Designed for heavy, high-performance rigs, you'll experience controllable low-end ranges, without sacrificing power, punch, or speed.
Based around the popular Monster X 8s ESC, this is a direct upgrade and replacement for the next generation of bashing. Taking the core features from its predecessor, the Cobra packs in new features thanks to its powerful 32-bit processor.
The COBRA 6 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 Monster X 8s, while an upgraded current-sensing and thermal protection system actively mitigates the risk of failure in aggressive or high-load setups.
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. Optional smartphone-based programming with the B-LINK™ 2 Bluetooth Interface (sold separately) and free Castle Link 2 app available on Google Play or Apple App Store.

*Tech Note: Due to the high power nature of the Cobra 6, you must use appropriately sized batteries and connectors. We recommend a minimum 150 amp connector for the Cobra 6; examples include Castle 6.5mm and 6.5mm polarized, QS8, or QS10 Anti Spark. Do NOT use high-voltage batteries that run over 4.2-volts per cell when running the 8S max cell count.
**Tech Note: While designed to be waterproof, the Cobra 6 is not intended to run while completely submerged. Additionally, the cooling fan is not waterproof and must be removed prior to driving in wet conditions.
***Tech Note: Although many users have run the Cobra 6 in high-speed and drag applications, it is not designed for this purpose. Failures resulting from use on these applications are not covered under the Castle Creations warranty.
