• SmartSense, Sensored Only and Brushed Motor Operation Modes
• Powerful Integrated 8A Peak Adjustable BEC (5.0V – 8.0V)
• CRYO-DRIVE 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 aluminium 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 25mm 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

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.

When paired with a Castle 4-POLE 12-SLOT SENSORED MOTOR SmartSense software, enabled by default in the Castle Link Programming Suite, will use the motor’s sensors to provide smooth starts, excellent torque, and low-speed drivability. Once the motor is turning, it seamlessly transitions to Castle’s ULTRA-EFFICIENT sensorless mode with electric timing. Smooth sensored startups and high-efficiency sensorless running makes the COBRA 10 system produce more power and less heat. QUIETSENSE is an innovative advancement in the design of sensored motors to deliver the highest precision and most efficient startup.

The COBRA 10 allows “on-the-fly” adjustments to be made through the AUX wire once enabled in Castle Link. Once you have selected an AUX wire function, that setting can then be tuned from your transmitter while driving. Torque control, max throttle, max brake and drag brake adjustments are a sampling of the available modes. This real-time tuning allows you to quickly and easily fine-tune your system.

The COBRA 10 contains NEW DATA LOGGING FEATURES:

• 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.

You can view a detailed turn-by-turn record of what your ESC actually experienced during the run. You will be able to record real-time data such as motor RPM, battery current and voltage, ESC and motor temperature, throttle input, and more. Download and analyze the collected data via Castle Link and make adjustments to maximize both performance and battery life.

For over 25 years Castle engineers have been setting the bar for industry leading software functionality. The Castle Link Programming Suite is your ticket to creating the perfect setup. To gain access to the host of tuning parameters download the BRAND NEW simple to install software from the Castle Creations website and you are ready to personalize your controller’s settings. Requires Windows 10 or higher.

The COBRA 10 is housed in a rugged CNC-machined aluminium case and then potted in waterproof epoxy. This not only protects the electronics but ensures any heat generated in the controller can easily be dissipated through the case.

COBRA 10 features Audible Alerts that will notify you, via audible chimes, of possible issues with calibrations and error conditions to help diagnose problems.
