Drive fearlessly and punch that throttle! The MAMBA MONSTER X 8S utilizes Castle's breakthrough technology CRYO-DRIVE™.
By reducing the rate at which the ESC heats up and removing heat more
efficiently, your setup will be able to handle higher gear ratios, in
heavier vehicles, with longer runs. These software advancements work in
parallel with a unique open housing design to allow increased
directional airflow to cool critical components. With the integration of
a 40mm cooling fan and a forged elliptical fin heatsink, the design
maximizes airflow throughout the system, taking thermal performance to a
whole new level.
High-performance demands high quality and this ESC was designed with
durability in mind. Constructed around a robust aluminum casing, the
epoxy potting guarantees protection around the circuitry and ensures
all-weather use. Mamba Monster X 8S is a workhorse, it will dominate in
the harshest of environments.
You can easily optimize the ESC for any driving condition, from
rugged terrain to smooth pavement to the perils of rock and gravel.
Create, save and download setup profiles through the Castle Link
Programming Suite on your Windows™ PC, or wirelessly with the convenience of the new B-Link™ Bluetooth™ Adapter and Castle Link app for Android or iOS.
Additional tuning flexibility awaits you with on-the-fly adjustments
from your transmitter via the Auxiliary wire. Simply connect the white
signal wire to an open radio channel, and enable the feature in Castle
Link by selecting what Auxiliary function you would like to use. Access
programming parameters such as Torque Control, Max Brake or Rock Race
Mode. Optimize your vehicle for any racing or bashing application you
can imagine!
When paired with the newly released Castle 1717-1260KV, users with
heavy, high speed rigs will experience controllable low-end ranges
without sacrificing power, punch or speed. SmartSense™ mode
uses the motor's sensors to start the motor to provide smooth starts,
excellent torque, and low-speed drivability. Once the motor is spinning,
it seamlessly transitions to Castle's ultra-efficient sensorless mode.
You'll put more power to the ground, where it should be, instead of
wasting it through raw heat and RPMs.
Whether you are burning out, dropping the hammer, trigger happy,
powering out, on-the rocks, off-the-rocks, wheeling or mud bogging -
MAMBA MONSTER X 8S is ready to test the limits of your R/C car or truck.
