Default Ice Lite 50 Hz rate?

Does anybody know the Hz rate of a ice lite 50? My FBL gives me the choice of 60 120 200 or 333.

I'm going to assume it's the same for all of castles ESCs

I assume you are talking about the Spirit FBL unit. It is my understanding that for Jeti, Castle, and HobbyWing ESC's you set the Spirit to 120Hz.

Yes

Where do you think I could confirm this? Is this unique to spirit? I just called castle and they say to set it at 60.

I have used a cc ice lite 50a at 1520us 125hz on the Robird. Made no difference vs using it set to Analog which is 50hz. Worked fine both ways.

Does spirit have a setting for 1520us center pulse vs 760us for the throttle channel?

I don't know. There was a discussion about this Throttle Frequency in another thread, but it did not offer a source for verification.

I've never seen it in other FBL units other than Spirit.

I believe you are referring to servo center pulse and frequency; 1520us (cyclic), 760us (rudder).

The OP is referring to the Throttle Frequency of the ESC in this thread.

Ok, so at 120hz I see that it reacts to the throttle a little better.. but it still won't go full throttle (solid light). I tried all other setting (Hz) and it's still not working right..

I have taken the travel adjust all the way up in both the tx and the spirit.

I'm thinking the esc is just not ment to work with the spirit.

I can't think of any other settings to change
I think tomorrow I may de-solder my esc, bec, and sensor and solder it all up on an Align esc I have laying around..
