Castle Creations Mamba Micro X2 16.8V Waterproof Sensored ESC

Important Product Update, 8/2/2022.
Due to ongoing supply chain disruptions, we have been unable to manufacture the Micro X2. The parts in question are integral to the onboard 2-amp BEC. In an effort to provide the Micro X2 for sale again, we have removed the internal BEC and are including our external 10-amp CC BEC (a $24 value) with every Micro X2 purchase. This upgraded BEC has a wider range of BEC voltages and much higher current capacity.

The Mamba Micro X2 is a refresh of our popular 1:18 scale Mamba Micro X. This new ESC increases the maximum input voltage to 4s. We also added DATA LOGGING and our CRYO-DRIVE™ TECHNOLOGY; CryoDrive allows the ESC to run cooler and more efficiently at partial throttle.  Like its predecessor, it is waterproof* and has 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). You can now purchase the Mamba Micro X2 Crawler Edition ESC paired with our Slate Crawler motors.

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. We recommend a high current connector rated for at least 40 amps.

Tech Notes:    
*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.
