Default RE: Castle Ice HV 80 II


ORIGINAL: Anthony-RCU

Ran my 30-09 at much higher power levels on an Ice 80hv light with no issues. Internal temps will be very telling. After over 100 flights internal temps started to get high in summer so I switched to a standard 80hv and never thought about it again.

For th op do check the motor. I had an Axi 5330 that ran perfect but would eat an esc in very few flights. Had an identical set up in another plane that went for hundreds of flights. Hobby Lobby replaced the motor without every saying why.

Very helpful
Well, I've got 26 flights on it thus far and it hasn't eaten anything yet!

Seems like a totally sweet set-up. I will recharge 1 or 2 of the batteries from the "contest" flights to see how many mAh's were used. At least that will be some useful data.
