This is the Castle Creations Mamba Monster 1/8th Scale Brushless Car
Package with the Neu-Castle 2200kV Brushless Motor. Castle has used all
of their tricks to deliver tire shredding power for monster trucks and
1/8th buggy conversions. The Mamba Monster ESC handles up to 6S LIPO
input (25.2 Volts MAX). It has a switching BEC circuit onboard to
provide plenty of power for your receiver and servos. Don’t worry about
the amp rating, nothing even comes close to the real world performance
of the Castle controllers, and the Monster is no exception.
The
Mamba Monster is designed to keep its cool while it pounds your truck.
Castle refused to cut corners on the design or the components, the
electronic and thermodynamic fundamentals are correct from the start.
Castle then wrings a bit more power out by using a high efficiency heat
sink PLUS an integrated cooling fan to make sure you finish the race.

Monster ESCs use huge 6.5mm gold plated bullet connectors for reliable
power transfer and simple installation. Additionally, the
Castle Link USB adapter allows you to tame the Monster by adjusting the
settings using a Windows PC.
The Neu-Castle 2200kV is intended for up to 6S (25.2 Volt) operation. Incredible in monster trucks with up to 6S lipo packs (4s lipo is the sweet spot), and works great in 1/8 Truggies as well. The 2200 is 75mm long making it capable of handling more power than the 2650. This one is the bad boy! The efficiency of a motor determines
its quality. Higher efficiency means better design and high quality
components. The higher the efficiency of the motor the more power it can
produce before it overheats. Here’s a little math. Say you are laying
down 1,000 watts, (about 1¼ horsepower), and your motor is rated as
being 70% efficient. That means 300 watts is being turned into heat.
Ever grab a 300 watt light bulb? If the motor is 85% efficient it only
burns 150 watts as heat. More power goes to the wheels and the motor
runs cooler, making it capable of putting out even more power when
needed.
It’s always better to reduce the heat generated in an
electric power system with superior engineering, rather than to try and
cool things with fans and other gimmicks. Sure, a fan can get you a few
degrees, but it is much better to have a superior design to begin with.
NOTE: Castle Link USB cable is available separately. Software is available through www.CastleCreations.com
