The Monster is finally here!

Long rumored, occasionally seen at trade shows, Castle’s elusive 1/8th scale Monster Brushless ESC is finally available to the public. Castle has used all of their tricks to deliver stunning power for monster trucks and 1/8th buggy conversions.
 

The Monster handles up to 6S LIPO input (25.2 Volts MAX). It has a switching BEC circuit onboard to provide plenty of power for your receiver and servos. Don’t worry about the amp rating, nothing even comes close to the real world performance of the Castle controllers, and Monster is no exception. We’ve hit 60 mph with RC vehicles that have absolutely no business doing 60 mph. (And we were doing it in a 20 mph zone!)
 

Monster is designed to keep its cool while it pounds your truck. Castle refused to cut corners on the design or the components, the electronic and thermodynamic fundamentals are right to begin with. Castle then wrings a bit more power out by using a high efficiency heat sink PLUS an integrated cooling fan to make sure you finish the race. Thermals are for the other guys.
 

Monster ESCs come with huge 6.5mm gold plated bullet connectors for reliable power transfer and simple installation. We’ve even thrown in a USB adapter so you can tame the Monster by adjusting the really useful settings using your Windows PC.
 

OK, so you’re asking, “What motor do I run it with, where’s the Castle motor for this thing?”

They are on the way, honest! The long wait is nearly over. You don’t want to know how many prototype motors we’ve tortured in the testing of this Monster. The work has all paid off with these incredible motors. Based on Steve Neu’s awesome 15 series motor, the Neu Castle 2200 and 2650 are works of mechanical art. They both feature high quality bearings and Neodymium magnets, superior electromagnetic design, and rigorous engineering control in our own factory result in a Monster motor we can put our name on.
 

Two choices are on the way.

2650 KV – Intended for 4S (16.8 Volt) operation. Ideal for 1/8th conversions. The 2650 is 67mm long.

2200 KV – Intended for 6S (25.2 Volt) operation. Incredible in monster trucks with up to 6S lipo packs. The 2200 is 75mm long. This is the bad boy!

Both motors come with a Neo rotor on a 5mm shaft as standard, not as an optional upgrade. Castle uses high end bearings for trouble free operation, and we’ve machined integrated cooling fins for that extra bit of power. These motors are 4 pole, slotted, brushless motors wound with 1 turn in a Y configuration.

New Mamba Max Pro 1/10th Sensored & Sensorless ESC: Castle is Ready to ROAR

Castle, the leader in brushless technology for RC cars, is pleased to announce the release of our new Mamba Max Pro brushless ESC featuring SMARTSENSE™ operation. SMARTSENSE brings the best of sensored and sensorless ESC together to create the ideal controller for serious 1/10th scale enthusiasts. Operating at up to 6S, Mamba Max Pro can handle nearly twice the power of the market standard Mamba Max!

Castle Builds A Sensorless Controller?
Hey, we’re never going to just go with the flow, so we’ve built the best of both worlds into the new controller.

• SmartSense uses the motor sensors to start the motor and then it switches over to Castle’s ultra powerful and efficient dynamic sensorless mode which boosts motor efficiency. Simply put, you’ll get more power and less heat from your motor.
  
• Sensored Only mode runs sensored motors using sensored timing only.
  
• CHEAT MODE, Castle’s High Energy Advanced Timing allows users to electronically advance their sensored motor’s timing to extreme settings. This can often yield just that extra bit of power needed to win the race. Be careful – there’s never a free lunch, extra power comes with extra motor heat!

OK, now I’m confused. Is Sensored better than Sensorless?
The answer is that for most users, Sensorless operation is still better.

• Castle’s Sensorless controllers offer best in class start up and braking which are fine for most users. Sensored only motor operation cannot deliver maximum efficiency.
  
• Sensors are terribly inaccurate for motor timing purposes as the motor’s magnetic fields change under load or at speed; that’s where Sensorless operation shines.
  
• Sensorless is also just more dependable. There are fewer wires and connections that need to survive the incredibly rough treatment most RC cars and trucks endure.

Some guys do need sensored operation, mainly because the racing world’s rules require it, but also because it can offer slightly better start up and braking performance. Mamba Max Pro offers the ultimate in flexibility: use it with all your 1/10th motors, sensored or sensorless!

I’m over the shock of the sensor port. Tell me what else you’ve packed into the Mamba Max Pro.

• 6S (25.2 volts) max input voltage
   
• Switching BEC powers your radio and servo all the way up to the 6S max input. Users may select the output for any voltage between 5V and 7V.
   
• Durable case and cooling fan to protect and cool the controller during hard off-road action
   
• Ready to Run: Mamba Max Pro is ready to run out of the box.
   
• Castle Link Compatible: Like all Castle controllers, the Mamba Max Pro may also be “tuned” for the drivers’ preferences in the throttle curve, brake strength, reversing modes and more. Access these features with the CASTLE LINK USB connector (available separately) and a PC for even more versatility.

Mamba Max Pro is available individually or in combos with Castle’s top quality CM36 4600kv, 5700kv, 6900kv, 7700kv, or 9000kv 36mm brushless motors.

Castle Creations, Inc. warrants this product to be free from manufacturing defects for a period of one year from date of purchase.

Five motors based on Steve Neu’s awesome 15 series motors, and the brand new Castle 1717 motor are works of mechanical art. They feature high quality oversized bearings, sintered Neodymium magnets, superior electromagnetic design, and rigorous engineering control in our own factory resulting in a Monster motor we can put our name on.

Neu-Castle 1512 1.5Y 1800kv motor is ideal for 1/8 buggies. More controllability than the 2650kv.

Neu-Castle 1512 1Y 2650kv motor is great for 4s buggies.

Neu-Castle 1515 1Y 2200kv motor is made for up to 6s Monster trucks.

Neu-Castle 1518 1Y 1800kv motor is perfect for Monster trucks and offers more controllability and torque than the higher kv 2200.

Neu-Castle 1520 1Y 1600kv motor is ideal for Monster trucks. This is the bad boy! Think in terms of a chipped turbo diesel...

Castle Creations' 1717 1580kv motor is great for Monster truck, truggy, and muggy applications. Higher torque and lower RPM than the 1515.

The efficiency of a motor determines its quality. Higher efficiency means better design and high quality components. The higher the efficiency of the motor the more power it can produce before it overheats. Here’s a little math, we promise it won’t hurt. Say you are laying down 1,000 watts, (about 1 ¼ horsepower), and your motor is 70% efficient. That means you are turning 300 watts into heat. Ever grab a 300 watt light bulb? If the motor is 85% efficient it only burns 150 watts as heat. More power goes to the wheels and the motor runs cooler and able to put out even more power when needed.

Mamba Monster systems typically pull 4,000-5,000 watts (5 to 6 horsepower) under acceleration. These motors are some of the highest efficiency motors that we have ever tested; they are up to 85%+ efficient on our test rig. The more common Asian motors tend to show in the mid to high 70’s. At those power levels, one single point equals about 50 watts of heat! You know that soldering iron on your workbench? It’s maxed out at 50 watts. That’s a lot of heat; now consider wasting several times that much heat inside your vehicle. These motors can therefore put out significantly more power for longer periods than less efficient motors. Go ahead, run the motor you have on the shelf, we have a feeling you will find its heat limits quickly.
