The Castle Mamba Monster 2 Waterproof 1/8 Scale Brushless Combo includes the sensored 1512 2650Kv motor and is recommended for 1:8 scale off-road and on-road vehicles as well as 1:10 scale 4WD SCT up to 9lbs ready to run with batteries.

The Mamba Monster 2 is an incredibly powerful sensorless ESC capable of 2S to 6S LiPo operation. It's also waterproof*, so you can run your vehicle across the morning dew, through soggy snow, or just about anywhere else you’d be interested in running a 1:8 scale RC buggy or truck. It features an easy-access case allowing you to replace fans quickly, if necessary. Additionally, Mamba Monster 2 features solder posts, so changing battery wire length and direction is simple for an even more custom install.

Castle Creations 1512 1Y Sensored 4-Pole Brushless Motors combine rotor position sensor technology with an improved high power and high efficiency motor design to deliver ultra smooth startup, precise low speed control, predictable power delivery, incredible torque, and lightning fast response. Through the use of Castle's Smart Sense technology, the position of the rotor is always known by the ESC. This eliminates the possibility of encountering cogging or inconsistency during startup, and allows the 1512 to deliver PRECISE throttle control and BUTTERY SMOOTH starts - with the RAW POWER and LONGER RUN TIMES that Castle motors are known for.

NOTE: Not all LiPos are created equal, and surge ratings should never be used to determine a pack’s suitability for a brushless application. Use the CONTINUOUS C rating only. Mamba Monster setups frequently hit 100+ amps in peaks. Castle strongly suggest using 5,000 mAh or larger LiPo cells with a discharge rating of at least 30C (or high quality 25C batteries such as Traxxas® Power Cells®). Use only mild gear ratios with NiMH cells. Do not attempt to use NiMH cells in extreme setups.

Castle Creations Mamba Monster 2 Waterproof 1/8 Scale Brushless Combo (2650Kv)
Much larger than I thought it was going to be! Purchased this for my brushed Traxxas Slash 2wd and the motor just barely went in. Lots of power and a bit more speed on 2s. Can't wait to see what this thing does on 3s and 4s. Motor has a lot of options that I have yet to play with. I would definitely recommend this combo to anyone!

Hassle free ordering and processing. Product was shipped almost immediately after ordering
The delivery was as fast as Amazon. The part was exactly what I needed to bring my RC back to life. It has been sitting on the shelf for 5 years with a blown motor. My only complaint is that I should have ordered the monster mamba back then. It was half the price. I'm happy and that's what counts. I would definitely recommend Amain hobbies to others.

I purchased this kit about 3 years ago, and installed it for kyosho buggy 1:8 scale 4wd-I used with Lipo 4S battery 5500mah- I found more power Compared the previous gas engine - and I used to climb the sand dunes - and I defied e revo 1/10 - and still working with the same power as before.Max Cells: 4S Lipo.

(must be adjusted to Gears 18T, 17T, 15T some gears for speed & some for torque and you should choose the appropriate)
