Castle Creations Mamba Micro X2 1/18 Scale ESC w/0808-5300Kv Brushless Motor

It will not work until you calibrate. Read the instructions. If something goes wrong, read my comments. At first I couldn't get it to work. Kept trying to calibrate. Then for some reason I did the calibration backwards. It worked, but no braking and forward went to instant reverse. Reverse was faster than forward. I realized I needed to switch A and C around and reverse the throttle channel on the remote. Calibrated perfect after that. Brakes work now. Reverse is proper only after brakes. It is crazy fast on 2s. Can't wait to try 3s.

I am running three of these systems between my minis, Mini-T 2.0 | Mini-b | Mini Drag with very minimal issues. I had trouble getting the esc to connect to my receiver on the combo purchased for my Mini Drag. I used the castle link to flash the esc to factory settings and the issue was solved. Outside of that, I have not had any issues with these as expected with castle products. 100% recommend these for your mini rigs. Stay away from that hobby wing trash..

I liked the great power. This smallest of three in the recommended 0808 series for my Typhon Grom pushed it past 50 mph on 3S before I snapped puny 2mm bore/shaft just trying wheelie flips. 17t pinion as recommended. Seemed very hot without fan whille they claim special technology so fan optional. Sent it in with form to upgrade. No personalized communication about backorder. I could just buy the motor I'd try on Amazon for $39 more. 🤔😒 Weeks with new Grom benced. No anticipated date. Nothing. Finally, the set costs, literally, 3-4 times other Grom/3S offering. All the superior quality and speed pretty useless when product unavailable ansd support is thin.

Works great in my Losi Mini-B. A little big and modified the chassis for a proper fit to leave an enough room depending on the battery being used. Only issue is the three wires (from ESC & Motor) aren’t labeled, but nothing major. They were easy enough to figure out

Good product. Lots of power

This is now 2nd micro motor that I got with lower KV, the first one the motor shaft snapped off and I wasn't even driving the car on the ground I just gave it a quick go before I set down to run and I heard a snap after 3 trigger pulls and now this one I ordered the solder came undone and not even sure I can fix. I pulled it from the esc properly and slow, to make sure this wouldn't happen and it did. I don't understand!! Castle is supposed to be reliable and trustworthy and most of all dependable!!!! I have been a customer for so many years and this is just ridiculous!!!! High price for constant issues. I'm so upset with this, iam once again left with put being able to use my RC car I have been working really hard on and the motor is the most important factor and it's making me feel I need to find a new brand and new place to find more reliable RC car motors!!!!!!

This castle system are a beast! really fast after installing this!

After getting this item I was excited to start build and came on my day of so it was perfect
