Description

The Mamba XLX2 and 2028-800Kv combo is designed for the most extreme and demanding RC applications. The massive motor and high power ESC are capable of pushing vehicles and drivers to their limits and beyond. This is the perfect combo for vehicles weighing up to 30 lbs and up to 8S LiPo. CRYO-DRIVE™, Castle's proprietary breakthrough technology, integrates unique software and dedicated hardware to reduce heat and dramatically increase performance. Thousands of times per second, the XLX2 software minimises the amount of time the electrical components spend generating heat. These software advancements work in parallel with an open housing design which enables increased directional airflow to cool critical components. With a new 50mm fan and forged elliptical fin heatsink, the XLX2 maximises airflow throughout the system, taking thermal performance to a whole new level. The results are more power handling, cooler ESC temperatures and longer run-times for ultra-high performance. You can easily optimise the ESC for any driving condition, from rugged terrain to smooth pavement to the perils of rock and gravel. Create, save and download setup profiles through the Castle Link Programming Suite on your Windows™ PC, or wirelessly with the new B-Link™ Bluetooth™ Adapter and Castle Link app for Android or iOS. Additional tuning flexibility is available with on-the-fly adjustments from your transmitter via the Auxiliary wire. Simply connect the white signal wire to an open radio channel and enable the feature in Castle Link to select an Auxiliary function — such as Torque Control, Max Brake or Max Throttle. SmartSense™ mode uses the motor's sensors to start the motor and provide smooth starts, excellent torque and low-speed drivability. Once the motor is spinning, it seamlessly transitions to Castle's ultra-efficient sensorless mode.
