SURFACE ESC: MAMBA MONSTER X 25.2V ESC, 8A PEAK BEC
SURFACE ESC: MAMBA MONSTER X 25.2V ESC, 8A PEAK BEC
Mamba Monster X is a 1:8th scale and Monster truck controller capable of 2S - 6S LiPo, with an 8 amp peak BEC - and, it’s waterproof*, so you can run your vehicle through morning dew, across soggy snow, or a muddy trail. This is the perfect upgrade for 1:8 scale buggies, truggies and on-road vehicles as well as 1:10 scale monster trucks weighing up to 15 lbs. It also comes standard with a highly efficient, 30mm ESC cooling fan.
*Not intended for operation while submerged in liquid. If unit is operated in wet conditions, rinse with fresh water to remove dirt or corrosives, then fully dry unit.

| Product Use Statement: |
Max recommended vehicle weight is less than 15lbs, with batteries, ready-to-run with 2200kv motor; no more than 9lbs with 1800/2650kv motor. Although Mamba Monster X and Castle brushless motors are waterproof, they are not intended for operation while completely submerged in liquid. They can corrode when exposed to corrosive materials, such as salt water. Always rinse the ESC and motor with clean water after exposure to corrosives or dirt. While the motor and controller may be waterproof, we suggest users confirm that the rest of their vehicle, including the batteries, servos, radio and chassis are also waterproof before exposing them to liquids of any kind. |
| Tech Tips: |
Mamba Monster X setups frequently hit 100+ amps in peaks and not all LiPos are created equal. Surge ratings should never be used to determine a pack's suitability for a brushless application. Recommended battery capacity for 1:8th scale vehicles is 5000mAh. We recommend using 30C continuous discharge or higher LiPo batteries (or high quality 25C batteries such as Traxxas® Power Cell). Our experience suggests using only mild gear ratios with NiMH cells. Do not attempt to use NiMH cells in extreme setups. Applying voltages higher than 25.2V will cause irreparable damage to ESC. |
Additional Features:
|
Data-Logging: |
Mamba Monster X captures and records performance data from your last couple of runs, commonly referred to as data logging. This data can be downloaded via the Castle Link USB programmer; you can use the Quick Connect Duo (sold separately) to allow you to access both wires into a single Castle Link connection. You can then analyze this data and make adjustments to the ESC to maximize both performance and battery life. |
| Auxiliary Functionality: | The Mamba Monster X features the addition of a new, programmable AUX wire that allows you to make “on-the-go” adjustments to several settings such as torque control, and max throttle, and fine-tune the performance of your ESC right from the transmitter using an auxiliary channel on the receiver. The AUX wire function is disabled by default but is programmable via Castle Link or the Castle Link iOS App. Once you have programmed the functionality of the AUX wire, that setting can then be adjusted on-the-go from a compatible transmitter. |
| Programmability: | Fully programmable Castle feature set using Castle Link USB adapter (sold separately) and freely downloadable Castle Link Windows software or the Castle Link iOS App and a B-LINK Bluetooth Adapter (sold separately). (A small subset of the settings available through Castle Link Windows software can be accessed via manual programming through the transmitter stick). |
| Firmware Updates: | Users will receive free access to all firmware updates, including added features sets using the Castle Link USB Programming Kit or the Castle Link App and a B-Link Bluetooth Adapter. |
| Power System Alerts: | Audible alerts that will notify you of possible issues with calibrations and error conditions to help diagnose problems in the field. |
| Telemetry Ready: | Mamba Monster X is telemetry ready, which means owners of Futaba T4PX or 7PX Transmitters will be able to purchase the Castle Creations Telemetry Link for S.BUS2. Real-time data such as ESC temperature, voltages, and RPM can be monitored to ensure performance advantages and spare you the “unknown” parameters that all R/C enthusiasts experience at some point. Telemetry data provides another level of protection and can increase performance. |
