Introducing the Mamba Monster X 8S, where no R/C vehicle weighing up to 25lbs and running up to 8S LiPo is off-limits. Get ready to unleash your power and push that throttle to the limit! This ESC incorporates Castle's groundbreaking CRYO-DRIVE™ technology, which efficiently manages heat generation, enabling your setup to handle higher gear ratios, heavier vehicles, and longer runs. The unique open housing design and software advancements promote enhanced directional airflow, keeping critical components cool. With a 40mm cooling fan and a forged elliptical fin heatsink, this ESC takes thermal performance to new heights.
Durability is paramount in high-performance applications, and the Mamba Monster X 8S excels in this area. Its robust aluminum casing and epoxy potting provide protection and weather resistance for all-season use. Built to dominate in the harshest environments, this ESC is a true workhorse.
Tailor your ESC to any driving condition, whether it's rough terrain, smooth pavement, or challenging rock and gravel tracks. Create, save, and download setup profiles effortlessly using the Castle Link Programming Suite on your Windows PC. Alternatively, take advantage of the convenience of the new B-Link Bluetooth Adapter and Castle Link app for Android or iOS for wireless programming.
The Auxiliary wire offers additional tuning flexibility, allowing on-the-fly adjustments from your transmitter. By connecting the white signal wire to an open radio channel and enabling the feature in Castle Link, you gain access to programming parameters such as Torque Control, Max Brake, or Rock Race Mode. Optimize your vehicle for any racing or bashing application that sparks your imagination.
When combined with a Castle 4-POLE 12-SLOT SENSORED MOTOR like the 2028-800KV or 1515-2200KV, heavy and high-speed rigs benefit from controllable low-end ranges without compromising power, punch, or speed. SmartSense™ mode utilizes the motor's sensors for smooth starts, excellent torque, and low-speed drivability. As the motor spins, it seamlessly transitions to Castle's highly efficient sensorless mode, delivering power directly to the ground rather than dissipating it as excess heat and RPM.
Whether you're burning rubber, unleashing raw power, or conquering challenging terrains like rocks, mud, or off-road trails, the Mamba Monster X 8S is ready to push the limits of your R/C car or truck.

Product Use Statements:
• Recommended battery capacity for 1:6th scale vehicles is 5000mah. We recommend using 50C continuous discharge or higher
LiPo batteries.
• Surge ratings should never be used to determine a pack’s suitability for a brushless application.
• We recommend a high current connector designed for high-powered electric systems, rated for 120+ amps, such as Castle CC Bullet
6.5mm, CC Bullet 8.0mm, or 6.5mm Polarized Castle Connectors.
• Applying voltages higher than 33.6V will cause irreparable damage to ESC; DO NOT RUN HV CELLS (above 4.2v/cell) WHEN RUNNING
