DYNAMIC DUO OF POWER: CASTLE COBRA 5 AND COBRA 5 ACE

Some things are just better in pairs—like precision and performance, power and control, or speed and stability. Introducing the Castle Cobra 5 and its high-performance counterpart, the Ghost RC Cobra 5 ACE, two ESCs engineered to dominate every race, jump, and high-speed pass.

Cobra 5: Power Meets Precision

Building on the success of the COBRA 10 and COBRA 8, we are excited to announce the release of the all-new COBRA 5, engineered for 1/7th and 1/5th scale high-performance RC applications! The COBRA 5 is designed to deliver precision, durability, and unmatched power-handling capabilities

New tuning parameters include adjustable braking curves and independent reverse settings to reduce the risk of broken gears, snapped driveshafts, and blown differentials, all while experiencing smoother transitions. Users will feel a more realistic and predictable driving experience while saving their drivetrain from unnecessary stress.

Whether tweaking the suspension or altering tire pressure, data-driven decisions lead to optimal performance in an R/C vehicle, and the COBRA SERIES enhanced data logging includes double the maximum sample frequency of older generations, providing more granular data for analyzing performance. Gone are the days of clearing data logs—users will experience increased logging time and enjoy the new looping feature that prevents interruptions in recording. New data points for ESC electrical motor timing and acceleration via the onboard accelerometer provide insight into needed adjustments to detect tire slippage or fine-tune motor efficiency.

Access to tuning options, data logs, and firmware updates for the COBRA SERIES ESCs is available at no charge using the Castle Link V4 USB adapter included in the box and Castle Link 2 software, available for download on the Castle Creations website.

The COBRA 5 is packed with a potent combination of hardware and software advancements, making it an indispensable ally in high-performance power systems. Users will benefit from the same footprint as its predecessor, the Mamba XLX2, while an upgraded current-sensing and thermal protection system actively mitigates the risk of failure in aggressive or high-load setups. The COBRA 5 is available to purchase as an ESC-only option or packaged with three Castle 4-POLE 12-SLOT motor options to overpower a wide range of 1/7th and 1/5th scale vehicles

COBRA 5 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, ESC electrical motor timing data, Acceleration data via onboard accelerometer AND A Looping feature TO prevent interruptions in data log recording.
Additional tuning features include Improved braking adjustability, Separate brake and reverse curves AND A Highly adjustable internal BEC. (5.0V - 8.5V adjustable in 0.1V increments)
Access to tuning options and firmware updates for free with Castle Link V4 USB programmer included with purchase.
UPDATED CASTLE LINK 2 SOFTWARE INTERFACE- A COMPLETELY NEW LAYOUT THAT BOASTS A MORE USER FRIENDLY EXPERIENCE.
Cobra 5 offers smart current tracking and thermal balancing to actively mitigate the risk of failure in aggressive or high-load setups —ideal for those pushing limits without sacrificing reliability.
