Castle Creations COBRA8, 4S MAX W/1512-1800KV SENSORED MOTOR COMBO CC010-0172-01

Castle Creations Cobra 8 ESC

Introducing the Cobra 8, Castle's next-generation electronic speed controller (ESC) for surface applications. As the inaugural product in a new line, the Cobra 8 is engineered with cutting-edge technology specifically for 1:8th scale vehicles weighing up to 6.8 kg (15 lbs).

Featuring a state-of-the-art 32-bit dual-core processor, the Cobra 8 provides unmatched precision and performance. Enhanced data logging offers extended recording times, faster sampling rates, and detailed performance metrics, allowing users to analyze their vehicle like never before.

Crafted with a CNC aluminum bottom case, the Cobra 8 is designed to withstand the toughest conditions. Its acclaimed CRYO-DRIVE technology reduces operational temperatures, significantly prolonging ESC lifespan, while the integrated 8-amp BEC powers even the most demanding servos.

The Cobra 8 package includes three Castle 4-pole 12-slot motor options. This setup comes with a Castle 1512-1800Kv sensored brushless motor, ready to deliver top-tier performance for 1:8th scale off-road and on-road vehicles, as well as 1:10 scale 4WD SCT vehicles up to 4 kg (9 lbs).
