Product Overview

The Mamba Micro X2 is a refresh of our popular 1:18 scale Mamba Micro X. This new ESC increases the maximum input voltage to 4s. We also added DATA LOGGING and our CRYO-DRIVE TECHNOLOGY; CryoDrive allows the ESC to run cooler and more efficiently at partial throttle. Like its predecessor, it boasts an 2 amp peak BEC,waterproof* and has SENSORED MOTOR SUPPORT (included 0808 is sensorless).

This is the perfect upgrade for 1:18 scale RC vehicles, up to 3S LiPo and weighing in at up to 2.25lbs. Vehicles include: Traxxas Slash 4x4 1/16th, Losi Mini-T 2.0, Traxxas LaTrax Rally, Traxxas LaTrax Teton, Axial Yeti Jr.

The Mamba Micro X also works well in some 1:10th scale crawlers for low speed operation (no rock racing/hill climbing). You can now purchase the Mamba Micro X2 Crawler Edition ESC paired with our Slate Crawler motors.

Enabled by default, the Mamba Micro X2 captures and records performance data from your vehicle. This allows you to view a detailed turn-by-turn record of what your ESC actually experienced during the run. You will be able to record real-time data such as motor RPM, ESC and motor temperature, throttle input, and more. Download and analyze the collected data via Castle Link and make adjustments to maximize both performance and battery life.

Quick Tip: You can use the Quick Connect Duo (sold separately) to allow you to access both wires into a single Castle Link connection.

 
The Mamba Micro X2 allows "on-the-fly" adjustments to be made through the AUX wire once enabled in Castle Link. Once you have selected an AUX wire function, that setting can then be tuned from your transmitter while driving. Torque control, max throttle, max brake and drag brake adjustments are a sampling of the available modes. This real-time tuning allows you to quickly and easily fine-tune your system.
 
The Castle Link Programming Suite is your ticket to creating the perfect setup. To gain access to the host of tuning parameters, simply use the Castle Link adapter with your Mamba Micro X2 purchase and download the simple to install software from the Castle Creations website and you are ready to personalize your controller's settings. You can wirelessly program your ESC with the Castle Link Mobile App and the purchase the B-Link Bluetooth Adapter.
 
Users will receive free access to all firmware updates, including added features sets using the Castle Link USB Programming Kit or the Castle Link App and a B-Link Bluetooth Adapter.
 
Mamba Micro X2 is telemetry ready, which means owners of Futaba T4PX or 7PX Transmitters will be able to purchase the Castle Creations Telemetry Link for S.BUS2. Real-time data such as ESC temperature, voltages, and RPM can be monitored to ensure performance advantages and spare you the "unknown" parameters that all R/C enthusiasts experience at some point. Telemetry data provides another level of protection and can increase performance.
 
Audible Alerts that will notify you of possible issues with calibrations and error conditions to help diagnose problems in the field.
