Castle Creations Mamba Micro X2 Waterproof Sensored Brushless Combo — 1/14 Scale
Sensored brushless performance has arrived for 1/14 scale vehicles, and Castle Creations delivers it with the precision and build quality the brand is known for. The Mamba Micro X2 ESC pairs with the 1010-5600Kv sensored motor to produce buttery-smooth low-speed control, strong torque, and highly efficient power delivery across the RPM range. Whether you're rock crawling, circuit racing, or drag racing, the sensored system provides the predictability and throttle resolution that separates this combo from standard brushless setups. CRYO-DRIVE technology keeps the ESC running cooler at partial throttle, while QUIETSENSE shielding ensures the motor and ESC stay in sync under all conditions. Designed and manufactured in Olathe, Kansas, and backed by a 1-year manufacturer warranty.

LiPo Safety Warning: Never exceed 16.8V input — voltages above this will cause irreparable ESC damage and void the warranty. Use a minimum 1500mAh, 30C continuous discharge LiPo battery. Never exceed 180°F on the motor or ESC; monitor temperatures closely as overheating will permanently damage motor magnets.
Waterproofing Notice: The Mamba Micro X2 is waterproof but not intended for full submersion. Avoid corrosive liquids such as salt water. Always rinse with clean water after exposure to corrosives or dirt. Confirm that all other vehicle components — battery, servos, radio, and chassis — are also waterproof before exposure to liquids.
