Overview

Other aftermarket ESC plates require double-sided tape to retain your valuable Castle Mamba X 8S ESC. Our ESC Cage for the Traxxas X-Maxx provides a solid, positive mount, locking your valuable ESC in place. Dual clamp plates prevent a massive slam from ejecting the ESC. Additionally, our cage allows the ESC to be run with or without a fan. It encases the ESC body only, leaving the fan free for easy removal for wet running. Furthermore, we left the front, rear and sides of the ESC open to allow critical air movement. This helps keep the ESC cool. An encased on / off switch mount and antenna relocation plate are also included.

Each RPM ESC Cage is molded in black and manufactured from our ridiculously tough blend of engineering grade nylons. Each ESC Cage is backed by our limited lifetime warranty against breakage. Don’t trust your investment to double-sided tape or zip ties.

Tech Notes:

The RPM ESC Cage for the Mamba X 8S ESC works with Castle ESCs from the following Castle part numbers: #010-0165-00 & #010-0165-01. Our ESC Cage is guaranteed to fit the Traxxas X-Maxx running the stock #7724 Traxxas Receiver Box Lid and #7714 Chassis Support Braces only.

Motor and Motor Mount Notes:

If the Castle Mamba X 8S ESC is used with a stock or stock replacement motor, no further aftermarket parts are required. Big block motors require an aftermarket motor mount. RPM has tested and guarantees the fit of our ESC Cage with motors with a maximum length of 4.44” (112.7mm) such as the Castle #060-0064-00 2028-800KV sensored motor but only when used with an Afrolucha #18010 motor mount. Almost any motor mount will work. However, the distance from the rear chassis mounting screws to the motor mounting surface must be no shorter than .126” (3.2mm) or if the motor is shorter than 4” (101.6mm).
