About this part
This is the Castle Creations Mamba Monster 2 1/8th Scale Brushless ESC. The Mamba Monster 2 is as mean as his older brother, but isn't afraid of a little water! That’s right; users can run their vehicles down a muddy road, through the morning dew, across some slushy snow or just about any other condition you may bash an 1/8th scale buggy or monster truck. Plus, the Mamba Monster 2 delivers all of this while retaining an astonishingly affordable price! This makes the Mamba Monster 2 the ultimate 1/8th scale ESC when you want power and versatility at an unbelievable price.
Mamba Monster 2 is intended for on-road, 1/8 buggies & truggies, and monster trucks running up to 6S LiPo and tipping the scales at up to 15lbs. The innovative case allows for fan changes if necessary. Solder posts now permit users to change battery wire length and direction as needed. As always, the Mamba Monster 2 offers industry-leading software functions and USB programming capability via Castle Link USB adapter. Remember, the fan is not water proof, so users need to remove the fan before they head out into wet conditions.
Legal mumbo jumbo that Castle wants you to read:
Although Monster 2 and Castle brushless motors are waterproof, they can corrode when exposed to corrosive materials, such as salt water. Always rinse the ESC and motor with clean water after exposure to corrosives or dirt. While the motor and controller may be waterproof, Castle suggests users confirm that the rest of their vehicle, including the batteries, servos, radio and chassis are also waterproof before exposing them to liquids of any kind.
NOTE: Castle Link USB cable is available separately. Software is available through www.CastleCreations.com

Its pretty bad ass. Only using it for 3s on my slash 2wd. With a hobbywing 4000kv. Its way better then the hobbywing esc I was using. Im guna stick with castle or spectrum esc..my only issue (and its probably just me) I wish it had a power button instead of a power switch. Still. Luvin it!!!
Absolutely awesome ESC. Easy to set up, has loads of power & far more capable than the HW Max8 it replaced. Even on 90+ deg days it has NO problem running 6s in a heavy truggy with a 4282 motor!
A great powerful esc. Very easy to setup and combined with a castle 2200 or 2050 this thing rips. Runs with 6s lipo and it tears the tires off the wheels. Great esc for the money. I own 5! Thanks amain for the coupon, worth the money
The best Basher 4s ESC made. I have 3 of them and 2 are first year releases and all are still in service. I highly recommend the Monster 2 ESC.
Yeah. My set ups cause many ESCs to burn up Sonim hoping things has improved they only castle that stand the test is XLX. THIS mamba2 is for a 10th scale build so it should give me a few runs. Feel the power RC/FPV
Reviewers broadly rate the Castle Creations Mamba Monster 2 1/8th Scale Brushless ESC highly, praising its power, ease of setup and performance over other ESCs they had used, including running 6S in heavy trucks in hot conditions. One reviewer reports owning several units, with some in service for years. One reviewer noted a preference for a power button over a power switch. One review, rated 3 of 5, describes the unit as being for a 10th scale build and reports that the reviewer's own setups burned up many ESCs, with Castle's XLX model being the only one that held up. This review appears to concern a different application and setup than the others, so it is less comparable. Overall, the feedback is strongly positive from verified owners.
- + Strong power output
- + Easy setup
- + Performs well on 6S setups
- + Durable in long-term use
- − Uses a power switch rather than a power button
- − Burned up in one reviewer's high-stress 10th scale setup
