P-CC010-0179-03) pairs the latest COBRA 5 speed controller with a powerful sensored 4‑pole 12‑slot 1721 motor for demanding 1/7th and 1/5th scale applications. Sharing the footprint of the Mamba XLX2, the ESC combines robust hardware with advanced tuning and logging to deliver smoother control and improved drivetrain protection.
New 32‑bit processing, expanded data logging, and independently adjustable braking and reverse curves let you fine‑tune response while helping reduce stress on gears, driveshafts and differentials. CRYO‑DRIVE thermal management, a rugged CNC‑machined aluminium case potted for waterproofing, a forged heatsink and an oversized 50 mm fan work together to manage heat during high‑load running.
Key Features
- 32‑bit processing for smoother motor control and faster response.
- Enhanced data logging with double the maximum sample frequency and 8× increased logging time.
- Logs ESC electrical motor timing and acceleration via the onboard accelerometer.
- Looping data log prevents interruptions in recording.
- Improved braking adjustability with separate brake and reverse curves.
- Highly adjustable internal BEC (5.0V–8.5V in 0.1V steps).
- Access tuning options and firmware updates via the included Castle Link V4 USB programmer.
- CRYO‑DRIVE technology improves thermal performance during partial‑throttle operation.
- Rugged CNC aluminium case, potted waterproof design for protection and heat transfer.
- Premium forged heatsink with elliptical fins and a thermally controlled 50 mm fan.
- Auxiliary wire for on‑the‑fly adjustments using your transmitter.
- Audible alerts for motor over‑temperature and low‑voltage cutoff.
- Convenient transmitter programming for six common settings including cutoff voltage and drag brake.

Overview
Building on the success of the COBRA 10 and COBRA 8, we are excited to announce the release of the all-new COBRA 5, engineered for 1/7th and 1/5th scale high-performance RC applications! The COBRA 5 is designed to deliver precision, durability, and unmatched power-handling capabilities.
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.
The COBRA 5 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 XLX2, while an upgraded current-sensing and thermal protection system actively mitigates the risk of failure in aggressive or high-load setups. The COBRA 5 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 1/5th scale vehicles
