Mamba XL X is a new high-performance controller for 1:5th scale
RC hobby vehicles weighing up to 30 lbs. Paired with the 2028-800kv
Extreme motor, this duo becomes the perfect combination for
large-scale, ultra-high-performance RC vehicles. Have you ever seen
a 1:5th scale Baja doing 70 mph? If you&rsquo:ve got the
traction, this Castle combination can get you there. The features
of this recently revamped ESC will prove this supercharged combo
will provide all of the brains and brawn needed to OVERPOWER 1:5th
scale car and gas to electric conversions.
NEW HIGH POWER BEC
A robust, user adjustable, internal 20A peak BEC will provide
plenty of juice for applications with powerful servos and
electrical components that run off the ESC.
AUXILIARY WIRE FUNCTIONALITY ON-THE-FLY
ADJUSTMENTS
When the Castle Phoenix Edge line was introduced for heli and plane
applications, we announced the addition of the user programmable
auxiliary wire. Our surface enthusiasts will now have a taste of
the simplicity and convenience of this feature with the Mamba X
Series Electronic Speed Controllers (ESC). In short, the auxiliary
wire is an extra wire that, when connected to an open channel on
your radio, allows users to take advantage of on-the-fly
adjustments (using your transmitter) that would otherwise be
modified or set using the Castle Link Programming Suite. The
feature is enabled through the Castle Link Programming system and
one mode may be selected at a time. Several modes are available for
on-the-fly programming:
Max Throttle Percentage Adjustment | Perfect for passing the controls to children, neighbors, or your boss. The ESC&rsquo:s maximum power is scaled from 10% to 100% depending on the signal received on the AUX wire. |
Max Reverse Percentage Adjustment | The ESC&rsquo:s maximum reverse power is scaled from 10% to 100% depending on the signal received on the AUX wire. |
Max Brake Percentage Adjustment | The ESC&rsquo:s maximum reverse power is scaled from 10% to 100% depending on the signal received on the AUX wire. |
Drag Brake Adjustment | Experiment with different settings (0% to full brake) on different tracks to be able to tune to the conditions quickly wherever you race. For bashers - a very light amount of drag brake can make the car seem more under control and easier to drive. Because bashing is often on uneven and low-grip surfaces, use very low settings at first to avoid spinning out when it engages. |
Reverse Enable/Disable | Depending upon the signal received from the AUX wire, reverse capability is enabled and disabled (only works in modes with reverse). |
Torque Control Adjustment | The Torque Limit feature is essentially a more effective form of Punch Control, where by the ESC can detect how much load is being placed on the motor and reduce the power it receives - this is extremely useful and effective for reducing wheelies and back-flips from a standing-start, something you definitely do not want when you are racing. You can dial in from 0.1 to 5.0 with the AUX wire functionality. |
Datalog Erase | Toggle the Auxiliary channel for a few seconds while in idle to erase the datalog. This can be added to any of the above modes. |
DATA LOGGING - AN INCREDIBLY POWERFUL PERFORMANCE
MEASUREMENT AND OPTIMAZATION TOOL
Data Logging enhancements include doubling the logging capacity and
adding the ability for users to erase the data log utilizing the
auxiliary switch. Enabling the data logging feature will maximize
performance and setup optimization. Who hasn&rsquo:t wondered
if they&rsquo:re pulling more amps than their battery can put
out or been baffled by battery usage? Data Logging will record
important power system information during use, turn-by-turn. Once
the data is uploaded to the Castle Link Graph Viewer, users can
view and analyze parameters such as battery voltage, battery ripple
voltage, amp draw, motor rpm, and controller temperature. Ensuring
a setup is performing within its limits is imperative to a healthy
power system. The new Castle Quick Connect Duo (sold separately)
offers users access to both wires into the single Castle Link
connection, without opening the receiver box! The Quick Connect Duo
detects the presence of a Castle Link adapter on the free lead and
will then will switch the controller's signal line from the
receiver to the Castle Link.
Software Enhancements - Telemetry Ready (Futaba S.BUS? T4PX transmitter compatibility coming soon!!)
Additional software enhancements include the addition of Link LiveT to the Mamba XL X capabilities. This feature, when enabled, will allow users to experience real-time telemetry data such as battery voltage, battery current and ESC temperature. Compatibility with the Futaba S.BUS? T4PX transmitter is coming soon and this controller is READY!
INDUSTRY LEADING SOFTWARE FUNCTIONS
Your Mamba XL X purchase includes a redeemable coupon for a free
Castle Link USB device. This allows access to the full programming
suite of adjustable settings that tune and tweak your vehicle to
your preferences, resulting in an incredible RC driving experience.
.
Additional Castle Link benefits
include:
- Access to all firmware updates, including added features sets released from Castle Engineering at no charge.
- Intuitive Demo Mode
- Ability to save basic to complex setup profiles for later use
- The Castle Link adapter works on ALL of the Castle products that feature Castle Link programmability - no need to worry about compatibility or which version you have.
AUDIBLE ALERTS - ELIMINATING THE
GUESSWORK
The ability to diagnose and resolve problems in the field are made
easy as this ESC will communicate with audible tones when certain
conditions are present. These alerts occur when your vehicle is
stopped and the ESC is on neutral. They consist of a sequence of
long and short beeps repeating every five seconds. To determine the
cause of the alert you simply record for short beeps and ? for long
beeps, then match the code you heard to the provided list. Users
may disable, or silence these features using Castle Link. See
&ldquo:Idle/Error Beeping&rdquo: on the
&ldquo:Basic&rdquo: tab in the Castle Link.
