SURFACE ESC, MOTOR COMBO: MONSTER X 25.2V ESC, 8A PEAK BEC w/ 1512-2650KV V2 SENSORED MOTOR
Our Mamba Monster X ESC and 1512-2650Kv V2 are paired together and perform incredibly in 1/8th buggies and on-road cars weighing up to 9lbs and up to 4s LiPo. You will have all the power your 1:8th scale vehicle demands with the smoother throttle control of a sensored motor. Mamba Monster X takes Castle’s legendary “monster” performance to a whole new level.
New 1512-2650Kv V2 motor now included! Our commitment to excellence drives us to refine the user experience, optimize performance, and ensure that every aspect of our products are meticulously designed to provide the utmost satisfaction. Let's face it, even the best products have room for refinement, which is why we are excited to introduce the newly redesigned 1512-2650Kv V2, a new spin on one of the most popular motors we've ever produced! The transformation has included several improvements, most contributed by new stator and rotor assembly upgrades that, in turn, allow for even HIGHER EFFICIENCY, REDUCED TEMPERATURES, AND SMOOTHER START-UPS!

| Product Use Statement: |
*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. **The cooling fan must be removed prior to driving in wet conditions. It is not waterproof. |

| Tech Tips: |
Running modes: SMARTSENSE™, Sensored, Sensorless with Castle sensored capable ESCs. The 011-0131-00 Rotor Replacement is NOT compatible with the V2 motor. A new rotor replacement will be available in the future. Check back here for updates. Water Resistant Design: The sensor board is coated with silicone conformal coating to protect the sensors from moisture. The sensor connections are not water resistant; water can cause signal loss which could result in loss of sensored capabilities. Castle recommends applying dielectric grease to the outside of the sensor wire connections after installation of the wire. Routine maintenance is recommended after running in wet conditions. Please refer to instructions for running and maintaining motors in wet environments. |
Additional Features:
| Data-Logging: | Mamba Monster X can capture and record 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: |
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. Click here for additional information. |
| 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. |
| 1512-2650Kv Motor: | Our IMPROVED 4-POLE 12-SLOT sensored design boasts exceptional EFFICIENCY and produces LESS HEAT. |
| 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 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. |
