COBRA 6, 33.6V ESC, W / 1520-1650KV SENSORED MOTOR

Product #: 010-0184-04

Building on the success of the COBRA 10 and COBRA 8, we are excited to announce the release of the all-new COBRA 6,engineered for 1/7th and 1/5th scale high-performance RC applications!The COBRA 6 is available to purchase as an ESC-only option or packagedwith three Castle 4-POLE 12-SLOT motor options to overpower a wide rangeof 1/7th and 1/6th scale vehicles.

The COBRA 6 AND 1520-1650KV COMBO is a perfect upgrade for 1/8, 1/7 and 1/6 scale vehicles weighing up to 18lbs and up to 8S LiPo. The 1520-1650Kv has all of the secret sauce that the big brother 1717-1650Kv has, but in a more compact diameter, fitting into smaller spaces without modifications to your chassis.

Please refer to our Surface Product Selector for recommended motor, battery and gearing for some of the more popular vehicles on the market.

  2. Running modes: SMARTSENSE™, Sensored, Sensorless with Castle sensored capable ESCs.
  3. 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.
