CAUTION: Read before operating your model with 65+mph gearing!

• The 24/54 ratio for use with 6S LiPo batteries is designed for maximum speed 

on smooth surfaces only, with steady acceleration to full throttle. 

• Do not use this gear ratio for general driving. 
• Avoid repetitive starting and stopping. 
• Do not use the 24/54 ratio with NiMh batteries or low-capacity LiPo batteries. 

5000mAh LiPo batteries are recommended.

• Allow the motor to cool between runs, and monitor motor temperature. 
• Do not use the 24/54 gear ratio for off-road running or overheating and 

damage may result. 

• Do not allow the motor temperature to exceed 200° F or damage and motor 

failure may result. 

 
To accurately monitor motor temperature, Traxxas suggests the #4091 
On-Board Temperature Gauge. The gauge features a large LCD screen, on/
off button for longer battery life, a min/max temp button, a Centigrade/
Fahrenheit button, and a clear Lexan splash guard. Visit your local dealer or 
Traxxas.com for more information. 

If you have questions or need technical assistance, call Traxxas at

Speed Control Programming Instructions

The Castle Creations Mamba Max 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.  

Castle Creations Mamba Monster Warranty

Your Castle speed control is warrantied for one (1) year from date of 
purchase to be free from manufacturing and component defects. This 
warranty does not cover abuse, neglect, or damage due to incorrect 
wiring, over-voltage, or overloading. If you have any questions, 
comments or wish to return your Castle speed control for warranty or 
non-warranty repair or replacement, please contact Castle Creations, Inc.
