We recommend a minimum 150 amp connector for the Hydra Cobra 5; examples include Castle 6.5mm polarized, EC8, QS8, and QS10. DO NOT USE XT90, Traxxas, EC5\/IC5, or any other connectors rated below 150 amps continuous. Do NOT use high-voltage batteries that run over 4.2-volts per cell when running the 8S max cell count.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"A MAIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67945549791510,"sku":"CSE010-0189-00","price":299.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0066\/9974\/5341\/files\/Screenshot2026-11-10090608.jpg?v=1794330587","url":"https:\/\/www.mikeshobby.net\/products\/cse010-0189-00-castle-creations-hydra-cobra-6-8s-brushless-marine-esc","provider":"Mike's Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
