Castle Mamba X

[racer504]

Is anyone using a Castle Mamba X in a P boat? If so, is someone making a cooling plate for them?
I'm looking at this esc for use in a P boat but I would like something physically smaller than an XLX2.
TIA

X 8S yes in p sport hydro. I had to move to xlx2 in my mono. Stumpfab and Don Huff make cooling plates.

Castle currently makes two different Hydra ESCs...one based on the XLX2, and one based on the somewhat-smaller Mamba Monster X 8S. For size comparison, the XLX2 based Hydra is approx 101mm x 63m x 34mm, whereas the MMX-8S based Hydra is only (approx) 69mm x 54mm x 25mm.

Both are 8S capable. The MMX-8S version has a 6A BEC, while the XLX2 version has a 20A BEC. If you want to compare them, here's the URLs to Castle's own pages:
