This ESC and Motor Combo is ideal for the weight conscious builder or where space is limited, it is perfect for 1:10 scale low speed rock crawlers/trail runners on 2S or 3S weighing less than 8lbs; can also be used in vehicles up to 4lbs for extended hill climbing and rock racing.
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 is 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.

Why is the 1406-2280Kv motor ideal for trail realism?
The Castle P-CC010-0171-02 ESC combo for 1/10 scale crawlers and trail rigs includes a sensored 1406-2280Kv motor designed for balanced torque and RPM. Its Kv rating supports scale-accurate throttle response while maintaining enough speed for trail versatility. Paired with SmartSense technology, the motor delivers precise low-speed control and transitions seamlessly to sensorless mode for efficient cruising across varied terrain.
How does CRYO-DRIVE enhance thermal performance?
The Castle P-CC010-0171-02 waterproof ESC with CRYO-DRIVE and telemetry support uses proprietary software to minimize heat generation during partial throttle operation. This real-time thermal management is especially beneficial for crawlers and trail trucks, where slow, deliberate driving dominates. By maintaining lower temperatures, CRYO-DRIVE allows longer runtimes, higher gear ratios, and consistent performance in all conditions.
Can you tune the ESC wirelessly and in real time?
Yes. The Castle Micro X2 ESC combo with Bluetooth programming and data logging 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.
How does telemetry improve system awareness?
The Castle waterproof ESC with telemetry and drag brake for technical terrain 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 scale enthusiasts.
