MONSTER X 25.2V ESC, 8A PEAK BEC W / 1512-2650KV SENSORED MOTOR
Product #: 010-0145-04
Putting the X in Extreme!
The Mamba Monster X provides even more extreme performance than the Monster 2. Most notable is the addition of a new, programmable Auxiliary Wire that allows the user to make “on-the-go” adjustments to several settings, such as torque control and reverse enable or disable. This new Auxiliary Wire allows you to fine-tune the performance of your Monster X ESC right from your compatible transmitter using an auxiliary channel on your receiver. The Monster X also features updated Audible Alerts that will notify drivers of possible issues with their calibrations and error conditions to help diagnose problems in the field. The ESC can also be configured to run sensored brushless motors in addition to sensorless and brushed.

| Date Logging: | Mamba Monster X can capture and record performance data from your last couple of runs, commonly referred to as data logging. This data can be downloaded via the Castle Link USB programmer; you can use the Quick Connect Duo (sold separately) to allow you to access both wires into a single Castle Link connection. You can then analyze this data and make adjustments to the ESC to maximize both performance and battery life. |
| Auxiliary Functionality: | Mamba Monster X features the addition of a new, programmable AUX wire that allows you to make “on-the-go” adjustments to several settings such as torque control, and max throttle, and fine-tune the performance of your ESC right from the transmitter using an auxiliary channel on the receiver. The AUX wire function is disabled by default but is programmable via Castle Link or the Castle Link iOS App. Once you have programmed the functionality of the AUX wire, that setting can then be adjusted on-the-go from a compatible transmitter. Click here for additional information. |
| Programmability: | Fully programmable Castle feature set using Castle Link USB adapter (coupon for free Castle Link adapter included in package) and freely downloadable Castle Link Windows software or the Castle Link iOS App and a B-LINK Bluetooth Adapter. (A small subset of the settings available through Castle Link Windows software can be accessed via manual programming through the transmitter stick). |
| Firmware Updates: | Users will receive free access to all firmware updates, including added features sets using the Castle Link USB Programming Kit. Click here for software versions available for Mamba Monster X. |
| 1512-2650Kv Motor: | Our IMPROVED 4-POLE 12-SLOT sensored design boasts exceptional EFFICIENCY and produces LESS HEAT. Learn more about the optimized design and motor features by clicking here. |
| Power System Alerts: | Mamba Monster X also features updated Audible Alerts that will notify you of possible issues with calibrations and error conditions to help diagnose problems in the field. Click here to see complete list. |
| Telemetry Capable: | Mamba Monster X is telemetry ready, which means owners of Futaba T4PX Transmitters will be able to purchase the Castle Creations Telemetry Link for S.BUS2. Real-time data such as ESC temperature, voltages, and RPM can be monitored to ensure performance advantages and spare you the “unknown” parameters that all R/C enthusiasts experience at some point. Telemetry data provides another level of protection and can increase performance. |
