Important Product Update, 6/14/2023:
The internal BEC is now included in all Micro X2 ESCs manufactured on or after June 2023. You can easily identify the manufacturing date on the side of the ESC box or the ESC's receiver wire. ESCs made between August 2022 and May 2023 do not have an internal BEC but come with an external 10-amp CC BEC.
Data-Logging:
The Mamba Micro X2 comes with built-in data logging functionality. By default, it captures and records performance data during your vehicle's operation. This enables you to access a detailed turn-by-turn record of your ESC's real-time experience, including motor RPM, ESC and motor temperature, throttle input, and more. Analyze this data using Castle Link software to fine-tune your system, maximizing both performance and battery life.
Quick Tip: Use the separately sold Quick Connect Duo to conveniently access both wires in a single Castle Link connection.
Auxiliary Functionality:
With the Mamba Micro X2, you can make "on-the-fly" adjustments through the AUX wire once it is enabled in Castle Link. Once you select an AUX wire function, you can easily tune and modify the setting from your transmitter while driving. Enjoy the flexibility to adjust torque control, max throttle, max brake, and drag brake settings, among other available modes. This real-time tuning feature allows for quick and effortless fine-tuning of your system.
Programmability:
Castle engineers have been at the forefront of software functionality for over 24 years. With the Castle Link Programming Suite, you have the power to create the perfect setup for your ESC. Simply redeem the included coupon for the Castle Link adapter, download the user-friendly software from our website, and personalize your controller's settings. You can also wirelessly program your ESC using the free Castle Link Mobile App and purchase the B-Link Bluetooth Adapter for added convenience.

Power System Alerts:
The Mamba Micro X2 provides audible alerts to notify you of potential calibration and error issues. These alerts assist in diagnosing problems in the field, ensuring a reliable and hassle-free experience.
Telemetry Ready:
The Mamba Micro X2 is designed to be telemetry ready, allowing owners of Futaba T4PX or 7PX Transmitters to purchase the Castle Creations Telemetry Link for S.BUS2. This feature enables the monitoring of real-time data such as ESC temperature, voltages, and RPM. By staying informed about these parameters, you can enhance performance, increase protection, and eliminate the uncertainties often faced by R/C enthusiasts. Telemetry data provides an additional layer of performance optimization and peace of mind.

*Although the Mamba Micro X2 is waterproof, it is not intended for operation while completely submerged in liquid. They can corrode when exposed to corrosive materials, such as salt water. Always rinse the ESC with clean water after exposure to corrosives or dirt. While the controller may be waterproof, we suggest 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.
