Description

Engineered from the ground up, the Mamba XLX2 ESC is packed with a potent combination of hardware and software advancements, sensored performance, CRYO- DRIVE and waterproof design that will set a new standard for high performance power systems for large-scale RC vehicles. CRYO-DRIVE, Castle’s proprietary breakthrough technology integrates unique software and dedicated hardware to reduce heat and dramatically increase performance. Thousands of times per second, the XLX2 software minimizes the amount of time the electrical components spend generating heat. These software advancements work in parallel with an open housing design which enables increased directional airflow to cool critical components. With the combination of a new 50mm fan and forged elliptical fin heatsink, the XLX2 maximizes airflow throughout the system, taking thermal performance to a whole new level. The results are more power handling, cooler ESC temperatures and longer runtimes and for ultra-high performance. 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 Max Throttle. Pairing the Mamba XLX2 with the Castle 4-POLE 12-SLOT SENSORED 2028-1100KV will allow heavy, high speed rigs to 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. Please refer to the Mamba XLX2 Product Use Statements (in document section) for information regarding calibration, input voltage, minimum battery requirements, wiring, soldering, connectors and more. It is critical that all relevant components in your system be able to support the incredible power handling and performance of the XLX2.

  • Amazing
If you want to make your rc go way too fast buy this

  • Buyer beware! When they work they work great. When they don't, they can explode!
I have purchased three of these combos from various locations. The first was purchased from my local hobby shop. The rest were purchased here on Amazon. I stnstalled the first combo in my Traxxas Xmaxx. It was installed using all the recommended connectors(QS8) and gears that are listed on Castle Creations website for my vehicle. Yes, I have been soldering and installing ESC's for years now so experience not an issue here. After installation the ESC violently exploded during initial bench testing, no more than quarter throttle. Don't make the same mistake I made by testing these indoors, it could burn your house down or at the very least leave a burn smell that lasts for days. Since the combo was purchased from an actual hobby shop I had to go through the warranty replacement process from the manufacturer. Castle Creations does not allow hobby shops to provide customers any type of service or replacement, period. The warranty process is pretty straightforward and be sure to keep original receipt and you will have to take photos of the item and you have to send in the faulty item before they will send out the replacement. While I waited for a warranty replacement(can take weeks) on the first combo i ordered another combo from here. That ESC died within a few seconds in the same way but less violently. That combo was returned. The third combo I purchased from another online retailer has been working great, better than I expected. Also, the warranty replacement I received from Castle Creations has also been fantastic so far. Basically, two out of the three combos were faulty, that is a terrible ratio. I don't blame the retailers at all, this is clearly a manufacturing issue straight from the factory. Even though Castle Creations did send out new firmware last year that was suppose to fix this problem brand new units with the current firmware keep blowing up for no reason. I gave a one star rating because the combo I purchased here was faulty but I was conflicted since the other combo I purchased from a different retailer is so good. When they work they are incredible but when they don't, they explode. My advice, keep a fire extinguisher nearby when testing it until you feel that you are one of the lucky customers that bought a good one. ... show more

Warning, warning to stay away from castle creations products started smoking within the first couple runs melted my wires and almost caught fire

  • Unbalanced Motor
The motor came unbalanced right from the get go. When processing a return and swap for a new product I was charged a restocking fee. Stating after the fact it needed to be handled under warranty from Castle directly. Not a bash on castle by any means, just how these issues have to be handled sees more on the consumer than the vendor. ... show more

This esc motor combo is awsome.

  • Power like you cant magine.
Wanna up your xmaxx to super maxx? Then this will do the trick. There's nothing like adding a nearly pop can sized motor to your RC and sending it to the moon. It does add weight to you RC, so you might wanna think about shocks, and Differential upgrades. I got the blue tooth link to the ESC and I absolutely love the tuning options. It's crazy. Really happy with my purchase. ... show more
