GHOST RC - COBRA 5 ACE - DRAG AND HIGH SPEED 8s ESC
Product #: 020-0287-00
PERFORMANCE UNLOCKED.
Castle is excited to partner with Ghost RC, in association with Perfect Pass, to introduce the Cobra 5 ACE. Based on Castle's new Cobra 5 ESC, the Ghost RC Cobra 5 ACE was designed for the extreme demands of 1/7th scale drag racing and high-speed applications.
Ghost RC has removed or restricted the protection features found in the Castle Cobra 5. This allows the Cobra 5 ACE to deliver incredible amounts of power; but with great power comes great responsibility. Caution must be used in setup selection and ESC tuning. Due to the inherently aggressive nature of RC drag racing and speed running, the Ghost RC Cobra 5 ACE is sold with no warranty. This ESC is for advanced users only.
The Ghost RC Cobra 5 ACE is not currently available for sale. Ordering and shipping are expected in approximately 4 week. This item will be sold exclusively by Ghost RC and Perfect Pass upon release.
The retail price is $349.95.
