Overview

Building on the success of the Hydra XLX2, we are excited to announce the release of the all-new HYDRA COBRA 5, engineered for marine applications up to 50″ and up to 8s LiPo!

Based on our proven Cobra 5 architecture, this marine-focused ESC features a custom water-cooled heatsink for efficient thermal management and an aluminum top plate with dual anodized water fittings (.17″ OD, 10-32 UNF threads). The ESC is housed in a rugged CNC aluminum case and potted in waterproof epoxy to protect the electronics and includes an upgraded current-sensing and thermal protection system actively mitigates the risk of failure in aggressive or high-load setups.

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.

The HYDRA 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 HydraXLX2, while an upgraded current-sensing and thermal protection system actively mitigates the risk of failure in aggressive or high-load setups.

NOTE: Due to the high power nature of the Hydra Cobra 5, you must use appropriately sized batteries and connectors. We recommend a minimum 150 amp connector for the Hydra Cobra 5;examples include Castle 6.5mm polarized, EC8 and QS8. DO NOT USE XT90,Traxxas,EC5/IC5 or any other connectors rated below 150 amps continuous.

ESC Features

  • 32-Bit processing power for smoother motor control and improved response time.
  • Enhanced Data Logging includes:
    • Double the maximum sample frequency of older generations.
    • 8x increased logging time of older generations.
    • ESC electrical motor timing data.
    • Acceleration data via onboard accelerometer.
  • Looping feature prevents interruptions in data log recording.
  • Additional tuning features include:
    • Improved braking adjustability
    • Separate brake and reverse curves
    • Highly adjustable internal BEC (5.0V – 8.5V adjustable in 0.1V increments)
    • Access to tuning options and firmware updates for free with Castle Link V4 USB programmer included with purchase.
    • Upgraded current-sensing and thermal protection system actively mitigates the risk of failure in aggressive or high-load setups
  • CRYO-DRIVE Technology minimizes the amount of time the ESC’s electrical components spend generating heat, resulting in improved thermal performance during partial throttle operation where the majority of driving occurs
  • ESC is housed in a rugged CNC aluminum case and potted in waterproof epoxy to protect the electronics and promote efficient heat transfer
  • Powerful Integrated 20A Peak Adjustable BEC (5.25V-8.0V)
  • Machined water-cooled heatsink with 0.17″ water fittings.
  • Waterproof design for all weather conditions
  • Auxiliary wire functionality for “on-the-fly” adjustments using your transmitter
  • Mounting holes located in bottom of aluminum case for affixing to your vehicle
  • Audible alerts for easy diagnosis of common issues such as motor-over-temperature and low-voltage cutoff
  • Convenient transmitter programming for six common adjustable settings including cutoff voltage and drag brake
