Choose from Castle Creations MAMBA X 010-0155-00 Sensored 25.2V 2-6S Waterproof ESC 8A BEC Datalogging or
Bluetooth Programmer 011-0135-00.
The
Castle Creations Mamba X is going to shake things up. Extremely
versatile, and capable of powering a wide variety of applications and
vehicles* the
Mamba X is ideal for racing at the track with your 2wd buggy, bashing
through mud puddles in your monster truck, or navigating a hardcore
trail with your crawler. The Mamba X raises the bar.
ESCs
have a tough life, huge jumps, accidental collisions, and splashing
through puddles. Castle engineers understand this and designed the Mamba
X to endure these situations and power through them. It is housed in a
rugged CNC-machined aluminum case and then potted in waterproof epoxy.
This not only protects the electronics but ensures any heat generated in
the controller can easily be dissipated through the case.
The
high performance Mamba X includes an integrated and powerful 8A
adjustable BEC and can push the most extreme 1/10th scale setups and
1/8th scale* race
buggies. SmartSense allows you to take advantage of smooth, cog-free,
and predictable sensored starts, and Castle’s new and improved throttle
response keeps you ahead of the competition.
*In
1/8th scale setups, the Mamba X is intended to be used for off-road
racing in buggies weighing up to 9 lbs (including batteries and
ready-to-run). In these 1/8th scale racing setups, the Mamba X should be
run at 4S Lipo (16.8V) max and is recommended to be paired with the
Castle 1512-1800Kv (P/N: 060-0062-00) or Castle 1515-2200kv (P/N:
060-0063-00) motor, with appropriate gearing only.

In Depth Features:
- SMARTSENSE™: Enabled
by default, the Mamba X uses the motor’s sensors to provide smooth
starts, excellent torque, and low-speed drivability. Once the motor is
turning, it seamlessly transitions to Castle’s ULTRA-EFFICIENT
sensorless mode with electronic timing. When running, a motor must
transition between different load points and a different timing advance
is required for optimal efficiency at each. Electronic timing in
SMARTSENSE™ will advance timing automatically for peak performance
during all driving conditions. This combines the best of both worlds in
an unrivaled HYBRID between smooth sensored startups and high-efficiency
sensorless running. Your motor will produce more power and less heat.
- AUXILIARY WIRE FUNCTIONALITY: The
Mamba X allows “on-the-fly” adjustments to be made through the AUX wire
once enabled in Castle Link. Once you have selected an AUX wire
function, that setting can then be tuned from your transmitter while
driving. Torque control, max throttle, max brake and drag brake
adjustments are a sampling of the available modes. This real-time tuning
allows you to quickly and easily fine-tune your system.
- DATALOGGING: Enabled
by default, the Mamba X captures and records performance data from your
vehicle. This allows you to view a detailed turn-by-turn record of what
your ESC actually experienced during the run. You will be able to
record real-time data such as motor RPM, battery current and voltage,
ESC and motor temperature, throttle input, and more. Download and
analyze the collected data via Castle Link and make adjustments to
maximize both performance and battery life.
- CASTLE LINK™: For
nearly 20 years Castle engineers have been setting the bar for industry
leading software functionality. The Castle Link Programming Suite is
your ticket to creating the perfect setup. To gain access to the host of
tuning parameters, simply redeem the coupon for the Castle Link adapter
included with your Mamba X purchase. Download the simple to install
software from the Castle website and you are ready to personalize your
controller’s parameters. Don’t forget to use the “check for updates”
feature in Castle Link to download the latest software as it becomes
available. New features are yours at no cost, a perk for choosing
Castle.

Product Use Statements:
- *Although
Mamba X is waterproof, it is not intended for operation while
completely submerged in liquid. Always rinse the ESC and motor with
clean water after exposure to corrosives or dirt. While the motor and
controller may be waterproof, Castle suggests 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 Notes:
- Mamba
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 1:10th and 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.
- We
recommend a high-current connector designed for high-powered electric
systems, rated for 70+ amps. Invest in connector sets made for
high-powered electric systems such as our Castle 6.5mm Polarized
Connectors, Castle 4.0mm Polarized Connectors, Traxxas® Power
Connectors, or Deans® Ultra Plugs
