COBRA 10 - FROM THE TRAILS TO THE TRACK!

Making its debut this month, the Cobra 10 is tailored specifically for 1:10th scale vehicles, building upon the exceptional technology introduced with the Cobra 8. In this post we’ll take a look at the Cobra 10 features and what makes it stand out.

If you’d like to see the full 10th scale line-up in a comparison chart you can click here.

  • Cobra 10 is designed for use in 1:10 scale vehicles weighing up to 7lbs and 1:8 scale buggies geared for off road racing weighing up to 9lbs.

  • 32-Bit Processing power for smoother motor control and improved response time.

  • Improved thermal performance with CRYO-DRIVE™ technology.

  • Additional tuning features include:

    • HILL HOLD™feature enhancing drag brake strength for better grip on steep inclines.

    • Separate brake and reverse curves.

    • o   Highly adjustable internal BEC. (5.0V - 8.0V adjustable in 0.1V increments)

    • Brand new programming interface with CASTLE LINK V2

  • Enhanced Data Logging includes:

    • Double the maximum sample frequency of older generations.

    • 8x increased logging time of older generations

    • Max G-FORCE via onboard accelerometer.

    • Looping feature prevents interruptions in data log recording

  • Auxiliary wire functionality for "on-the-fly" adjustments using transmitter.

  • Improved motor pitch with outrunner motors.

  • Sensored Only, Brushed and SmartSense™ Running Modes.

  • Access to tuning options and firmware update FOR FREE with Castle Link V4 USB programmer included with purchase. (Now with USB-C connector, it does requires Windows 10 or higher)

  • Audible alerts for easy diagnosis of common issues such as motor-over-temperature and low-voltage cutoff.

  • Includes 250mm direct connect sensor wire, eliminating the need for the Castle Sensor harness adapter

  • ESC is housed in a rugged CNC aluminum case and potted in waterproof epoxy to protect the electronics and promote efficient heat transfer and all-weather usage.

  • Mounting holes located in bottom of aluminum case for installation into vehicle. (M2.5 threaded)

  • Extremely versatile - 16 different Castle 4 -POLE 12-SLOT motor options to overpower a wide range of 1:10th scale vehicles.

  • The COBRA 10 is proudly designed and manufactured in Olathe, Kansas, USA, and backed by the Castle Creations one-year warranty.

  • MORE POWER- COOLER TEMPS - LONGER RUNS

    Castle’s newest software technology, CRYO-DRIVE™ minimizes the amount of time the ESC's electrical components spend generating heat by optimally controlling which components are being used while driving the motor. This is happening thousands of times per second, which greatly reduces the rate at which the ESC heats up. This results in significantly improved thermal performance during partial throttle operation where the majority of driving occurs. Your setup will be able to handle higher gear ratios, in heavier vehicles, with longer runs.

  • Hill Hold is intended for use in rock crawling applications only! It is basically a drag brake on steroids. It allows the ESC to apply a MUCH stronger braking force to the motor than normal. This allows the motor to hold vehicles on a steeper incline than the normal drag brake would allow.
