| Operating Environment: | Although Cobra 6 is waterproof, it is not intended for operation while completely submerged in liquid. Always rinse the ESC and motor with clean water after exposure to corrosive or dirt. While the motor and controller may be waterproof, we suggest users confirm that the rest of their vehicle, including the batteries, servos, radio, and chassis are also waterproof before exposing them to liquids of any kind. The cooling fan must be removed prior to driving in wet conditions (it is not waterproof). |

| Tech Tips: | Routine Maintenance is recommended after running in wet conditions. Please refer to this document for running and maintaining motors in wet conditions. Monitor motor temperatures closely, overheating a motor will cause permanent damage to the magnets. Never exceed 200° F on the the motor or ESC. Do not use mounting screws that extend more than 5mm into the front of the motor. Using too long of a screw can result in damage to the motor's windings and will not be covered by the warranty. |
The COBRA 6 is packed with a potent combination of hardware and software advancements,making it an indispensable ally in high-performance power systems.Users will benefit from the same footprint as its predecessor, the Mamba Monster X 8s, while an upgraded current-sensing and thermal protection system actively mitigates the risk of failure in aggressive or high-load setups.
New tuning parameters include adjustable braking curves and independent reverse settings to reduce the risk of broken gears, snapped driveshafts, and blown differentials, all while experiencing smoother transitions. Users will feel a more realistic and predictable driving experience while saving their drivetrain from unnecessary stress
Whether tweaking the suspension or altering tire pressure, data-driven decisions lead to optimal performance in an R/C vehicle, and the COBRA SERIES enhanced data logging includes double the maximum sample frequency of older generations, providing more granular data for analyzing performance.Gone are the days of clearing data logs—users will experience increased logging time and enjoy the new looping feature that prevents interruptions in recording. New data points for ESC electrical motor timing and acceleration via the onboard accelerometer provide insight into needed adjustments to detect tire slippage or fine-tune motor efficiency.
Access to tuning options, data logs, and firmware updates for the COBRA SERIES ESCs is available at no charge using the Castle Link V4 USB adapter included in the box and Castle Link 2 software, available for download on the Castle Creations website. Optional smartphone-based programming with the B-LINK™ 2 Bluetooth Interface (sold separately) and free Castle Link 2 app available on Google Play or Apple App Store.
