This ESC may have an internal or external BEC. If this is a concern for you, please contact us before ordering to check availability.
Important Product Update, 6/14/2023.
The internal BEC is back!
All Micro X2s made on or after June 2023 will again have the internal
BEC. You can check the date of manufacture on the side of the ESC box or
on the ESCs receiver wire. ESCs made between August 2022 and May 2023
do not have an internal BEC and include an external 10-amp CC BEC.

Important Product Update, 8/2/2022. Due to ongoing supply chain disruptions, the manufacturer have been unable to manufacture the Micro X2. The parts in question are integral to the onboard 2-amp BEC. In an effort to provide the Micro X2 for sale again, the manufacturer has removed the internal BEC and are including their external 10-amp CC BEC (a $24 value) with every Micro X2 purchase. This upgraded BEC has a wider range of BEC voltages and much higher current capacity. The retail price for the ESC and combos has not changed. For instructions on how to install the CC BEC, please visit www.castlecreations.com/microx2BEC.
Putting the X in Extreme!
The Mamba Micro X2 is a refresh of
our popular 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 boasts an 2 amp peak
BEC,waterproof* and has SENSORED MOTOR SUPPORT.
This ESC is
ideal for the weight conscious builder or where space is limited, used
in low speed crawling or trail running in vehicles weighing up to 8lbs
on 2s or 3s; it can also be used in slightly more aggressive setups like
rock racing and extended hill climbing on vehicles up to 4lbs.
Recommended motors include Castle's "Slate" crawler motors (combos
available) and Holmes Hobbies Puller Pro 540 "Stubby" (≤ 2700kv)
If
you're looking for a more aggressive setup in a heavier rig, like rock
racing and extended hill climbing, we recommend you run the Mamba X ESC.
Like its predecessor it includes improved features for rock crawling,
including active drag brake and drag brake ramp.
Note: Use of an external BEC is required if running a high power or digital servo.

Tech Notes:
|
*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.
