The Castle Link Quick Connect allows you to program your Holmes Hobbies or Castle Creations ESC via USB without having to unplug it from your receiver.
Experienced modelers go to great pains to tie down their servo and throttle leads, and some find unplugging a Castle controller from the receiver 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 a receiver - the signal line must be disconnected from the receiver.
Quick Connect detects the presence of a Castle Link adapter on the free lead and switches the controller's signal line from the receiver to the Castle Link.
The Quick Connect is recommended for the following ESCs:
Surface - Sidewinder v1/2/3/SCT, Sidewinder Micro, Sidewinder Micro 2, Mamba Micro Pro, Mamba Max, Mamba Max Pro, Mamba Monster, Mamba Monster 2.
Air - Phoenix ICE, Phoenix ICE HV, Thunderbird, Phoenix, Phoenix HV.Note: If you have Castle ESCs with AUX wires or an on-board 6+ amp BEC you must use Quick Connect Duo.
Note: Neither Quick Connect, nor Quick Connect Duo will work with the Field Programming Cards when used as a standalone programmer. It will ONLY work when using the Field Programming Card as a Castle Link adapter.
