This ESC may have an internal or external BEC. If this is a concern for you, please contact us before ordering to check availability.
Important Product Update, 6/14/2023.
The internal BEC is back!
All Micro X2s made on or after June 2023 will again have the internal
BEC. You can check the date of manufacture on the side of the ESC box or
on the ESCs receiver wire. ESCs made between August 2022 and May 2023
do not have an internal BEC and include an external 10-amp CC BEC.

Important Product Update, 8/2/2022. Due
to ongoing supply chain disruptions, the manufacturer 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,
the manufacturer has removed the internal BEC and are including their
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 retail price for the ESC and combos has not changed. For
instructions on how to install the CC BEC, please visit www.castlecreations.com/microx2BEC.
Putting the X in Extreme!
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 boasts an 2 amp peak BEC,waterproof* and has SENSORED MOTOR SUPPORT (included 0808 motor is sensorless).
This is the perfect upgrade for 1:18 scale RC vehicles, up to 3S LiPo and weighing in at up to 2lbs. Vehicles include: Losi Mini-T 2.0, Traxxas LaTrax Rally, Traxxas LaTrax Teton, Axial Yeti Jr.
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.
