Castle 5th scale

Hi all, what about the BEC of Mamba XL ?

I've read its capable of 5 ampere, so I wonder whether I've to use the ESC without external BEC or not (initially I would use the ESC with 6s only on a 1717)

Bye, Andrea.

Yes, I know and this is the same for the internal BEC of Mamba Monster, however, with the Monster, I do prefer to use en external BEC when I go with 6s.

My question was if I should do the same with the XL.

Bye, Andrea

The BEC seems as strong as the MMM - had no issues with RX dropping or Servo losing power

Can the MMM deliver 5A over the BEC? I thought for some reason the BEC in the XL could deliver more current then the BEC in the MMM but I may be off base.

Hi guys, do You know what's happened with Mamba XL sale ?

I mean, on Castle site there is now a direct link for 2038 motor, while the page for Mamba XL is not reachable from "products for driving" section (it can be find only through a search within Castle), besides on that page the option for "buy it" has been removed.

I realized that at least on user of the Forum has received the combo, so I'm a bit puzzled about the real status of the product.

Bye, Andrea.

well I think its just not the time for the official release....on the other sales pages from the link bellow they are also not in stock, but it seems you will have to be a bit more patient.
Or you can buy from Castle directly using their phoneservice like the one on this board did.

The initial run of XL ESCs was 250 (per Patrick) so I expect they are running low on stock and since it hasn't been officially released yet they are not allowing too many orders to stack up. I don't think the motors require assembly in the states but the ESCs do at least in part.

Does it means that the full initial stock will be available at Castle only ?

I'm asking this because almost all online store doesn't have the XL in stock (including big names like Tower)

Bye.
