Mamba Monster X 8S = MORE POWER – COOLER TEMPS – LONGER RUNS. The Castle Creations Mamba Monster X 8S 1/6 Brushless ESC features CRYO-DRIVET – Castle’s latest break-through technology. CRYO-DRIVE minimizes the amount of time the ESC’s electrical components spend generating heat. This proprietary software advancement works in parallel with a unique open housing design. And a forged elliptical fin heatsink to allow increased directional airflow to cool critical components. Combine this with a high speed 40mm fan and you have a design that maximizes airflow through the system, taking thermal performance to the next level. Mamba Monster X 8S is designed for 1/6 scale vehicles weighing up to 25 lbs. With up to 8S LiPo. Compatible models include the TraxxasT X-Maxx & Unlimited Desert Racer; ArrmaT Kraton 8s & Limitless; LosiT Super Rock Rey & Audi R8; RedcatT Shredder. Input voltage range 2S-8S LiPo. Sensored, Sensorless and SmartSenseT running modes. Powerful Integrated 8A Peak Adjustable BEC (5.25V-8.0V). Premium forged heatsink with elliptical fins for superior airflow and increased heat dissipation. Oversized factory equipped thermally controlled 40mm fan? Waterproof design for all weather conditions. ESC is housed in a rugged CNC aluminum case and potted in waterproof epoxy to protect the components and promote efficient heat transfer. Data-logging capability to capture and record performance data from your vehicle. Auxiliary wire functionality for “on the-fly” adjustments using your transmitter. Audible alerts for easy diagnosis of possible issues such as motor over-temperature and low voltage cutoff. Convenient transmitter programming for six adjustable settings such as cutoff voltage and drag brake. Easily tune and update ESC with USB and BluetoothT programming options. Recommended battery capacity for 1:6 scale vehicles is 5000mah. Castle recommends using 50C continuous discharge or higher LiPo batteries. Surge ratings should never be used to determine a pack’s suitability for a brushless application. Castle recommends a high current connector designed for high-powered electric systems, rated for 100+ 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. Although Mamba Monster X 8S is waterproof, it is not intended for operation while completely submerged in liquid. Always rinse the ESC with clean water after exposure to corrosives or dirt. The cooling fan must be removed prior to driving in wet conditions. It is not waterproof.
