Castle Creations is thrilled to introduce the Cobra 10, their 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 their 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.

SCT COMBO: 1410-3800kv 5mm shaft - Perfect for short course trucks running on 2s LiPo and weighing up to 6.5 lbs; it can be run on a 3s LiPo with very conservative gearing and keep a close eye on temperatures. It is a cooling running torque animal for lighter 1/10th scale 2WD stadium trucks and buggies running up to a 3s LiPo.

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.
Max. Recommended Vehicle Weight: Less than 5lbs/2.3kg, with batteries, ready-to-run with included 1406-4600Kv sensored motor.
Programmability: Fully programmable Castle feature set using the included FREE Castle Link V4 USB adapter and freely downloadable NEW Castle Link Windows software. (Windows 10+ required)
Castle Link Mobile App (B-Link): In development
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). / Their 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.

Tech Notes: Running modes: SMARTSENSE, Sensored only / Water Resistant Design: The sensor board is coated with silicone conformal coating to protect the sensors from moisture. The sensor connections are not water resistant; water can cause signal loss which could result in loss of sensored capabilities. Castle recommended applying dielectric grease to the outside of the sensor wire connections after installation of the wire. Routine maintenance is recommended after running in wet conditions.
