Mamba Micro X2 Quick Start Guide

About the Mamba Micro X2

Please note that while the Mamba Micro X2 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 temperatures carefully and never let the motor get above 180°F (82°C). Excessive heat in the motor can damage the motor, the Mamba Micro X2, and your batteries.

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. Additional information about gearing can be found online at www.castlecreations.com/microxgearing.

The Mamba Micro X2 is programmable via your transmitter, a Windows® based PC and a Castle Link USB adapter (available free with enclosed coupon), or a B-Link Bluetooth® Adapter (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").
