Castle Creations Mamba Micro X2 16.8V Waterproof Sensored ESC + 0808-6350kV Brushless Motor Combo for 1/18 Scale

Overview

The Castle Creations Mamba Micro X2 Combo (010-0171-06) brings serious brushless power to 1/18 scale RC. This factory-matched system pairs the waterproof, sensored Mamba Micro X2 ESC (16.8V / 4S capable) with a high-RPM 0808-6350kV brushless motor, delivering blistering speed and crisp control for small-scale racers and bashers.

The Mamba Micro X2 features Castle's CRYO-DRIVE technology for cooler, more efficient partial-throttle operation, plus full data logging for performance analysis. Sensored motor support, telemetry readiness, and auxiliary wire functionality make this one of the most feature-packed micro ESCs in the hobby.

The 0808 4-pole motor uses the same proven design Castle uses to power 15-pound monster trucks, scaled down for the 1/18 class. The result: explosive acceleration, strong torque, and excellent efficiency in a 20mm motor that's a perfect fit for 1/18 scale 2WD and 4WD vehicles up to 2.25 lbs.
