Castle Creations Cobra 5 8S Brushless ESC - 33.6V / 20A BEC
Overview
The Castle Creations Cobra 5 8S (010-0179-00) is a high-performance brushless electronic speed controller engineered for serious large-scale and high-power RC applications. Supporting up to 8S LiPo (33.6V), the Cobra 5 8S delivers smooth throttle control, strong braking, and exceptional electrical robustness in a rugged, dependable package.
Built for racers, bashers, and custom builders, this ESC handles the high-current demands of large-scale brushless systems while remaining easy to install and program. Its refined control architecture provides linear throttle response and consistent braking even under heavy load.
A powerful onboard 20A peak BEC reliably drives high-torque digital servos, eliminating the need for an external BEC in most installs and simplifying complex setups.
