Overview
The Castle Creations Cobra 10 (010-0174-00) is a compact, high-output brushless electronic speed controller engineered for 1/10 and 1/8 scale RC vehicles. Supporting up to 6S LiPo (25.2V) and featuring a robust 8A peak BEC, the Cobra 10 delivers Castle's legendary smooth throttle response, strong braking, and reliable power handling in a chassis-friendly footprint.
Designed for racers, bashers, and performance enthusiasts, the Cobra 10 balances size, efficiency, and durability. Its refined power delivery offers excellent low-speed modulation and consistent punch across the RPM range, helping drivers stay in control on any surface.
Castle's low-resistance design also keeps heat in check, supporting longer, harder runs without thermal drop-off - exactly what you'd expect from a Cobra-series ESC.
