The MAMBA MONSTER X 8S, 33.6V ESC W/1717-1650KV SENSORED COMBO is a perfect upgrade for 1/8 vehicles and lighter 1/6 vehicles weighing up to 20 lbs. and running up to 8S LiPo.

RACER TESTED - BASHER APPROVED

Drive fearlessly and punch that throttle! The MAMBA MONSTER X 8S utilizes Castle’s CRYO-DRIVE technology. By reducing the rate at which the ESC heats up and removing heat more efficiently, your setup will be able to handle higher gear ratios, in heavier vehicles, with longer runs. These software advancements work in parallel with a unique open housing design to allow increased directional airflow to cool critical components. With the integration of a 40mm cooling fan and a forged elliptical fin heatsink, the design maximizes airflow throughout the system, taking thermal performance to a whole new level.

High-performance demands high quality and this ESC was designed with durability in mind. Constructed around a robust aluminum casing, the epoxy potting guarantees protection around the circuitry and ensures all-weather use. Mamba Monster X 8S is a workhorse; it will dominate in the harshest of environments.

You can easily optimize the ESC for any driving condition, from rugged terrain to pavement to rock and gravel. Create, save and download setup profiles through the Castle Link Programming Suite on your Windows PC, or wirelessly with the B-Link Bluetooth Adapter and Castle Link app for Android or iOS.

Additional tuning flexibility awaits you with on-the-fly adjustments from your transmitter via the Auxiliary wire. Connect the white signal wire to an open radio channel and enable the feature in Castle Link by selecting the Auxiliary function you would like to use. Access programming parameters such as Torque Control, Max Brake or Rock Race Mode.

When paired with the Castle 1717-1650KV motor, users with heavy, high-speed rigs will experience controllable low-end ranges without losing punch or top-end speed. SmartSense mode uses the motor’s sensors during startup for smooth launches and transitions to sensorless mode at speed. This puts more usable power to the ground instead of converting excess energy into heat.

Whether you are burning out, dropping the hammer, trigger happy, powering out, on-the-rocks, off-the-rocks, wheeling or mud bogging, MAMBA MONSTER X 8S is ready to test the limits of your setup.
