We packed as much brute power and intelligence into this tiny layout as we possibly could and came up with a 15 amp* controller with ability to sustain an 8 amp BEC! Talon 15 measures just 1.1" long and is under 0.6" wide! At nearly the size of a quarter, this ESC supports an outlandish 8 amp** peak BEC with output voltage of 5.5 VDC. Applications range from foamies to micro and sub-micro helis running up to 4S and pulling 15 amps. As with any Castle ESC, the Talon 15 offers Castle's industry-leading functions, not to mention easy programming using the Castle Link USB adapter (coupon for free Castle Link included), or the Castle Field Link Portable Programmer (sold separately).
Notes from Dave: This is a world beater ESC. Now we can run high voltages in our smaller models with a small tight ESC from a quality manufacturer. I'm very excited to put one of these in my 5S, 16 ounce Stick 400. Sweet!

*RC HOBBY APPLICATION RATING: 15 amps for the duration of a single 4,000 mAh battery pack with the ESC in contact with a 5 mph airflow of 25C (77F) or cooler air. Controller temperature must never exceed 100C (212F). Exceeding current or temperature ratings may damage components and may shorten the life of the ESC. Always verify system current draw at full-throttle. Decrease load or increase airflow to decrease the ESC's operating temperature.
**Peak indicates amperage sustainable for most servos' current draw transients. Always confirm servo current draw before the first flight of the model.
This compact controller can keep it's cool even during the most extreme 3D maneuvers. Talon 25 is intended for use in most 400-size helicopter setups running up to 6S LiPo or your favorite 3D foamy that pulls up to 25 amps. Despite it's size, it boasts an impressive 8 amp peak/3 amp continuous BEC, keeping even the most draining servos at ease. Talon 25 also offers Castle's industry-leading helicopter functions, not to mention easy programming using the Castle Link USB adapter (coupon for free Castle Link included). Talon 25 tips the scales at a mere 18 grams!

Sometimes you need to make a change in the programming of a Castle controller and you just don't happen to have a laptop in your man purse. What to do? There's always the old stick programming method that we all love to hate. Yes it works, but... there has to be a better way. Now there is Field Link!
Field Link allows you to modify the most commonly used settings in your Castle controller all at the touch of a single button. No computer needed (mostly). Simply connect the Field Link to the throttle lead of the controller and power the pair as described below. Click the button to scroll through and change the indicated settings. Can't get any easier! USB to computer link included.

The controllers are able to measure and record many parameters at sample rates that you choose between 10 samples per second and 1 sample per second.
Data points include: Battery Voltage, Battery Ripple, Battery Current, Controller Temperature, Motor RPM, Controller Input Throttle and Controller Motor Power Output.
Data is stored directly in the controller and may be accessed once the run is over using the Castle Link USB adapter (sold separately) and Castle Link software (available free at castlecreations.com). The Max Log Size is 21,504 bytes, everything takes one byte except for motor rpm which takes two.
Logging 'Battery Current' at 1 sample / second - 358 minutes of logging time (almost 6 hrs) Logging 'Motor RPM' at only 1 sample / second - 179 minutes of logging time Logging everything at only 1 sample / second - 44 minutes of logging time Logging everything at 10 samples / second - 4 minutes and 28 seconds

Experienced modelers go to great pains to tie down their servo and throttle leads, and some find unplugging a Castle controller from the RX disrupts all their work. Many have asked for something like a Y connector that gives an open lead for easy Castle linking, but a traditional Y harness doesn't work when the other branch of the Y is connected to an RX, the signal line must be disconnected from the RX.
Castle Quick Connect does just that. It detects the presence of a Castle Link adapter on the free lead and switches the controller's signal line from the RX to the Castle Link. Makes connecting your Castle Field Link or Castle Link a simple plug in afair with no removal of any of your gear from the model. Easy as that.

CC CapPack is useful in all brushless motor applications, where it serves to give just that little boost needed to overcome ripples in the battery voltage caused by hard acceleration or long battery wires. Remember, ripple voltage is hard on an ESC, adding the CC CapPack can help reduce the load on the controller's on-board capacitors.
Helis: CC CapPack is highly recommended for all 500 class and larger heli applications where Y harnesses and long wires can bleed voltage and hard collective pulls can strain even the most powerful batteries.
Cars/Trucks: With their high torque requirements - going from 0 to 100% throttle isn't easy on controllers or batteries - RC cars and trucks put enormous loads on brushless power systems. Use CC CapPack to help your system power through the abuse.
Aircraft: Larger electric power systems lead to larger electric powered aircraft, and sometimes the distance between the battery pack and the ESC grows beyond the length of the wires installed on the components. Adding wire also adds inductance, which can increase the ripple voltage in a system. CC CapPack essentially negates the ripple caused by the addition of up to 8 inches of length to the battery wires. CC CapPack is designed for quick and easy installation. Users simply cut the soft silicone insulation on the battery wires - do this as close to the ESC as possible - and place the exposed wires in the channels on CC CapPack's posts. Check for proper polarity and then solder the wires to the posts. Use the included heat shrink to finish it off for a professional looking install. Note: All Castle controllers with data logging capabilities can report the ripple voltage they encounter during use. Ripple voltage peaks should always be less than 10% of the total pack voltage; the smaller the ripple voltage the better. If an application exhibits more than 10% ripple voltage under peak loads, the user should consider using higher discharge (C Rating) batteries, shorter wires, higher current connectors, better gearing or a smaller load. Multiple CapPacks may be used in an application. They should all be installed as close to the ESC as possible.
