Application:Mamba Monster X 8S is designed for 1/6 scale vehicles weighing up to 25 lbs. with up to 8S LiPo.Vehicle Examples:Traxxas X-Maxx & Unlimited Desert Racer; Arrma Kraton 8s & Limitless; Losi Super Rock Rey & Audi R8; Redcat Shredder

CRYO-DRIVE, Castle’s latest break-through technology, minimizes the amount of time the ESC’s electrical components spend generating heat. These software advancements work in parallel with a unique open housing design to allow increased directional airflow to cool critical components. With the integration of a 40mm fan and a forged elliptical fin heatsink, the new design maximizes airflow through the system, taking thermal performance to a whole new level. The results are cooler ESC temperatures, increased runtime and more power handling.

ESC Features

• Input voltage range 2S-8S LiPo
• Sensored, Sensorless and SmartSense running modes
• Powerful Integrated 8A Peak Adjustable BEC (5.25V-8.0V)
• Premium forged heatsink with elliptical fins for superior airflow and increased heat dissipation
• Oversized factory equipped thermally controlled 40mm fan
• Waterproof design for all weather conditions.
• ESC is housed in a rugged CNC aluminum case and potted in waterproof epoxy to protect the components and promote efficient heat transfer
• Data-logging capability to capture and record performance data from your vehicle
• Auxiliary wire functionality for “on the-fly” adjustments using your transmitter

(See Product Use Statements below) Size: L x W x H 69.5mm x 54.1mm x 47mm Weight (w/wires): 5.75 oz. (163 grams) Connector type: 6.5mm female bullets for motor connection Items Needed for Operation: A high current connector designed for high-powered electric systems, rated for 100+ amps, such as Castle CC Bullet 6.5mm, CC Bullet 8.0mm, or 6.5mm Polarized Castle Connectors, soldered to the battery leads. Product Use Statements:

1. Recommended battery capacity for 1/6 scale vehicles is 5000mah. We recommend using 50C continuous discharge or higher LiPo batteries.
2. Surge ratings should never be used to determine a pack’s suitability for a brushless application.
3. We recommend a high current connector designed for high-powered electric systems, rated for 100+ amps, such as Castle CC Bullet 6.5mm, CC Bullet 8.0mm, or 6.5mm Polarized Castle Connectors.
4. Applying voltages higher than 33.6V will cause irreparable damage to ESC.
5. Although Mamba Monster X 8S is waterproof, it is not intended for operation while completely submerged in liquid. Always rinse the ESC with clean water after exposure to corrosives or dirt.
6. The cooling fan must be removed prior to driving in wet conditions. It is not waterproof.
