Product Use 

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.
