## Description

Product Description Designed from the ground up, the Mamba XLX2 ESC is packed with a powerful combination of hardware and software advancement, sensor performance, CRYO-DRIVE and waterproof design, and sets a new standard for high-performance power systems for large RC vehicles. CRYO-DRIVE uses Castle's exclusive breakthrough technology to integrate proprietary software and dedicated hardware, reducing heat and dramatically improving performance. Thousands of times per second, the XLX2 software minimizes the time electrical components spent in generating heat. These software advancements work in conjunction with the open housing design, increasing directional air flow to cool important components. The combination of a new 50mm fan and a forged elliptical fin heat sink, the XLX2 maximizes airflow throughout the system and takes heat performance to a whole new level. The result is improved power handling, reduced ESC temperatures, extended runtimes, and ultra-high performance. Additional tuning flexibility awaits you on the fly adjustment from the transmitter via auxiliary wire. Connect the white signal line to the open radio channel, then select the auxiliary function to activate the Castle Link function. Access to programming parameters such as torque control, max brake, and max throttle Combining the Mamba XLX2 and Castle 4 Pole 12 Slot Sensor 2028-800KV or 2028-1100KV, the heavy, fast rig can experience a controllable low end range without sacrificing power, punch and speed. SmartSense mode uses the motor sensors to start the motor for smooth starts, excellent torque and low speed operation. As the motor rotates, it seamlessly transitions to Castle's ultra-efficient sensorless mode. Instead of wasting on raw heat or RPM, you can supply more power where you need it. For calibration, input voltage, minimum battery requirements, wiring, soldering, connectors and more, please refer to the Mamba XLX2 Product Usage Statement (Document Section) It is important that all relevant components within your system can support the XLX2's incredible power handling and performance.

### ⭐ Review
*by C***N on February 23, 2025*

Doesn’t like 8S in an xmaxx even with conservative gearing. Claims there is an excessive load and almost blew brand new SMC batteries before the esc stopped outputting power to motor and burnt up a QS8 connector. It also changed LVC voltage from 3.2v, and let the batteries run down to 22 volts. Then changed again to 39v. Castle techs swore it doesn’t just change cutoff voltage all by itself, but here we are. It’s like it wants to destroy my truck and does everything it can to do so. Now I have to send this pile in to castle to hopefully get a warranty so I can sell off the replacements. Hobbywing does it better, MMX8s does it better, only use this if you’re doing a few speed run passes as that’s about all it’s good for. Keep it out of bashers or expensive builds that you don’t want to turn into a smoldering heap of plastic. Check out Kevin Talbots’s videos on the XLX2, you can blow a brand new unit on demand just by holding full throttle. Yet castle wants to blame everything from my soldering to my settings to my driving style and beyond. Pretty sweet for $250!
