Hydra XLX2 8S Brushless Marine ESC

The Castle Creations Hydra XLX2 8S Brushless Marine ESC brings the legendary XLX2 platform to the boat market. Using the XLX2 ESC as a starting point Castle Creations was able to add a massive water cooled heatsink to soak up outrageous amounts of power. Integrated to this heatsink are two aluminum water fittings for 1/8" tubing and uses standard 10-32 UNF threads (includes optional .17" fittings). This cooling capability allows the Hydra XLX2 to use up to 8s LiPo power on the water and utilize a built in 20 amp adjustable BEC! The Hydra XLX2 uses CRYO-DRIVE technology which minimizes the amount of time the ESC’s electrical components spend generating heat, resulting in improved thermal performance during partial throttle operation where the majority of driving occurs. The Hydra XLX2 software is able to monitor and adjust this thousands of times per second making this one of the most efficient systems at managing heat. COOLER TEMPS mean LONGER RUNS and MORE POWER! Castle Creations has also given you the ability to easily optimize the ESC for any running conditions. Create, save and download setup profiles through the Castle Link Programming Suite on your Windows PC, or wirelessly with the convenience of the B-Link Bluetooth Adapter and Castle Link app for Android or iOS. Additional tuning can be made with the on-the-fly adjustments from your transmitter via the Auxiliary wire. Simply connect the white signal wire to an open radio channel, and enable the feature in Castle Link by selecting what Auxiliary function you would like to use. Access programming parameters such as Torque Control, Max Brake or Max Throttle.
