Castle X Series Drivers Ed Guide

The AUX signal has fixed endpoints of 1.1ms and 1.9ms, so there’s no need to calibrate anything to use the AUX wire. If the AUX
wire becomes disconnected from the receiver, the ESC will use the value selected in Castle Link instead.
Max Throttle Adjustment
The ESC’s maximum power is scaled from 10% to 100% depending on the signal received on the AUX wire. Perfect for passing the
controls to children, neighbors, or your boss.
Max Reverse Adjustment
The ESC’s maximum reverse power is scaled from 10% to 100% depending on the signal received on the AUX wire.
Max Brake Adjustment
The ESC’s maximum braking power is scaled from 10% to 100% depending on the signal received on the AUX wire.
Drag Brake Adjustment
The ESC’s drag brake setting is scaled from 0% to full brake depending on the signal received on the AUX wire.
Reverse Enable/Disable (Only works in modes with reverse)
Reversing is disabled when the controller receives an AUX wire signal above 50% (>1.5ms). When the controller receives an AUX
wire signal below 50% (<1.5ms) or if the AUX wire is disconnected, reverse capability is enabled.
Torque Control Adjustment
The ESC’s torque control setting is scaled from 0.1 to 5.0 depending on the signal received on the AUX wire. Torque control is
disabled when the input exceeds 1.9ms. Great for finding the perfect torque control setting for your track and tires.
Motor test must be performed before using this setting.
Datalog Erase Enable
When the vehicle is stopped, toggling the AUX signal for a few seconds will erase the datalog. The motor will emit a long beep to
indicate the log was erased. This feature can be added to any of the other AUX wire modes by checking the Idle Datalog Erase
box in Castle Link.
TUNING WITH CASTLE LINK
™
All Castle ESCs may be connected to your PC using the Castle Link USB adapter. The Castle Link software will give you access to a
whole new world of tuning options. You may use Castle Link to tune your throttle and brake curves, set your drag brake feel, and
use the incredible Torque Limit to keep the front end of your car on the ground with all the power you have at your command. As
new software becomes available, you can install it in your Castle ESC for new and updated features. All of this ensures your Castle
ESC will be the best that it can be.
Castle Link Quick Connect
Experienced modelers go to great lengths to tie down their servo and throttle leads - and some find that unplugging a Castle
controller from the receiver disrupts all their work. The Castle Link Quick Connect allows you to connect the Castle Link USB
adapter without removing wires from your receiver. Visit www.castlecreations.com/quickconnect to purchase online.
Using Castle Link
Disconnect the RX (Orange/Red/Brown) wire from your receiver and connect it to the Castle Link USB adapter. Castle ESCs may
also be programmed using your transmitter and receiver (see Transmitter Programming, page 7), or a Field Link Programming Card
(see Field Link Programming Card, page 6).
If your ESC has a 3-wire AUX connection (White/Red/Brown) you MUST disconnect it prior to connecting your ESC to
the Castle Link USB adapter. Failure to disconnect a 3-wire AUX connection from the receiver may result in damage to the Castle
Link USB adapter.

PROGRAMMING CARD
You can use a Field Link programming card to easily change many settings at the field without your PC, or it will function as a
Castle Link adapter when you do have a PC available. For more information visit www.castlecreations.com/fieldlink.
