TALON 60 , 6S / 25.2V, 60 AMP ESC WITH 20 AMP BEC
Product #: 010-0163-00
The Talon 60 is well suited for SMALL SCALE OR AEROBATIC HELIS ranging from 360-450 size requiring up to 1400 watts on 6S. This ESC offers Castle’s industry-leading helicopter functions, such as the remarkable direct entry governor mode. Simply type in the desired RPM using a Castle Link USB adapter (redeemable coupon enclosed with purchase) and the free Castle Link Programming Suite running on a Windows ™ PC.
The compact layout and slim profile of the Talon 60 is also perfect for SCALE, SPORT and AEROBATIC PLANES in the .32 - .60 range requiring up to 1400 watts on 6S. Mounting the Talon 60 is simple and stress-free in any setup.
CASTLE-LINK™
For nearly 20 years Castle engineers have been setting the bar for industry leading software functionality. The Castle Link Programming Suite is the ticket to creating the perfect setup. Gaining access to the host of tuning parameters, including free firmware updates and added feature sets, requires only the Castle Link USB adapter (redeemable coupon enclosed with purchase) and the free Castle Link software on your Windows ™ PC. Users can then fine tune many variables to enhance their level of expertise.
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.
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 (Item # 010-0152-00) and compatible Futaba Radio or Castle Telemetry Link for X-BUS (Item# 010-0148-00) and a compatible Spektrum Radio.

*RC HOBBY APPLICATION RATING: 60 amps for the duration of a single10,000 mAh battery pack with the ESC in contact with a 5 mph airflow of25C (77F) or cooler air. Controller temperature must never exceed 100C(212F). Exceeding current or temperature ratings may damage componentsand may shorten the life of the ESC. Always verify system current drawat full-throttle. Decrease load or increase airflow to decrease theESC’s operating temperature.
**Peak indicates amperage sustainable for 0.5 seconds - long enough for most servos' current draw transients. Always confirm servo servo current draw before the first flight of the model.
This is a high power product with the potential to be very dangerous.Please read the safety information before use. This product may containchemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and or birthdefects or other reproductive harm.
