Overview
The Castle Creations Mamba Micro X2 ESC (010-0169-00) is a feature-rich, ultra-compact brushless electronic speed controller built for serious 1/18 scale RC. With up to 4S LiPo (16.8V) input, full data logging, and Castle's CRYO-DRIVE technology for cooler operation, the Micro X2 packs flagship-level features into a tiny footprint.
Designed for racers, bashers, and scale builders alike, the Mamba Micro X2 supports both sensored and sensorless brushless motors, giving you the flexibility to build the exact setup your project demands. Sensored mode delivers smooth, cog-free starts and excellent low-speed control, while sensorless mode supports a wide range of micro motors.
Waterproof construction, telemetry readiness, and free Castle Link programming make the Micro X2 one of the most refined micro ESCs available - perfect for any serious 1/18 scale build.
