AlignTrex 470LP ESC

[thomascoleman]

Just about to start my build

The stock esc RCE-BL50X seems like a pain to program and adjust headspeed

I would much prefer a castle like all my other heli's and it's easy rpm programming

Anyone else running a castle on this bird ? If so what castle model ?

I'm looking at the 75amp version either lite, normal - not sure if the correct hearing information and setup is public for castles on the 470 yet ?

I put a HW50 in mine for the sole reason I wanted to use Brain gov. The stock ESC doesn't have a RPM output. Internal ESC gov is easy too if you don't want to use FBL gov.

Guess I could use the beast x electronic gov

The CcEdge50 will do the job... and if u plan to use external gov, it has the rpm wire out..

Castle CC 50 is only 50AMP, stock peaks to 70 so most likely would need the CC 75+

Nah. 50 is plenty. Stock esc is 50A. Motor peaks are not all that important. ESCs have peak ratings too.

im not seeing on the CC50 what the peak is

Castle generally can handle 2x their nominal power... 50A constant, 100A peak...

The #1 choice for this size heli (360/380) is 50-60A ESC.

Put a 60a hw v4 on my 470. Fits much better than stock and much easier to program. The fitment was the worst part of the stock esc.
