Application: Mamba Monster X 8S is designed for 1/6 scale vehicles weighing up to 25 lbs. with up to 8S LiPo. Vehicle Examples: Traxxas X-Maxx & Unlimited Desert Racer; Arrma Kraton 8s & Limitless; Losi Super Rock Rey & Audi R8; Redcat Shredder
CRYO-DRIVE, Castle's latest break-through technology, minimizes the amount of time the ESC's electrical components spend generating heat. These software advancements work in parallel with a unique open housing design to allow increased directional airflow to cool critical components. With the integration of a 40mm fan and a forged elliptical fin heatsink, the new design maximizes airflow through the system, taking thermal performance to a whole new level. The results are cooler ESC temperatures, increased runtime and more power handling.
