Team Cayote Crest RS 120 Speed Controller

Following on from the recent release of their Modi Motor, Team Cayote has released its all new Crest RS 120 Speed Controller.  Weighing in at just 36 grams, the super light ESC offers an impressive maximum continuous output current of 120A at an astonishing size and weight.  Measuring 35.3mm (L) x 30.5mm (W) x 24.5mm (H), it features ultra-thin, windowed cooling N-MOS technology, and integrates the chip core directly with the metal housing, reducing thermal resistance by 35% compared to traditional MOSFETs.  This results in higher current output while maintaining 98% efficiency and significantly reducing overall thickness within the same volume.  Its thinner profile and lower operating temperature transforms the space saved by eliminating heat sinks into enhanced performance, ensuring exceptional results.  Fitted with multiple protection features these include Battery Low Voltage Control,  ESC/Motor Limits and Anti-Stall Protection which enhances reliability, and built-in Reverse Polarity Protection.  The ESC has adjustable RPM Limiting in the range from 10K to 88K RPM, with adjustable RPM limit increments of 1K RPM. RPM adjustments can be made easily through our BT-link and APP control.

With built-in offline data recording, users can track ESC performance and analyze key metrics to improve their driving strategy. This function allows racers to make precise adjustments based on real-time data, helping to optimize power output and battery usage. By reviewing recorded performance metrics using the Cayote Xlink or BT-Link connection systems (CACPB01 – sold separately), Cayote APP users can fine-tune their setup for consistent and reliable results.  The ESC enables independent adjustment for drag brake and brake frequencies (0.5K-16K, in 0.5K increments) allowing precise control without interference between the two functions.  Lower Brake Frequency enhances braking performance by fine-tuning with 0.5K increments for smoother, more precise adjustments, adapting to various grip levels.  The Crest RS 120 is equipped with a super high-speed fan system, providing greater airflow compared to normal systems. The CNC-cut alloy frame is more durable and resistant to damage from impacts, increasing reliable cooling and enabling longer-lasting performance.
