The Castle Hydra Cobra 5 HV is a next-generation marine ESC designed for RC hobby boats up to 50 inches. Built on the same proven technology as the Cobra 5 HV surface ESC and re-engineered for water, it delivers uncompromising 12S/50.4V power, data-rich performance monitoring, and bulletproof protection.

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.


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: "Limp Mode" - makes return to shore easier when low voltage cutoff is activated.
  • 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 most driving occurs
  • Wirelessly optimize your setup with the convenience of the B-Link2 Bluetooth Interface and Castle Link 2 app for Android or iOS.
  • ESC is housed in a rugged CNC aluminum case and potted in waterproof epoxy to protect the electronics and promote efficient heat transfer.
  • Machined water-cooled heatsink with 0.17" water fittings.
  • Auxiliary wire functionality for "on-the-fly" adjustments using your transmitter
  • 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
