Castle Creations COBRA 8, 6S MAX ESC CC010-0172-00

Castle Creations Cobra 8 ESC

Introducing the Cobra 8, Castle's next-generation electronic speed controller (ESC) for surface applications. Engineered with cutting-edge technology, the Cobra 8 is tailored specifically for 1:8th scale vehicles weighing up to 6.8 kg (15 lbs). Note: The Cobra 8 ESC is not intended for drag racing applications.

Powered by a 32-bit dual-core processor, the Cobra 8 delivers smoother motor control, improved response time, and enhanced precision. Advanced data logging provides extended recording times, faster sampling rates, and detailed performance metrics, allowing users to gain deeper insights into their vehicle's performance.

Crafted with a CNC aluminum bottom case, the Cobra 8 is built to endure rigorous conditions. Its CRYO-DRIVE technology reduces operational temperatures, prolonging ESC lifespan, and an 8-amp BEC ensures even the most demanding servos are powered efficiently.
