Overview Clean up your wiring and secure your electronics with the Power Hobby Side Mounting Bracket for Castle Creations Mamba XLX2 ESC. Designed specifically for the Castle Creations Mamba XLX2 — the company's flagship 1/5 scale ESC rated for 3S–8S LiPo and vehicles up to 42 lbs — this side-mount bracket allows you to install the ESC in a vertical orientation, ideal for tight chassis layouts, custom builds, or improved airflow management. Precision-machined for a secure, rattle-free fit, this mount provides a professional-looking installation while keeping your ESC firmly in place during high-power operation, where vibration and chassis flex can otherwise loosen factory mounts. Key Features Custom side-mount design purpose-built for Castle Creations Mamba XLX2 Vertical ESC orientation — ideal for compact or non-traditional layouts Helps tidy wiring and improve airflow around the heatsink Durable construction for high-power RC applications Precision fit — secure, stable, vibration-resistant Performance Benefits Mounting the Mamba XLX2 on its side frees up valuable chassis real estate and improves airflow around the ESC's 50mm cooling fan and forged elliptical fin heatsink — both critical to thermal performance in high-power 6S–8S setups. This bracket gives builders a clean, reliable solution for optimizing layout and appearance without compromising durability. Usage Notes Best for 1/5 scale and large 1/8 scale builds running the Mamba XLX2. The XLX2 is designed for vehicles up to 42 lbs (such as Losi DBXL-E, Arrma Kraton 8S, Traxxas X-Maxx).
