MONSTER 2 1/8TH 25V ESC WATERPROOF WITH SENSORED 2200KV MOTOR
Brute Power and Sheer Stamina!
Mamba Monster 2 is capable of 2S LiPo to a maximum of 6S LiPo. It's also waterproof*, so you can run your vehicle across the morning dew, through soggy snow, or just about anywhere else you’d be interested in running a 1/8 scale RC buggy or truck. It features an easy-access case allowing you to replace fans quickly, if necessary. Additionally, Mamba Monster 2 features solder posts, so changing battery wire length and direction is simple for an even more custom install.

*Not intended for operation while submerged in liquid. If unit is operated in wet conditions, rinse with fresh water to remove dirt or corrosives, then fully dry unit.
** Sensored capabilities of the motor cannot be utilized with the Mamba Monster 2. If you require sensored operation you will need a sensored ESC like the Mamba Monster X. The Mamba Monster X paired with the same motor can be found here.

Items Needed for Operation: Battery Connector required; Deans Ultra Plugs, Traxxas Power Connectors, E-Flite EC5, or 6.5mm Castle Connectors are recommended.
Product Use Statements: *Although Mamba Monster X 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.
Recommended Motors: Combo includes Neu-Castle 1515 2200Kv: Max Cells: 6s Lipo or 16 NiMH
Application Guidelines: Intended for up to 6S (25.2 Volt) operation in vehicles weighing less than 15 lbs, with batteries, ready-to-run.
Max. Recommended Vehicle Weight: Less than 6.8kg with batteries, ready-to-run
Programmability: Fully programmable Castle feature set using Castle Link USB adapter and freely downloadable Castle Link Windows software.
Telemetry Link Capable: Yes
Tech Notes:
Mamba Monster X setups frequently hit 100+ amps in peaks and not all LiPos are created equal. Surge ratings should never be used to determine a pack's suitability for a brushless application. Recommended battery capacity for 1/8:th scale vehicles is 5000mAh. We recommend using 30C continuous discharge or higher LiPo batteries (or high quality 25C batteries such as Traxxas® Power Cell).
Our experience suggests using only mild gear ratios with NiMH cells. Do not attempt to use NiMH cells in extreme setups.
Applying voltages higher than 25.2V will cause irreparable damage to ESC.
We recommend a high-current connector designed for high-powered electric systems, rated for 70+ amps. Invest in connector sets made for high-powered electric systems such as our CCBULLET 6.5 mm, Castle 6.5 mm Polarized Connectors, Traxxas® Power Connectors or T-Plugs

Application Guidelines: The ESC and motor are intended for up to 6S (25.2 Volt) operation. Incredible in monster trucks with up to 6S LiPo packs (4S LiPo is the sweet spot), and works great in 1/8th buggies and truggies and on road as well. (vehicle weight limit is 15 lbs or less, with batteries ready-to-run).
