We’re thrilled to introduce the Cobra 8, our next generation electronic speed controller (ESC) for surface applications. As the inaugural product in a new line, the Cobra 8 is engineered with cutting-edge technology tailored specifically for 1:8th scale vehicles weighing up to 15 lbs. The Cobra 8 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 8 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 8 can effortlessly power the most demanding servos, making it an indispensable ally in your high-performance setup. 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. Additional tuning features include. Separate brake and reverse curves. Highly adjustable internal BEC. (5.0V – 8.0V adjustable in 0.1V increments). Now with USB-C connector! (Requires Windows 10 or higher). Mounting holes located in bottom of aluminum case for installation into vehicle. Input Voltage Range 6.0v – 25.2v (2s – 6s LiPo) (4x max with included motor). SmartSenseT, Sensored Only and Brushed Motor Operation Modes. Powerful Integrated 8A Peak Adjustable BEC (5.00V – 8.0V). CRYO-DRIVET Technology minimizes the amount of time the ESC’s electrical components spend generating heat, resulting in improved thermal performance during partial throttle operation where the majority of driving occurs. ESC is housed in a rugged CNC aluminum case and potted in waterproof epoxy to protect the electronics and promote efficient heat transfer. Premium forged heatsink with elliptical fins for superior air flow and increased heat dissipation. Oversized factory equipped thermally controlled 30mm cooling fan. Waterproof design for all weather conditions. Data logging capability to capture and record performance data from your vehicle. Auxiliary wire functionality for “on-the-fly” adjustments using your transmitter. Audible alerts for easy diagnosis of common issues such as motor-over-temperature and low-voltage cutoff. Convenient transmitter programming for six common adjustable settings including cutoff voltage and drag brake. Includes Castle Link V4 USB adapter for Windows 10+. 4-POLE 12-SLOT sensored design that boasts exceptional efficiency and produces less heat. Proprietary stator winding produces low internal resistance for a cooler running motor. Dual sensor ports to ensure optimal installation in your large-scale vehicle. Oversized NMB bearings and vibration dampening system ensure the longest possible bearing life. High-strength, high-temperature grade neodymium sintered magnets combined with high-strength Kevlar wrap ensures the integrity of the rotor is not compromised during harsh running conditions and high RPMs. Castle Link V4 USB Adapter. 300mm Direct Connect Sensor Wire.
