Product Overview
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-DRIVET 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. This is the perfect upgrade for 1:18th scale 2WD or 4WD vehicles up to 2.25 lbs. 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.

Enabled by default, the Mamba Micro X2 captures and records performance data from your vehicle. This allows you to view a detailed turn-by-turn record of what your ESC actually experienced during the run. You will be able to record real-time data such as motor RPM, ESC and motor temperature, throttle input, and more. Download and analyze the collected data via Castle Link and make adjustments to maximize both performance and battery life.
Quick Tip: You can use the Quick Connect Duo (sold separately) to allow you to access both wires into a single Castle Link connection.
The Mamba Micro X2 allows "on-the-fly" adjustments to be made through the AUX wire once enabled in Castle Link. Once you have selected an AUX wire function, that setting can then be tuned from your transmitter while driving. Torque control, max throttle, max brake and drag brake adjustments are a sampling of the available modes. This real-time tuning allows you to quickly and easily fine-tune your system.
The Castle Link Programming Suite is your ticket to creating the perfect setup. To gain access to the host of tuning parameters, simply use the Castle Link adapter with your Mamba Micro X2 purchase and download the simple to install software from the Castle Creations website and you are ready to personalize your controller's settings. You can wirelessly program your ESC with the Castle Link Mobile App and the purchase the B-Link Bluetooth Adapter.
Users will receive free access to all firmware updates, including added features sets using the Castle Link USB Programming Kit or the Castle Link App and a B-Link Bluetooth Adapter.
Mamba Micro X2 is telemetry ready, which means owners of Futaba T4PX or 7PX Transmitters will be able to purchase the Castle Creations Telemetry Link for S.BUS2. Real-time data such as ESC temperature, voltages, and RPM can be monitored to ensure performance advantages and spare you the "unknown" parameters that all R/C enthusiasts experience at some point. Telemetry data provides another level of protection and can increase performance.
Audible Alerts that will notify you of possible issues with calibrations and error conditions to help diagnose problems in the field.

How does CRYO-DRIVE enhance micro platform performance?
The Castle P-CC010-0169-00 waterproof ESC for 1/18 scale 2WD/4WD vehicles features CRYO-DRIVE technology, which minimizes the time electrical components spend generating heat. This real-time thermal management is especially beneficial during partial throttle operation, where most micro-scale driving occurs. By maintaining lower temperatures, the ESC supports longer runtimes, higher gear ratios, and consistent performance across varied terrain. The result is a cooler, more efficient system that delivers power without compromise.
Why is sensored motor support critical for lightweight builds?
The Castle P-CC010-0169-00 sensored ESC with data logging and 2A peak BEC enables smooth, cog-free startups and precise low-speed control when paired with a sensored motor. This is particularly valuable for micro crawlers and trail rigs that require torque and finesse. Once the motor is spinning, the ESC transitions to sensorless mode for efficient high-speed operation. This dual-mode capability ensures both control and power delivery, making the ESC suitable for technical terrain and responsive driving.
Can the BEC support high-draw micro servos?
Yes. The Castle sensored ESC with 5.5V/7.5V adjustable BEC and audible alerts includes a selectable internal Battery Eliminator Circuit with a 2A peak output. This supports a wide range of micro servos and accessories without voltage drop or glitching. Whether you're running basic steering setups or upgrading to high-draw components, the BEC ensures stable power delivery across all conditions. The default 5.5V setting can be increased to 7.5V via Castle Link for enhanced servo response.
What makes the telemetry-ready interface valuable?
The Castle P-CC010-0169-00 with 3.5mm bullet connectors and telemetry support integrates seamlessly with Futaba S.BUS2 transmitters, including T4PX, T7PX, and T7PXR. This allows users to monitor real-time data such as ESC temperature, voltage, and RPM during active driving. Telemetry feedback enhances system awareness and helps prevent performance issues before they arise. Combined with audible alerts, the telemetry-ready interface provides a comprehensive diagnostic toolkit for micro-scale enthusiasts.
How does Bluetooth programming improve usability?
The Castle Micro X2 ESC with Bluetooth programming and auxiliary wire tuning supports wireless configuration via the Castle Link mobile app and optional B-Link Bluetooth Adapter. Users can also connect via USB using the included Castle Link coupon. The app provides access to firmware updates, setup profiles, and advanced tuning parameters. Additionally, the auxiliary wire allows on-the-fly adjustments from the transmitter, enabling real-time control of throttle, brake, and power settings without interrupting the drive.
Is the Castle P-CC010-0169-00 ESC suitable for micro crawlers?
Absolutely. The Castle P-CC010-0169-00 Mamba Micro X2 ESC with 4S support and CRYO-DRIVE is optimized for 1/18 scale RC cars and micro crawlers that require precise control and efficient power delivery. With support for 2S–4S LiPo batteries, sensored motor capability, and waterproof construction, the ESC is well-suited for trail rigs and technical terrain. The compact footprint and lightweight design (~47g with wires) make installation easy, while the integrated data logging and auxiliary tuning features provide advanced customization options.
