The Castle Creations Mamba Micro X2 Waterproof 1/18th Scale Brushless Combo with 0808-8200Kv motor is the perfect upgrade for 1:18 scale RC vehicles, up to 2S LiPo and weighing in at up to 1.5lbs. 

The Mamba Micro X2 ESC increases the maximum input voltage to 4s, with added DATA LOGGING and CRYO-DRIVE TECHNOLOGY that allows the ESC to run cooler and more efficiently at partial throttle. Like its predecessor, it is waterproof* and offers SENSORED MOTOR SUPPORT. This is the perfect upgrade for 1:18th scale 2WD or 4WD vehicles up to 2.25 lbs. The Mamba Micro X also works well in some 1:10th scale crawlers for low speed operation (no rock racing/hill climbing).

Product Use Statements: 
  • Applying voltages higher than 16.8 volts will cause irreparable damage to your controller, voiding your warranty.
  • Minimum recommended battery capacity for 1:18 scale vehicles is 1500mAh. We recommend using 30C continuous discharge or higher LiPo batteries (or high quality 25C batteries such as Traxxas® Power Cell).
  • Mamba Micro X has 3.5mm bullet connectors on the motor wires and the battery input wires are bare. You must add the connector of your choice to the battery leads. Castle recommends a high current connector rated for at least 40 amps.
  • Although the Mamba Micro X2 is waterproof, it is not intended for operation while completely submerged in liquid. They can corrode when exposed to corrosive materials, such as salt water. Always rinse the ESC with clean water after exposure to corrosives or dirt. While the 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.
  • Monitor motor temperatures closely; overheating a motor will cause permanent damage to the magnets. Never exceed 180° F on the the motor or ESC.

Castle Creations Mamba Micro X2 Waterproof 1/18th Scale Brushless Combo (8200Kv)
I bought this combo for a speed-running Losi Mini T 2.0, the ESC functions perfectly fine however the 08 series 8200kv motor has a serious flaw with motor shaft quality.

I'm very experienced in the hobby, had correct gear mesh, ran a lower tooth pinion which is recommended by Castle for this motor and the shaft exploded with the pinion still attached... after only 5-7 minutes of run time on 2s!

Castle has a decent warranty however I have to pay for shipping, and the turnaround will be weeks for a fairly cheap, small motor. So I figured I would just buy another one from Amain but it's now out of stock.

Amain has pretty good customer service but I am disappointed on this one, and will be weary of castle products from now on.

Perfect combo for the losi mini b 2.0. Tight fit under the stock body. Plenty of power for a 2wd buggy with good tires.
