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 1/6th scale high-performance RC applications! The COBRA 6 is available to purchase as an ESC-only option or packaged with three Castle 4-POLE 12-SLOT motor options to overpower a wide range of 1/7th and 1/6th scale vehicles.
Note: The Cobra 6 is not designed for drag racing or high speed applications. It has built-in safety features that protects against aggressive setups and may limit power. The Ghost RC Cobra 8 ACE and Cobra 5 ACE are the recommended drag and speed run ESCs.

Waterproof design for all weather conditions
Programmability:

Fully programmable Castle feature set using the included Castle Link V4 USB adapter and freely downloadable Castle Link 2 Windows™ software, or the Castle Link iOS® or Android® app with B-LINK 2™ Bluetooth™ Adapter (sold separately).
Product Use Statement:


  • Recommended battery capacity for 1:6th scale vehicles is 5000mah. We recommend using 50C continuous discharge or higher LiPo batteries.
  • Surge ratings should never be used to determine a pack’s suitability for a brushless application.
  • We recommend a high current connector designed for high-powered electric systems, rated for 120+ amps, such as Castle CC Bullet 6.5mm, CC Bullet 8.0mm, or 6.5mm Polarized Castle Connectors.
  • Applying voltages higher than 33.6V will cause irreparable damage to ESC; DO NOT RUN HV CELLS (above 4.2v/cell) WHEN RUNNING AT MAX CELL COUNT (8s). This will exceed the 33.6v rating and will damage the ESC and not be covered by the warranty.
  • Although the Cobra 6 is waterproof, it is not intended for operation while completely submerged in liquid. Always rinse the ESC with clean water after exposure to corrosives or dirt.
  • The cooling fan must be removed prior to driving in wet conditions. It is not waterproof.
  • Note: The Cobra 6 is not designed for use in extremely high-speed applications and drag setups, as such the Castle warranty does NOT cover failure when used in high speed or drag applications.
