AIR ESC: TALON 120HV, 120AMP, 12S MAX, HEAVY DUTY BEC
AIR ESC: TALON 120HV, 120AMP, 12S MAX, HEAVY DUTY BEC
Talon HV 120 is the first high voltage controller to come out of the Castle factory with a built-in BEC. This powerhouse features a 20A peak BEC with selectable 6v or 8v output voltage. With a voltage input range from 3S to 12S LiPo, and a 120A continuous amperage capability, it’s capable of up to 6000W of continuous power for a wide variety of heli and fixed wing applications. The sleek aluminum case keeps the ESC cool during high power demand situations. For set-ups with limited airflow, such as under canopies or in a fuselage, there is an optional 40mm fan (sold separately; operates at 4.8 - 7.4 volts). Talon HV 120 has access to Castle’s industry leading software functions, and USB programming capability via Castle Link USB Adapter.

| Tech Notes: N/A |
*RC HOBBY APPLICATION RATING: 120 amps for the duration of a single 10,000 mAh battery pack with the ESC in contact with a 5 mph airflow of25°C (77°F) or cooler air. Controller temperature must never exceed100°C (212°F). Exceeding current or temperature ratings may damage components and may shorten the life of the ESC. Always verify system current draw at full-throttle. Decrease load or increase airflow to decrease the ESC’s operating temperature.
**Peak indicates amperage sustainable for 0.5 seconds - long enough for most servos’ current draw transients. Always confirm servo current draw before the first flight of the model.
Product 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. |
| Warranty: Coupled with our unparalleled 1-year warranty and world-famous technical support, Castle provides confidence and peace of mind that your Talon 120 HV is a smart investment. In this day of “throw-away” electronics, put your investment in a trusted name with a proven track record of support and service. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
