The
Cobra 10 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 10 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 10 can effortlessly power the most
demanding servos, making it an indispensable ally in your
high-performance setup.
We’ve packaged the Cobra 10 with 16
different Castle 4 -POLE 12-SLOT motor options to overpower a wide range
of 1:10th scale vehicles.
New Features:
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.
Hill Hold feature
Incredibly strong drag brake enhancement feature for rock crawling.
Eliminates any creep or movement of the motor on an incline.

Product Use Statements:
|
Not intended for drag racing applications.
*Although
Cobra 10 is waterproof, it is not intended for operation while
completely submerged in liquid. Always rinse the ESC and motor with
clean water after exposure to corrosives or dirt. While the motor and
controller may be waterproof, we suggest users confirm that the rest of
their vehicle, including the batteries, servos, radio and chassis are
also waterproof before exposing them to liquids of any kind.
**The cooling fan must be removed prior to driving in wet conditions. It is not waterproof.

Tech Tips:
|
-Cobra
10 setups frequently hit 100+ amps in peaks and not all LiPos are
created equal. Surge ratings should never be used to determine a pack's
suitability for a brushless application. Recommended battery capacity
for 1:10th and 1:8th scale vehicles is 5000mAh. We recommend using 30C
continuous discharge or higher LiPo batteries (or high quality 25C
batteries such as Traxxas® Power Cell).
-Our experience suggests using only mild gear ratios with NiMH cells. Do not attempt to use NiMH cells in extreme setups.
-Applying voltages higher than 25.2V will cause irreparable damage to ESC.

|
Tech Notes:
|
Running modes: SMARTSENSE™, Sensored only
Water Resistant Design: The sensor board is coated with silicone conformal coating to protect the sensors from moisture. The sensor connections are not water resistant; water can cause signal loss which could result in loss of sensored capabilities. Castle recommended applying dielectric grease to the outside of the sensor wire connections after installation of the wire. Routine maintenance is recommended after running in wet conditions. Please refer to this document for running and maintaining motors in wet environments.
