ABOUT THE MAMBA MONSTER X
Motors
Please note that while the Mamba Monster X is capable of handling incredible
amounts of power, your motor must also be up for the task. Always run your
motor within the manufacturer’s specs. Monitor motor, battery, and controller
temps carefully and never let the motor get above 180
o
F. Excessive heat in the
motor can damage the motor, the Mamba Monster X, and your batteries.
Gearing
Always start with stock gearing. If you wish to change the gearing, motor, or
battery, you must check your motor temperature frequently on the first run. If the
motor gets too hot, reduce the pinion size, increase the spur size, or reduce the
pack voltage.
Programming
The Mamba Monster X is programmable via your transmitter, Windows® based PC
and a Castle Link USB adapter (available free with enclosed coupon), or a Field Link
card (purchased separately). See the Driver’s Ed Guide for more instructions on
transmitter programming and the Castle Link system. (“Transmitter Programming”,
and “Tuning with Castle Link”)
Data Logging
The Mamba Monster X features data logging. You will be able to measure and
record important power system information during your race, turn-by-turn.
After your run, you can download and analyze this log using Castle Link. You
will be able to inspect many parameters including battery voltage, motor RPM,
ESC temperature and more. Additional information about using the data logging
features can be found in the Driver’s Ed Guide (“Data Logging”).
