor current is 500 A per motor and there's one motor for each rear wheel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deck4wA1gRQ

If Castle is making an 80S 150 A controller, we'll consider it for our next car.

Regards,
Thomas

If you tires aren't squeeling, you ain't driving hard enough. :)

Nice video and car though!

Drove a lot of the MRT5 (McGill's FSAE car from a few years ago; gas powered) via sim (www.liveforspeed.net). Quite a fun little car to drive.

+1

I would really like to see a 20S ESC :)

I have to ask it again, as I'm so curious to this ESC: any updates?

Pdelcast · 12.14.2010, 05:21 PM

Sorry, still in the testing phase...

This is a big project, and will take a while. At SHV voltages, safety is a big concern.

Thanx!

Can you give some info about the "low cost MMM" as mentioned on some other forum?

No -- no details available yet.

coolhandcountry · 12.14.2010, 07:29 PM

Wow!
The demand for high voltage is still growing.
Why couldn't castle had been around when I had the money to put into these?

Well, if you read the comments...

22A no load current is horrible. There is something wrong with the magnetic design of that motor. A motor of that size and kV should have a no-load current of around 1.5A or 2A... not 22A.

1KW of loss to eddy and hysteresis loss is just terrible.

ZippyBasher · 12.15.2010, 02:02 AM

Lets Just hope its 2.2... ;) But Seriously, any news you can shed on on this controller or and motors involved? I certainly would buy CC over (ed) HK anyday...
I need to power a E-Dirtboard. And rather use In-runner Via Chain/Sprocket. Maybe the MMMXL isnt enough... Although I have been thinking....

Thank You!!
