OK, so last night was spent soldering up some connectors (XT60 and 4mm CC bullets) and refreshing my memory on how to set up the Mamba X using the Castle Link.
I also contacted Holmes Hobbies with a settings list, asking if they thought it would be proper for a Revolver motor, and they directed me to this INCREDIBLY helpful video (Many thanks, Justin from HH!):

After viewing that, and including some things I'd picked up regarding the Auxiliary Wire function of the Mamba X, I used the following settings - please remember, I am using a SENSORLESS motor here ~
Basic:
Cutoff Voltage Auto Li-Po (Default)
Auto-Lipo Volts/Cell 3.5 Volts/Cell
Reverse Type With Reverse (Default)
BEC Voltage 8.0V
Idle/Error Beep Disable 4
Brake Amount 50% (Default)
Drag Brake 30.0%
Power:
Start Power High
Max Power 100% (Default)
Reverse Percentage 100%
Punch Control 30%
Torque Control Value 0
Torque Control Electrical Motor kV Not Determined
Advanced:
Arming Time 1.5s (Default)
Auxiliary Wire Mode 96
Link Live Enable Disabled (Default)
Throttle Dead Band Average (0.1000 ms) (Default)
Full Reverse 1.048 ms
Neutral 1.479 ms
Full Forward 1.910 ms
Motor:
Motor Direction Normal (Default)
Motor Type Smart Sense™ Brushless (Default), Checkbox: False
Sensorless Motor Timing Lowest (0)
Motor Temperature Cutoff Disabled (Default)
Logging:
Data Log Enabled 2047
Sample Frequency 5 Sample / Sec (Default)
Automatic Data Reset Disabled (100%) (Default)
For the Throttle Curve, per JRH's video I used a curve made by placing one point at 20% up the graph at 50% throttle input.
No Brake Curve setting was used, left it linear.
I have also decided that I will not be using my Futaba 3PV for this go-round on the Bomber, as the receiver for it only takes 7.4v - I wanted to deliver max BEC power from the Mamba X (8.0v) to the ProModeler 470 servo, and the FlySky receiver will take 8.4v - which is the same as what the ProModeler will take at a maximum.
The Futaba tx/rx combo will be used on the other Bomber build, as it will be using direct 3S power for the HH SHV500 v1 servo, and I can reduce the BEC power from the Mamba Monster X in that build to 7.0v for the Futaba R203GF receiver and a couple GearHeadRC lightbars.
It was entertaining and very easy programming the CC Mamba X, so much so that I went ahead and programmed the Mamba Monster X for the other build while I was at it.
Both needed to have the firmware upgraded to the new 2.02 version, so that I could use the new Rock Racer / Crawler Mode setting for the Aux Wire - I'd bought them both quite some time ago, before that firmware was released.
I even got to use my nifty 3D-printed Castle Link protective housing that I got on ShapeWays, it's just the coolest little thing, Castle needs to just pay the creator and either include them with the Link or at least sell them - it even has the Castle "C" logo, and is bright blue, the Castle color.
One other thing I found out while doing this - all you need is the ESC, the Link, and a USB cable to program - no battery or radio needs to be connected.
Nice to be able to do all this before the ESC is buried in the Bomber cage! "thumbsup"
I do have a Castle Quick Connect Duo cable, which will allow me to connect the Castle Link in the field without unplugging the ESC from the receiver, so when I go on my first real crawl on the Bomber, my HP Stream 7 Windows 10 tablet (bought specifically for this purpose for $70 long ago) will be in my backpack, to allow me to make programming changes without returning home...
Here's the programming in action - and the blue Castle Link case, you can see the green light showing proper connection through it - as well as the motor connectors and XT60+ connector that I finally got around to doing:
