Description

Drive fearlessly and punch that throttle! Take your scale build or upgrade to the next level with Castle’s legendary brushless power. The MAMBA MONSTER X 8S W/1717-1650kv SENSORED COMBO is a perfect upgrade for heavier 1/8 scale vehicles and lighter 1/6 scale vehicles weighing up to 20 lbs. and running up to 8S LiPo. SmartSense™ mode uses the motor’s sensors to start the motor to provide smooth starts, excellent torque, and low-speed drivability. You’ll put more power to the ground, where it should be, instead of wasting it through raw heat and RPMs. The 4-pole 12-slot 1717-1650kv motor design boast exceptional efficiency, and the oversized NMB bearings and vibration dampening system ensure the longest bearing life possible. High-strength, high- temperature grade neodymium sintered magnets combined with a high-strength Kevlar wrap ensures the integrity of the rotor is not compromised during harsh running conditions. You will reap the benefits of longer run times on one battery and a cooler running motor that can be pushed harder. The MAMBA MONSTER X 8S utilizes Castle’s breakthrough technology CRYO-DRIVE™. 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.

  • Real power
Very good upgrade very fast

  • Do NOT buy used versions of these, seller does ZERO quality testing!!
I bought a used version of this, and it was dead on arrival. The esc had a broken wire, and when I tested the esc all it did was get super hot and puff some magic smoke out of its capacitors.

  • Great
I've had this for a little while now and I love it! I love all the capabilities and the strength. Seems well made. I feel you can never go wrong with Castle products.

  • The best ESC out there!
What else can I say more than others have said. This ESC is a monster in the speed run and bash community. I have a few and will likely buy more.

  • Wow, It's New, Un-opened!
I bought this excat setup a few moths ago and paid $60 more. This is a genuine Castle Creations Combo in an unopened sealed package. Very Happy.

  • Loose wires on esc
I just received and installed the mamba x esc. When I tried to turned it on, nothing happened. I started to wiggle the wires on the esc and it turned on and off as the wires were moved. So I noticed that the sensor cable coming from the esc has a lot of movement. Is this plug soldered on the esc or plugged? ... show more

  • Brand new Monster X 8s 1717 Combo
For the price I was expecting to receive only an ESC or the ESC and motor combo used or in an open box. Instead I received a brand new, beautiful Castle system. Unbelievable and unbeatable deal.
