About the Cobra 5 Combo
Advanced Data Logging and Tuning
The Cobra 5 features an enhanced data logging system that doubles the sample frequency of previous models, providing more detailed performance analytics. With 8x increased logging time and an updated looping feature, users never have to worry about losing crucial data. Additional parameters such as ESC electrical motor timing and acceleration tracking via an onboard accelerometer allow for precise adjustments to optimize performance and detect issues like tire slippage.
Precision Braking and Sensored Control
Equipped with adjustable braking curves and independent reverse settings, the Cobra 5 minimizes drivetrain stress while providing smoother transitions and more realistic throttle response. The highly adjustable internal BEC (ranging from 5.0V to 8.5V in 0.1V increments) offers customized power delivery for servos and electronics. Pairing the Cobra 5 ESC with the Castle 4-Pole 12-Slot Sensored 2028-800Kv motor ensures superior low-end control without compromising power or top speed.
Extreme Durability and Thermal Protection
Built for the most demanding conditions, the Cobra 5 ESC is housed in a rugged CNC aluminum case, fully waterproofed with epoxy potting for long-term reliability. CRYO-DRIVE™ technology enhances thermal performance by reducing heat buildup during partial throttle operation, while a premium forged heatsink with elliptical fins improves airflow and heat dissipation. The oversized 50mm cooling fan keeps temperatures in check, ensuring peak efficiency even under heavy loads.
