The Castle Creations Mamba Monster X 8S 1/6 Brushless ESC features CRYO-DRIVE™ - 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. The results are cooler ESC temperatures, increased runtime and more power handling. 

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 Traxxas™ X-Maxx & Unlimited Desert Racer; Arrma™ Kraton 8s & Limitless; Losi™ Super Rock Rey & Audi R8; Redcat™ Shredder.

Product Use Statements: 
  1. Recommended battery capacity for 1:6 scale vehicles is 5000mah. Castle recommends using 50C continuous discharge or higher LiPo batteries.  
  2. Surge ratings should never be used to determine a pack’s suitability for a brushless application.  
  3. 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. 
  4. Applying voltages higher than 33.6V will cause irreparable damage to ESC. 
  5. 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.  
  6. The cooling fan must be removed prior to driving in wet conditions. It is not waterproof.
