Description

Castle is thrilled to partner with Ghost RC in releasing the Cobra 8 ACE. The Cobra 8 ACE is built on our Cobra 8 ESC but with enhanced drag racing features and beefed up to handle the extreme conditions of drag racing. It is engineered with cutting-edge technology tailored specifically for 1/10th Drag Racing vehicles.

Tech Note: An external capacitor pack must be used with the Ghost RC Cobra 8 ACE. Failure to use an external capacitor pack will affect ESC performance and can lead to damage.
