Castle 5th scale -
10.25.2010, 11:29 AM
Don't know if I am late or not but thought this might be of interest. Castle showed off their 5th scale stuff at iHobby. 8s to drop soon with 10s a little after that.

As for my self I knew about a "big" esc, but I did not know anything about a 3 pound motor and, not to mention, the conversion kit for the 5B.
So, all in all great news and 1/5 electric is back with a vangeance. German FG had a 1/5 scale electric some years ago but the car was quickly discontinued - if I remember correctly. Maybe FG will release the car again?  Best Regards GreatDane

It's a beast. Our test Baja goes 0-50mph in about 2 seconds. Tires are a big problem, as they are treadless after about 5 minutes of runtime on pavement. Fun fun fun!!! President, Principle Engineer Castle Creations |

 I LOVE the metal casing/heatsink that attaches to the chassis! I've wished the MMM was like that for a long time. It looks great Mr. Patrick! That motor of course is huge! |

Patrick,
The article said the Mamba XL is available now and the motor and mount are coming in a couple of weeks, I've gone looking for the ESC on your site and your resellers with no luck (aside from pending orders but no stock). Is it actually on the market? I saw this setup at AUVSI and I've been itching to setup my Baja 5T with it ever since. |

Patrick it looks awesome! I can't wait to build one my self, I have heard that it puts so much power out you can do burn outs and literally burn the stock tires of the Baja in less than two minutes.
Castle always does a great job creating new things for the hobby! |

Does the 5B need front and rear mechanical brakes to stop, or does the default rearbrakes provide sufficient stopping power?
Thanks! Best Regards GreatDane c'',) |
