About the Cobra 5 ESC
Advanced Performance and Data Logging
The Cobra 5 introduces enhanced data logging capabilities, doubling the sample frequency of previous models while increasing logging time by eight times. The addition of ESC electrical motor timing data and an onboard accelerometer provides deeper performance insights, allowing users to fine-tune their setups with precision. An updated looping feature ensures continuous recording, preventing data loss and interruptions during critical runs.
Precision Braking and Tuning Control
With adjustable braking curves and independent reverse settings, the Cobra 5 minimizes drivetrain stress and enhances vehicle control. These improvements reduce the risk of snapped driveshafts and blown differentials while providing smoother throttle transitions. The highly adjustable internal BEC (ranging from 5.0V to 8.5V in 0.1V increments) offers flexibility to optimize power delivery for servos and other electronics.
Extreme Durability and Thermal Protection
Built for durability, the Cobra 5 features a rugged CNC aluminum case, waterproof epoxy sealing, and CRYO-DRIVE™ technology to minimize heat buildup. A premium forged heatsink with elliptical fins ensures superior airflow, while the oversized 50mm cooling fan actively regulates temperature. Combined with upgraded current-sensing and thermal protection, this ESC withstands aggressive, high-load driving conditions without compromising performance.

Garrett Delaune Verified Owner Friday, Apr 4 2025 (6 months ago) Castle Creations Cobra 5 8S 1/5 Sensored Brushless ESC Not saying the product is good or bad. It never arrived and I paid for 2 day shipping. Hopefully it will eventually arrive or I’m just out $350. I don’t think that is Amains fault though. 0 of 1 customers found this review helpful.
