ESC Overview:
The Monster X ACE No Prep Drag ESC, by Castle Creations, is engineered to deliver high-performance and precision control for 1/10 No Prep Drag racing enthusiasts. With its foundation based on the proven Mamba Monster X 6S, this ESC incorporates specialized features to dominate 2S No Prep Drag setups. Designed for peak reliability and power transfer, this ESC is tailored to meet the extreme demands of drag racing.
Built to endure the harshest conditions, the Monster X ACE is water and element-proof, ensuring durability in all environments. With upgrades like eight-AWG wiring, increased cheat timing capability, and rapid temperature cutoff disabled, this ESC provides the competitive edge necessary to excel on the track!
Motor Overview:
The Castle Creations 1412-6400kV Sensored 4-Pole Brushless Motor is a mid RPM design developed specifically for 2S No Prep RC drag racing. 12awg wire and 6.5mm bullet connectors have been combined with an application specific design that allows this motor to create big torque and high watt output. During the design phase, Castle went with a slightly different approach than current motors on the market. Most no prep motors are standard 540 size with very high kv (low turn). These motors rely on high RPM and low torque to push the car down the track (think turbo charged 4 cylinder). The 1412 is longer than most drag motors, which provides significantly more torque, acceleration, and cooler temps (think American Muscle). This results in a high horsepower, snappy, cool running motor. Your final drive ratio will need to be decreased (larger pinion/smaller spur) to get the RPMs up for top speed; due to the size of the motor it will take just about any gearing and CHEAT timing you can throw at it!
SMARTSENSE uses the motors sensors to start the motor to provide smooth starts, excellent torque, and low-speed drivability. Once the motor is turning, it seamlessly transitions to Castle’s ULTRA- EFFICIENT Sensored mode. When running, a motor must transition between different load points and a different timing advance is required for optimal efficiency at all load points. Using mechanical timing adjustments alone, you can only target one driving condition, such as higher start power or higher top end speed. This sacrifices performance and efficiency during the other driving phases. Electronic timing in SMARTSENSE will advance timing automatically for peak performance during all driving conditions. This allows users to combine the best of both worlds in an unrivaled HYBRID between smooth sensored startups and high-efficiency drive.
NOTE:
- Installation of a capacitor pack is required for drag racing applications
- Please note that while the ESC is capable of handling incredible amounts of power, it is only recommended to run this combo on 2S when Drag Racing!
- Always run your motor within the manufacturer’s specs
- Use of QS8 or 8mm bullets high current battery connector is required!
- Applying voltages higher than 14.8 V will cause irreparable damage to your controller, voiding the warranty
- Not intended for operation while submerged in liquid
- Sensor wire must be used to utilize the motors capabilities
