V1.24 RETRO


Strictly for our fellow speed freaks out there! You asked for them, now you can get them…but get them while they last!!!

The Monster V2 V1.24 RETRO has bare 10ga battery wires to handle the extreme currents of drag racing and top speed applications. V1.24 RETRO software has NO power limiting features whatsoever, so you'll get EVERYTHING your setup can put out!

These are a one time only deal and extremely limited quantity so get them while they last! We will NOT be making these again! Don’t kick yourself later for buying just one!!!

*Tech Note - Software version v1.24 RETRO is NOT accessible for download to other Monster ESCs. These ESCs come pre-flashed from the factory. They can NOT have the firmware changed.(ESCs are sold AS IS)

The v1.24 firmware version is the preferred software choice for drag racers in particular, and is the same as original Monster ESCs and ELC-6S ESCs that are nearly impossible to find! GET YOURS NOW!!!

THIS ESC IS AVAILABLE FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY.

Width: 1.86" (47mm)
Height: 1.33" (34mm)
Weight (with no battery connector): 3.93 oz. (111.5 g)
Connectors: 6.5mm female bullets for motor connection.
Items Needed for Operation: Battery Connector required - 6.5mm Castle Connectors, XT150, or 8mm bullets are recommended.
Product Use Statements: *Although Monster 2 and Castle brushless motors are waterproof, they are 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 and motor with clean water after exposure to corrosives or dirt. While the motor and 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.

**The cooling fan must be removed prior to driving in wet conditions. It is not waterproof.
Application Guidelines: Intended for up to 6S (25.2 Volt) operation in vehicles weighing less than 15 lbs, with batteries, ready-to-run.

Programmability: Fully programmable Castle feature set using Castle Link USB adapter and freely downloadable Castle Link Windows software or the Castle Link iOS App and a B-LINK Bluetooth Adapter.
Telemetry Link Capable: No
Tech Notes: 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. We 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®). Our experience suggests using only mild gear ratios with NiMH cells. Do not attempt to use NiMH cells in extreme setups.

Mamba Monster 2 features solder posts, so changing battery wire length and direction is simple for an even more custom install.

Paired with CASTLE 10TH SCALE SCT 1410 SENSORED MOTOR - 3800KV and a 3s traxxas 5000mah lipo. Its too fast. I ruin tires like mad. 10/10 would purchase again. Should have bought 2 while I could.

Need I say more?
No, but it would probably be helpful....

This esc has helped power and overpower a bunch of my projects. I first got this for a Slash Monster truck conversion. Combined with a 2650kv 1/8 scale motor I was constantly stripping 14mm hex monster truck wheels that were available at the time. It has since pushed a TT-02 to 89mph on 2s and powered a wide range of other motors. It has done well with a 10,000kv drag motor, 7000kv 40mm can, the 2650kv 1/8th motor and even some low turn (9t Double, 11t Single) brushed motors using the high power brushed mode setting. It is still going strong and because of this esc doing so well even after about 10yrs I am still a Castle fan. I know results vary but this esc has held up well and I can still trust it to do some grunt work. It's definitely left a good impression and has left me with high hopes for the other Castle esc's I have.
