Castle Creations Cobra 10 6S Max 25.2V Max 8A Peak BEC ESC Speed Control

We're thrilled to introduce the Cobra 10, our next generation electronic speed controller (ESC) for surface applications.

The Cobra 10 boasts a state-of-the-art 32-bit, dual-core processor, ushering in a new era of precision and performance. Its enhanced data logging capabilities offer extended recording times, faster sampling rates, and a wealth of data points, enabling users to delve deeper into their vehicle's performance than ever before.

Crafted with a CNC aluminum bottom case, the Cobra 10 is engineered to endure the most rigorous conditions, ensuring reliability in every race or off-road adventure.

One of its defining features is our acclaimed CRYO-DRIVE™ technology, engineered to reduce operational temperatures, significantly prolonging the ESC's lifespan. Moreover, equipped with an impressive 8-amp BEC, the Cobra 10 can effortlessly power the most demanding servos, making it an indispensable ally in your high-performance setup.

We’ve packaged the Cobra 10 with 16 different Castle 4 -POLE 12-SLOT motor options to overpower a wide range of 1:10th scale vehicles.

NEW FEATURES:

32-Bit Processing power for smoother motor control and improved response time.
Enhanced Data Logging includes:
Double the maximum sample frequency of older generations.
8x increased logging time of older generations.
Data point for ESC electrical motor timing.
Data point for acceleration via onboard accelerometer.
Looping feature prevents interruptions in data log recording.
Ability to download specific sessions.
Hill Hold feature
Incredibly strong drag brake enhancement feature for rock crawling. Eliminates any creep or movement of the motor on an incline.
Additional tuning features include:
Improved braking adjustability
Separate brake and reverse curves
Highly adjustable internal BEC. (5.0V - 8.0V adjustable in 0.1V increments)
Access to tuning options and firmware updates for free with Castle Link V4 USB programmer included with purchase. Now with USB-C connector! (Requires Windows 10 or higher)
Mounting holes located in bottom of aluminum case for installation into vehicle. (Mounting template available under resources)

Product Use Statements:
Not intended for drag racing applications.

*Although Cobra 10 is waterproof, it is not intended for operation while completely submerged in liquid. Always rinse the ESC and motor with clean water after exposure to corrosives or dirt. While the motor and controller may be waterproof, we suggest users confirm that the rest of their vehicle, including the batteries, servos, radio and chassis are also waterproof before exposing them to liquids of any kind.

**The cooling fan must be removed prior to driving in wet conditions. It is not waterproof.

Tech Tips:
Cobra 10 setups frequently hit 100+ amps in peaks and not all LiPos are created equal. Surge ratings should never be used to determine a pack's suitability for a brushless application. Recommended battery capacity for 1:10th and 1:8th scale vehicles is 5000mAh. We recommend using 30C continuous discharge or higher LiPo batteries (or high quality 25C batteries such as Traxxas® Power Cell).
Our experience suggests using only mild gear ratios with NiMH cells. Do not attempt to use NiMH cells in extreme setups.
Applying voltages higher than 25.2V will cause irreparable damage to ESC.
