COBRA 5 HV, 12S, 50.4V ESC, 20A PEAK BEC
Product #: 010-0178-00
COBRA 5 HV - HIGH VOLTAGE. NO COMPROMISE
The Castle Cobra 5 HV takes everything the Cobra 5 has and dials it up to 12. With 50.4V support (12S LiPo) this ESC is built to tame 1:4 scale monsters weighing up to 50 lbs.
COBRA 5 HV FEATURES:
- Double the maximum sample frequency of older generations.
- 8x increased logging time of older generations.
- ESC electrical motor timing data.
- Acceleration data via onboard accelerometer.
- Looping feature prevents interruptions in data log recording.
- Improved braking adjustability
- Separate brake and reverse curves
- Highly adjustable internal BEC (5.0V - 8.5V adjustable in 0.1V increments)
ADDITIONAL FEATURES:
- 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 aluminum 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 50mm cooling fan
- Waterproof design for all weather conditions
- 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
