Our brushless power systems are ideal for those who desire higher efficiency, advanced features and improved optimization for their stock upgrade or build. The Micro X2 ESC is proudly DESIGNED, ASSEMBLED AND SUPPORTED IN OLATHE, KS. USA
  • Take your 1:18th scale RC to the next level with a brushless powered Castle Mamba Micro X2 ESC and 5300Kv (20mm size) motor setup. It is a perfect upgrade for 1:18th 2WD/4WD vehicles, weighing in at up to 2lbs. and running 2s-3s LiPo (4-9 cell NiMH). Example vehicles include: Traxxas Slash 4x4 1/16th, Losi Mini-T 2.0, Traxxas LaTrax Rally, Traxxas LaTrax Teton, Axial Yeti Jr.
  • Our 0808 series motors utilize the same 4-pole technology we use to toss around 15-pound monster trucks like rag dolls and wheelie 25-pound X-Maxx’s on demand. With the increased efficiency and torque gained from a 4-pole design they will take just about anything the user can throw at them. Just imagine what this little 20mm powerhouse is capable of. They’re a mini’s worst nightmare. and the competitions. Mounting holes are 2.5mm @ 14mm and ships with preinstalled 3.5mm male bullet connections.
  • Castle ESC settings are easily optimized through the Castle Link app via Windows PC with a Castle USB adapter (coupon for free adapter included with purchase), or wirelessly with the Castle B-LINK Bluetooth Adapter (sold separately) and free Castle Link app for Android or iOS.
  • The Mamba Micro X2 does not contain an internal BEC but your purchase includes a FREE Castle Creations external 10-amp CC BEC, a $24 value! This upgraded BEC has a wider range of BEC voltages and much higher current capacity.


We are excited to provide the next generation of brushless power for 1:18th racers and off-road fans, as well as the scale community. The MAMBA MICRO X2 takes full advantage of the improvements in Castle’s software technology and thermal cooling capabilities with the addition of CRYO-DRIVE as well as a sleek new lightweight/heat conducting, anodized aluminum case. These improvements mean the Micro X2 can gear more aggressively, for more speed and harder/longer runs, at a higher input voltage! Also new to the Micro X2 is the addition of data logging. Users will be able to record real-time data such as motor RPM, battery ripple, ESC and motor temperature, throttle input, and more. Performance data from Data Logging allows users to make setup adjustments to maximize both performance and battery life. Mamba Micro X2 still sports the programmable Auxiliary Wire that allows users to make “on-the-go” adjustments to several settings such as torque control, and max throttle, and fine-tune the performance of the ESC right from their transmitter! The Mamba Micro X2 ESC is ready to run out of the box. They may also be “tuned” for the drivers’ preferences in the throttle curve, brake strength, reversing and reverse lock out modes, and more. Accessing these features is easy with the free Castle Link USB Adapter (coupon enclosed in box) and Castle’s simple programming interface on a Windows PC. There is also convenient transmitter programming for six common adjustable settings or optional smartphone-based programming with the B-LINK Bluetooth Adapter (sold separately) and the free Castle Link app on Google Play or Apple App Store. Don’t be fooled by the Mamba Micro X2 tiny footprint, this mighty mini has plenty of muscle and can handle power hungry applications with ease!

Works great in my Losi Mini-B. A little big and modified the chassis for a proper fit to leave an enough room depending on the battery being used. Only issue is the three wires (from ESC & Motor) aren’t labeled, but nothing major. They were easy enough to figure out

This is now 2nd micro motor that I got with lower KV, the first one the motor shaft snapped off and I wasn't even driving the car on the ground I just gave it a quick go before I set down to run and I heard a snap after 3 trigger pulls and now this one I ordered the solder came undone and not even sure I can fix. I pulled it from the esc properly and slow, to make sure this wouldn't happen and it did. I don't understand!! Castle is supposed to be reliable and trustworthy and most of all dependable!!!! I have been a customer for so many years and this is just ridiculous!!!! High price for constant issues. I'm so upset with this, iam once again left with put being able to use my RC car I have been working really hard on and the motor is the most important factor and it's making me feel I need to find a new brand and new place to find more reliable RC car motors!!!!!!

It will not work until you calibrate. Read the instructions. If something goes wrong, read my comments. At first I couldn't get it to work. Kept trying to calibrate. Then for some reason I did the calibration backwards. It worked, but no braking and forward went to instant reverse. Reverse was faster than forward. I realized I needed to switch A and C around and reverse the throttle channel on the remote. Calibrated perfect after that. Brakes work now. Reverse is proper only after brakes. It is crazy fast on 2s. Can't wait to try 3s.

I am running three of these systems between my minis, Mini-T 2.0 | Mini-b | Mini Drag with very minimal issues. I had trouble getting the esc to connect to my receiver on the combo purchased for my Mini Drag. I used the castle link to flash the esc to factory settings and the issue was solved. Outside of that, I have not had any issues with these as expected with castle products. 100% recommend these for your mini rigs. Stay away from that hobby wing trash..

I liked the great power. This smallest of three in the recommended 0808 series for my Typhon Grom pushed it past 50 mph on 3S before I snapped puny 2mm bore/shaft just trying wheelie flips. 17t pinion as recommended. Seemed very hot without fan whille they claim special technology so fan optional. Sent it in with form to upgrade. No personalized communication about backorder. I could just buy the motor I'd try on Amazon for $39 more. 🤔😒 Weeks with new Grom benced. No anticipated date. Nothing. Finally, the set costs, literally, 3-4 times other Grom/3S offering. All the superior quality and speed pretty useless when product unavailable ansd support is thin.
