i found this.

"There is no doubt the hottest thing at the Castle Creations booth was their new Mamba Maxx brushed/brushless ESC. This new controller is ideal for the Traxxas E-Maxx and Kyosho Twin Force, but can be used for any application where insane power is needed. The Mamba Maxx can run on a minimum of 6 cells, or up to 16. If you want to go all out, you can run 2-4s lithium polymer (LiPo's) packs. The power capability is 2400 watts peak, and 1200 watts continuous. According to the guys at Castle Creations, you'll actually blow the motor before you blow the ESC. Talk of a Castle Creations brushless motor has been mentioned due to the currently tested selection of brushless motors not being able to handle the power that the Mamba Maxx is capable of flowing. Rotor demagnification was the most common cause of failure. The controller has an estimated price of $250 and should be available August 2005. TRCZ was the first to announce the arrival of this new ESC over 6 months before its official release. The original discussion can be read by clicking here."

they also said this:

"Castle Creations, the makers of the famous Mamba-25 1/18th brushless system, have been working hard on a 1/10th Mamba. Over a year of testing and designing has gone in to the new systems, and should be out soon. The Mamba Max will feature built-in USB port for use with the Castle Link, external solder points, the ability to run both brushed and brushless motors, no motor limit, and up to 16 NiCD/NiMH cells or 4s Lithium Polymer batteries! The Monster Max, designed for monster trucks such as the E-Maxx, will include the same ESC but with a different heat sink setup, and a motor that is twice as long as the Mamba Max motor (shown above)! This huge motor will have a lot of magnetic surface area, which translates to a ton of torque and speed! Did I mention it's waterproof too? To my amazement, I learned that the Mamba-25, Mamba Max, Monster Max, and Barraccuda ESC's are all waterproof! You can be sure to see a Monster Max in my E-Maxx very soon!"
