Statement**
• Applying voltages higher than 25.2V will cause irreparable
damage to your controller.
• Recommended battery capacity for 1:8th and 1:10th scale
vehicles is 5000mAh or larger. We recommend using 30C
continuous discharge or higher LiPo batteries (or high
quality 25C batteries such as Traxxas® Power Cell).
• The Mamba X has 4.0mm bullet connectors directly on the
ESC and the battery input wires are bare. You must add the
connector of choice to the battery leads. We recommend a
high-current connector rated for 70+ amps.
• The Mamba X is not intended for human or animal
propulsion.
RECEIVER CONNECTION
RX Wire
Plug the RX wire into the throttle (#2) channel on your
receiver.
AUX Wire
The AUX wire allows you to adjust a setting “on-the-fly”
using an auxiliary channel on your receiver. The AUX wire
function is disabled by default and is programmable via
Castle Link. Plug this wire into the auxiliary (#3/#4) channel
on your receiver. If you are not utilizing the Aux wire
function you can leave it disconnected from your receiver.
