Esc choice

[Shogun71]

Anyone use a castle ice 50 on their warp?

I have one sitting here with nothing to power....

It is the version with the heat sink and the plastic cover, not the lite version with heat shrink cover.

On another 450 6s heli I had mine catch fire so I don't buy castle any more.It the only esc I ever had fail and I wanted to support a USA company but I'm running a Yep 45a on the Warp and my Beam on 6s and no problems with using it's bec.$27 with program card from Hobbyking.

I have installed a yep 45 also.. i havent had a chance to test it yet tho

Mine (yep) has passed the 25 flights test, in the last three days

I probably can't punish the esc like alot of pro pilots but I have done a mintue of pitch pumps with mks 92a and8910a tail on the Warp and nothing even got warm except the motor.Depending how smooth your swash/ ball links are has a large factor on servo draw so the internal bec might not handle in some cases.

I have the ice50 lite with a castle bec added so I could go 7.4 volts and a bit more servo amps.

16t fixed endpoint gives 2850 max at 100%..

18t fixed endpoint gives 3300 max at 100%
18t govd at 3150 is the higest you can go without bashing into 100 motor power out too often.

But the warp is very quiet, It didn't sound like 3300.

With 260gram battery, it felt heavy at 2850.

YEP45 is rock solid. The GOV is amazing also.

It has a 6amp to 10 max bec ( information from HF )

I decided to try ikon gov. Never experienced a fbl gov yet.

Rob - I'm running the Lite version in mine with an external BEC.
