Advisory applies only to: PHOENIX ICE HV 120
Castle engineers have determined that the performance specifications of certain electronic components used in the Phoenix Ice HV 120 ESCs may have changed between production runs. ESCs built using the out-of-specification components are more susceptible to failure when used with some combinations of motor and battery; and then only in certain applications. Fewer than 3% of the Phoenix Ice HV 120s produced to date have been returned for service of any kind.
Our engineering staff has been working with one of our component suppliers to design and manufacture a custom component that is much more tolerant of the loads encountered with today's batteries and motors. Phoenix Ice HV 120 controllers modified to use samples of those new components performed flawlessly in extreme applications where the Ice HV 120s built with the current component failed. We are confident that this modification will make the Ice HV 120 controller a much more durable ESC – one worthy of the Castle name.
