VERSATILITY, DEPENDABILITY, AND PERFORMANCE In designing a new ESC for today's RC enthusiasts, Castle prioritized three key principles: VERSATILITY, DEPENDABILITY, and PERFORMANCE. These principles form the foundation of the Mamba X design and drive the feature-rich controller.
The Mamba X offers exceptional versatility, capable of powering a wide range of applications, from 2S to 6S, and vehicles spanning from 1/10th scale to 1/8th scale*. Whether you're racing a 2wd buggy at the track, tearing through mud puddles with your SCT or monster truck, or embarking on a hardcore crawling adventure, this controller sets new standards. Pair it with a Castle 4-POLE 12-SLOT SENSORED MOTOR for precise throttle control and smooth starts!
ESCs lead a rugged life – enduring extreme jumps, accidental collisions, and occasional puddles. Castle's engineers, fellow RC enthusiasts, designed the Mamba X to thrive in these situations and power through them. It's encased in a robust CNC-machined aluminum housing, sealed with waterproof epoxy. This not only safeguards the electronics but also facilitates efficient heat dissipation.
The Mamba X integrates a robust 8A adjustable BEC into a high-performance speed controller capable of handling the most demanding 1/10th scale setups and 1/8th race buggies. Smart-Sense™ delivers seamless, cog-free, and predictable sensored starts, while improved throttle response keeps you ahead of the competition.
Proudly designed and manufactured in Olathe, Kansas, the Mamba X comes with Castle Creations' 1-year warranty and unparalleled 'make-it-right' customer support. You can call, email, or visit us in person – we're here to assist.
