Cobra 8

We're thrilled to introduce the Cobra 8, our next generation electronic speed controller (ESC) for surface applications. As the inaugural product in a new line, the Cobra 8 is engineered with cutting-edge technology tailored specifically for 1:8th scale vehicles weighing up to 15 lbs. We’ve packaged the Cobra 8 with three different Castle 4 -POLE 12-SLOT motor options to overpower a wide range of 1:8th scale vehicles.

Castle is proud to partner with Ghost RC and offer a drag specific version. It contains drag specific settings to control launch, manage power, and offers 166% more electrical motor timing. Visit Ghost-RC.com for more details.
