Speed Control Programming Instructions
The Castle Creations Mamba Max speed control should not need
reprogramming with normal use. However, if you install a different
radio system in your model, or change the transmitter's throttle-neutral
setting from 50/50 to 70/30, you will need to reprogram the speed
control. Follow these instructions to reprogram the speed control:
1. Install the batteries of your choice in the battery compartments and
plug the batteries into the speed control.
2. Switch on your transmitter.
3. Hold full throttle while you switch on the Mamba Monster controller.
After a few seconds, you will hear multiple tones and the
RED LED will light.
4. Hold full brake. After a few seconds, you will hear multiple tones
and the YELLOW LED will light.
5. Release the trigger to the neutral position. After a few seconds,
you will hear multiple tones and ALL THE LEDs will light.

a double-tone. You are now ready to drive.
Disconnect Batteries After Use
Always disconnect the batteries from the speed control when
you are finished using your vehicle. The switch on the speed control
only shuts off power to the receiver and servos. The speed control
continues to draw power as long as it is plugged in and may over-
discharge your batteries if they are left connected to the speed control.
