RECEIVER BOX:
MAINTAINING A WATERTIGHT SEAL
CAUTION: The Power System is NOT WATERPROOF. Do not expose
the power system to any type of water, condensation, or moisture.
Removing and Installing Radio Gear
The unique design of the receiver box allows the removal and
installation of the receiver without losing the ability to maintain a
watertight seal in the box. The patent-pending wire clamp feature
gives you the ability to also install aftermarket radio systems and
maintain the watertight features of the receiver box.
Removing the Receiver
1. To remove the cover, remove the two 3x10mm button-head
cap screws.
2. To remove the receiver from the box, simply lift it out and set to
the side. The antenna wire is still inside the clamp area and cannot
be removed yet.
3. Remove the wire clamp by removing the two 2.8x8mm cap screws.
4. Unplug the servo cables from the receiver and remove the receiver.
Receiver Installation
1. Always install the wires into the
receiver box before installing the
receiver.
2. Install the antenna wire and the servo
cables into the receiver box.
3. Arrange the wires neatly using the
wire guides in the receiver box. The
excess wire will be bundled inside the receiver
box. Label which wire is for which channel.
4. Apply a small bead of silicone grease
(Traxxas part #1647) to the wire clamp.
5. Install the wire clamp and tighten the
two 2.8x8mm cap screws securely.
6. Install the receiver into the box and
plug the wires into the receiver. Refer
to page 11 for the wiring diagram.
7. Make sure the O-ring is properly seated
into the groove in the receiver box so that the cover will not pinch it
or damage it in any way.
8. Install the cover and tighten the
two 3x10mm button-head cap screws securely.
9. Inspect the cover to make sure that the O-ring seal is not visible.
SPEED CONTROL ADJUSTMENTS
The Castle Creations Mamba Monster speed control should not
need reprogramming with normal use.
However, if you install a
different radio system in your model or change the transmitter’s
throttle-neutral setting from 50/50 to 70/30, you will need
to reprogram the speed control. Follow these instructions to
reprogram the speed control:
1. Install the batteries of your choice in the battery compartments
and plug the batteries into the speed control.
2. Switch on your transmitter.
3. Hold full throttle while you switch on the Mamba Monster
controller. After a few seconds, you will hear multiple tones and
the RED LED will light.
4. Hold full brake. After a few seconds, you will hear multiple tones
and the YELLOW LED will light.
5. Release the trigger to the neutral position. After a few seconds,
you will hear multiple tones and ALL THE LEDs will light.
6. Wait a few more seconds for the speed control to “arm,”
indicated by a double tone. You are now ready to drive.
Disconnect Batteries After Use
Always disconnect the batteries from the speed control when
you are finished using your vehicle. The switch on the speed
control only shuts off power to the receiver and servos. The speed
control continues to draw power as long as it is plugged in and
may over-discharge your batteries if they are left connected to the
speed control.
ATTENTION! LiPo Battery Users
The E-Revo Brushless Edition is programmed at the factory for use
with LiPo batteries. Your model will run properly with NiMH batteries.
To obtain the maximum performance from the included batteries,
download the Mamba Monster manual at castlecreations.com for
instructions on de-activating the LiPo voltage cutoff. If LiPo batteries
are used, be sure to reset the Mamba Monster to the correct LiPo cutoff
voltage for your batteries. Failure to properly reset the cutoff voltage
may lead to damage or failure of your LiPo batteries.
Never use LiPo
batteries while Low-Voltage Detection is disabled.
