PRODUCT UPDATE: MAMBA MICRO X2
Important Product Update, 6/14/2023.
The internal BEC is back! All Micro X2s made on or after June 2023 will again have the internal BEC. You can check the date of manufacture on the side of the ESC box or on the ESCs receiver wire. ESCs made between August 2022 and May 2023 do not have an internal BEC and include an external 10-amp CC BEC.
An ongoing supply chain disruption has affected our ability to manufacture the MAMBA MICRO X2 and SIDEWINDER MICRO 2 controllers for the past five months. The components which are unavailable pertain to the on board adjustable 2-amp BEC (battery eliminator circuit) feature. We have determined, until such time that the part is widely available again (up to 12 months), to remove the on-board BEC feature from the MAMBA MICRO X2 and discontinue manufacturing the SIDEWINDER MICRO 2.
The CC BEC 10 AMP will be packaged with all Mamba Micro X2 ESC.
Going forward, the MAMBA MICRO X2 will include an external accessory BEC, the popular CASTLE 10-AMP CC BEC (010-0004-00), with every unit in lieu of the on-board BEC (a $24 value). The revised MAMBA MICRO X2 with no internal BEC will enter production in late August. The bundled CASTLE 10-AMP BEC will be included at no additional cost and the external BEC will be enclosed within the ESC packaging along with printed information regarding installation and use.
We are going to dive into how to fine-tune your gearing for speed (mostly) without cooking your ESC or motor—and how a few Castle “tools” make it easy to get it right!
