AIR ESC: PHOENIX EDGE 120 HV AMP ESC, 12
AIR ESC: PHOENIX EDGE 120 HV AMP ESC, 12
Phoenix Edge Series ESCs are the next evolution in speed controller technology. The white user-programmable auxiliary wire can be used for features such as helicopter governor gain input adjustments mid-flight, serving as an audible beacon after an “unexpected landing”, acting as an RPM output for 3-axis gyros that support RPM sensors, be used as an ESC arming lock, or as a receiver arming lock. Combined with data logging, access to Castle’s industry leading software functions, and USB programming capability via Castle Link USB adapter, or the Castle Link App and a B-LINK Bluetooth Adapter, Phoenix Edge offers unparalleled versatility.
Phoenix Edge HV 120 offers a voltage input range from 3S to 12S LiPo, and 120A continuous amperage capability - perfect for use in 550, 600, or 700 class helicopters, and giant scale fixed wing aircraft.

Product Features
| Data Logging: | Available using Castle Link USB adapter and the Castle Link Windows software to read, analyze, and store the data recorded on the ESC. |
| Power System Alerts: | The Edge 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. |
| AUX Functionality: | The Edge ESCs offer an AUX LINE, which is the extra white wire connected to the receiver cable. This line may be used for a variety of tasks such as helicopter governor gain input adjustments mid-flight, serve as an audible beacon after an "unexpected landing", act as an RPM output for 3-axis gyros that support RPM sensors, be used as an ESC arming lock or as a receiver arming lock. |
| 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 and compatible Futaba Radio or Castle Telemetry Link for X-BUS and a compatible Spektrum Radio. |
| Protection Features: | Arm Lock Key: When the Arm Lock Key is in the socket, the controller will be incapable of arming. RC Arm Lock: The controller will not arm or run when the auxiliary channel is below 50% after connecting the AUX line to an open channel on your receiver that is programmed to serve as an arm lock switch. |
| Programmability: |
Fully programmable Castle feature set using Castle Link USB adapter and freely downloadable Castle Link Windows software. (A small subset of the settings available through Castle Link Windows software can be accessed via manual programming through the transmitter stick). |
| 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 Windows 10 to run the Castle Link software, provided the Macintosh has an Intel processor. Macintosh installation is not supported by Castle Creations.
Additional Castle Link benefits include:
- Access expanded programming and parameters for Castle controllers (see overview below)
- Access to all firmware updates, including added features sets released from Castle Engineering, at no charge.
- Intuitive Demo Mode capability
- Ability to default ESC to factory settings
- Ability to save setup profiles for later use
- Ability to download and view data logs (on applicable controllers)
