Mamba Micro X2 Crawler Waterproof Sensored Combo, 2280kV (CSE010017102)
The Mamba Micro X2 Crawler Edition is a compact, waterproof electronic speed controller designed for 1:18-scale crawlers and other slow-speed RC rigs. This sensored-capable ESC accepts 2S–4S LiPo packs and uses Cryo-Drive cooling to stay cooler and more efficient at partial throttle, while data logging helps analyze performance. It includes a 2A peak BEC and supports sensored motors with an optional sensor harness, delivering precise, reliable control in challenging terrain.
Designed for 1:18-scale two- or four-wheel-drive crawlers up to about 2.25 pounds—and adaptable to some 1:10-scale crawlers for low-speed operation—the Micro X2 can be paired with Castle’s Slate Crawler motors for a complete combo. It offers six transmitter-adjustable settings, telemetry readiness with compatible transmitters, and auxiliary wiring for on-the-fly adjustments such as Max Power and Max Brake. Updates are available via Castle Link software on Windows or a USB adapter, or through the Castle Link App for Android or iOS, with a coupon included at purchase; a B-LINK Bluetooth Adapter (sold separately) enables wireless tuning. The unit is waterproof, though not intended for submerged operation; if used in wet conditions, rinse with fresh water and dry. A one-year warranty backs the product, and audible alerts help flag calibration issues or error conditions.

Overview
The Mamba Micro X2 Crawler Waterproof Sensored Combo features a high-performance 2280kV motor and a waterproof electronic speed controller (ESC) designed for serious rock crawling and trail running enthusiasts. This combo is perfect for weight-conscious builders and those with space limitations, making it ideal for 1:10 scale models that weigh less than 8 lbs. It can also be utilized in lighter vehicles (up to 4 lbs) for extended hill climbing and rock racing on 2S or 3S battery configurations.
The Mamba Micro X2 introduces a range of enhancements over its predecessor, including increased maximum input voltage support up to 4S, advanced data logging capabilities, and CryoDrive technology. This innovative feature allows the ESC to operate cooler and more efficiently at partial throttle settings. The 2 amp peak BEC, waterproof design, and sensored motor support make this combo an excellent upgrade for 1:18 scale 2WD or 4WD vehicles weighing up to 2.25 lbs, as well as certain 1:10 scale crawlers focused on low-speed operation.
Features include an input voltage range of 2S to 4S, adjustable voltage options, and easy transmitter programming for common settings. The telemetry-ready design is compatible with various telemetry links, allowing for efficient tuning and adjustments on-the-fly. With built-in audible alerts to notify of potential issues and a 1-year warranty, this product promises durability and reliability for any crawler enthusiast.
Note that while this ESC is waterproof, it is not intended for use while fully submerged. Proper care should be taken to rinse the unit with fresh water after wet operation to maintain its longevity.
