{"product_id":"hydra-x-8s-33-6v-esc-8a-peak-bec","title":"Hydra X 8S, 33.6V ESC, 8A Peak BEC","description":"The HYDRA X 8S is based on Castle's popular and powerful Mamba Monster X 8S. They've removed the air cooled heatsink and added a water-cooled heatsink. An aluminum top plate gives it a sleek and polished appearance. Attached to the top plate are two .17\" aluminum water fittings using standard 10-32 UNF threads. The HYDRA X 8S is the ultimate ESC upgrade that propels high-performance monohulls, up to 36 inches in length, to new heights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCRYO-DRIVE - Castle's proprietary breakthrough technology, integrates unique software to reduce heat and dramatically increase performance. Thousands of times per second, the Hydra X 8S software minimizes the amount of time the electrical components spend generating heat. The results are more power handling, cooler ESC temperatures and longer runtimes and ultra-high performance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith its easy to dial in ESC settings you can update the ESC firmware and view data logs with a Castle Link USB programming kit (coupon for USB adapter included with purchase) and a Windows PC, or wirelessly with the convenience of the new B-Link Bluetooth Adapter and Castle Link app for Android or iOS. Additional tuning flexibility is available with on-the-fly adjustments from a compatible transmitter via the Auxiliary wire. It's as easy as connecting the white signal wire to an open radio channel and enabling the feature in Castle Link by selecting what Auxiliary function is preferred.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cdetails open=\"\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003cb\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHydra X 8S ESC with water fittings for 1\/8\" tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCastle Creations Decals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoupon for free Castle Link USB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHydra X 8S Quick Start Guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cdetails open=\"\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003cb\u003eRequired to Complete:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe Hydra X 8S requires the use of connectors designed for high-powered electric systems, rated for 120+ amps, such as Castle CC Bullet 6.5mm, CC Bullet 8.0mm, or 6.5mm Polarized Castle Connectors, soldered to the battery leads.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cdetails open=\"\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput Voltage Range 2S-8S LiPo (33.6V max)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensorless, Sensored Only, SmartSense and Brushed Running Modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowerful Integrated 8A Peak Adjustable BEC (5.5V8.0V)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCRYO-DRIVE Technology 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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eESC is housed in a rugged CNC aluminum case and potted in waterproof epoxy to protect the electronics and promote efficient heat transfer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eData logging capability to capture and record performance data from your vessel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuxiliary wire functionality for \"on-the-fly\" adjustments using your transmitter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudible alerts for easy diagnosis of common issues such as motor-over-temperature and low-voltage cutoff\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConvenient transmitter programming for six common adjustable settings including cutoff voltage and drag brake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCastle Link USB programming kit (coupon included with purchase)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachined water-cooled heatsink with .17\" water fittings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTelemetry Compatible with S.BUS2 Telemetry Link and Futaba T4PX, T7PX and T7PXR transmitters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional smartphone-based programming with the B-LINK Bluetooth Adapter (sold separately) and Castle Link app available on Google Play or Apple App Store.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProudly designed and manufactured in Olathe, KS USA and backed by Castle Creations' 1-year warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cdetails open=\"\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplication Guidelines: RC Hobby boats up to 36\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput Voltage Range: MIN: 2S LiPo, MAX: 8S LiPo (33.6V)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRunning Modes: Sensorless, Brushed, Sensored Only, and SmartSense when paired with a Sensored Motor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater Cooling Fittings: Two .17\" fittings.
