Castle Creations - MAMBA X Sensored 25.2V WP ESC 1406-7700KV Combo

ON ROAD 1406-7700Kv COMBO APPLICATION Perfect combo for 1/10th scale vehicles weighing less than 4lbs. Suggested applications are 1/10th scale touring cars 2WD buggies on 2s LiPo. It is not recommended for 2WD or 4WD short course trucks. Please refer to our Surface Product Selector for recommended motor, battery and gearing for some of the more popular vehicles on the market. VERSATILITY, RELIABILITY AND PERFORMANCE. We at Castle wanted to address three main concepts while designing a new ESC for the modern-day RC enthusiast; VERSATILITY, RELIABILITY, and PERFORMANCE. These are the pillars of the Mamba X design and the driving forces behind the feature-packed controller. The Mamba X is extremely versatile, capable of powering a wide variety of applications ranging from 2S to 6S and vehicles ranging from 1/10th scale to 1/8th scale*. Whether you are racing at the track with your 2wd buggy, bashing through mud puddles in your SCT or monster truck, or navigating a hardcore crawling excursion, this controller raises the bar to a whole new level. Pair with a Castle 4-POLE 12-SLOT SENSORED MOTOR to provide precise throttle control and buttery smooth starts! ESCs have a tough life - landing extreme jumps, experiencing accidental collisions, and splashing through the occasional puddle. As R/C enthusiast themselves, Castle engineers understand this and designed the Mamba X to endure these situations and power through them. It is housed in a rugged CNC-machined aluminum case and then potted in waterproof epoxy. This not only protects the electronics but ensures any heat generated in the controller can easily be dissipated through the case. The Mamba X integrates a powerful 8A adjustable BEC into a high-performance speed control that can push the most extreme 1/10th scale setups and 1/8th race buggies. Smart-Sense™ allows you to take advantage of smooth, cog-free, and predictable sensored starts and improved throttle response keeps you ahead of the competition. The Mamba X is proudly designed and manufactured in Olathe, Kansas and is backed by Castle Creations’ 1-year warranty and unparalleled ‘make-it-right’ customer support.

In these 1/8th scale racing setups, the Mamba X should be run at 4S Lipo (16.8V) max and is recommended to be paired with the Castle 1512-1800Kv (P/N: 060-0062-00) or Castle 1515-2200Kv (P/N: 060-0063-00) motor, with appropriate gearing only. ESC Technical Specs Input Voltage Range: MIN: 2S LiPo MAX: 6S LiPo (25.2V) (2s max with included 1406-7700kv motor) BEC Specifications: Adjustable: 5.5V, 6.0V, 7.5V. or 8.0V (8A Peak), default 5.5V Operating Environment: Waterproof* design allows for use in nearly any environment. Brake: Proportional Reversible: Yes, but may be disabled for racing. On/Off Switch: Yes Cooling Fan: Yes, factory equipped (30mm), fully removable** (see Product Use Statements below) Size: Length: 2.14" (54.4mm) Width: 1.39" (35.2mm) Height: 1.18" (30.0mm) Weight (with wires): 3.56 oz. (101g) Connectors: 4.0mm female bullets for motor connection. Items Needed for Operation: Battery Connector required, Castle 6.5mm Polarized Connectors, Castle 4.0mm Polarized Connectors, Traxxas® Power Connectors, or Deans® Ultra Plugs are recommended. Product Use Statements: *Although Mamba X is waterproof, it is not intended for operation while completely submerged in liquid. T Always rinse the ESC and motor with clean water after exposure to corrosives or dirt. While the motor and controller may be waterproof, we suggest users confirm that the rest of their vehicle, including the batteries, servos, radio and chassis are also waterproof before exposing them to liquids of any kind. **The cooling fan must be removed prior to driving in wet conditions. It is not waterproof. Max. Recommended Vehicle Weight: Up to 4lbs, with batteries, ready-to-run with included 1406 - 7700kv motor. Programmability: Fully programmable Castle feature set using Castle Link USB adapter (coupon for free link included in package) and freely downloadable Castle Link Windows software. Telemetry Link Capable: Yes Tech Notes: Mamba X setups frequently hit 100+ amps in peaks and not all LiPos are created equal. Surge ratings should never be used to determine a pack's suitability for a brushless application. Recommended battery capacity for 1:8th scale vehicles is 5000mAh. We recommend using 30C continuous discharge or higher LiPo batteries (or high quality 25C batteries such as Traxxas® Power Cell). Our experience suggests using only mild gear ratios with NiMH cells. Do not attempt to use NiMH cells in extreme setups. Applying voltages higher than 25.2V will cause irreparable damage to ESC. We recommend a high-current connector designed for high-powered electric systems, rated for 70+ amps. Invest in connector sets made for high-powered electric systems such as our Castle 6.5mm Polarized Connectors, Castle 4.0mm Polarized Connectors, Traxxas® Power Connectors, or Deans® Ultra Plugs. Motor Technical Specs Input Voltage Range: 2S LiPo Kv: 7700 Max.

NOT for use in 2WD or 4WD short course trucks. Click the gearing chart at the bottom of the page under Resources for more details. Max. Recommended Vehicle Weight: Up to 4lbs Tech Notes: Running modes: SMARTSENSE™, Sensored only Water Resistant Design: The sensor board is coated with silicone conformal coating to protect the sensors from moisture. The sensor connections are not water resistant; water can cause signal loss which could result in loss of sensored capabilities. Castle recommended applying dielectric grease to the outside of the sensor wire connections after installation of the wire. Routine maintenance is recommended after running in wet conditions. Please refer to this document for running and maintaining motors in wet environments.
