My Mamba XL2 warranty replacement took about 15 days from the day I shipped it to them to me having a new one on my door step. Seems pretty good to me. I think they are getting more "on top" of the huge rush of XL recalls. I am pretty happy...

My XL2 did not go up in smoke. I had it in a brushless revo and encountered a low speed, but very sharp hit to the chassis from a ridge I did not see in the cement. It went from about 15mph to a dead stop instantly. My XL2 stopped working immediately from the sharp impact. Then later on the bench, trying to see if a connection on the esc failed....it did go up in smoke. Just a little bit...not a huge inferno.

But it was the low speed sharp impact that killed mine.

In my Baja 5t, I have had hundreds of impacts with no XL2 failures...so I kind of figure this failure was a fluke.... Castle took care of me in less than a couple weeks.

I am no fanboy...and I was super mad at them a year ago when i burned up 3 Version 1s and 2s..... But all seems much better now a year later with the XL2.
