Looks like there will be a Mamba Monster X sometime, but no Mamba XL X HV yet. Maybe it's just not renamed yet :)

And what the heck is the Dive X ICE HV 60? An ESC for those propeller things that pull you through the water? Cool...

Dive X is not Castle related -- we've made controllers for Dive X for years -- totally different market.


Mamba Monster X is on the cusp of release. Hoping to release to production this week.

Mamba X is further down the pipe.

Monster X is an exciting project and a terrific product.

Adds:

Data logging, including high accuracy current measurements
Torque control through closed-loop current control
Higher current handling than Mamba Monster
Smaller footprint than Mamba Monster
Full busbar design -- lowers heat generation at very high current
Latest sub-milliohm MOSFETs and high ripple current capacitors

All in all, it will be the highest power density controller available. Really proud of the work all the engineers at Castle put into this new controller.

Pictures to come...

Also --

Fully waterproof
Sensor harness (for those of you who like sensors!)
Aux radio input to tune parameters WHILE driving
Ultra high power (8A continuous!) BEC
Programmable BEC output voltage
Temperature controlled high RPM fan

And probably some other stuff I can't remember off the top of my head...
