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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased 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.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cdetails open=\"\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32-Bit processing power for smoother motor control and improved response time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnhanced Data Logging includes: Double the maximum sample frequency of older generations. \/ 8x increased logging time of older generations. \/ ESC electrical motor timing data.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcceleration data via onboard accelerometer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLooping feature prevents interruptions in data log recording.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdditional tuning features include: \"Limp Mode\" - makes return to shore easier when low voltage cutoff is activated.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly adjustable internal BEC (5.0V - 8.5V adjustable in 0.1V increments)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccess to tuning options and firmware updates for free with Castle Link V4 USB programmer included with purchase.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpgraded current-sensing and thermal protection system actively mitigates the risk of failure in aggressive or high-load setups.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCRYO-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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWirelessly optimize your setup with the convenience of the B-Link2 Bluetooth Interface and Castle Link 2 app for Android or iOS.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eESC is housed in a rugged CNC aluminum case and potted in waterproof epoxy to protect the electronics and promote efficient heat transfer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachined water-cooled heatsink with 0.17\" water fittings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuxiliary wire functionality for \"on-the-fly\" adjustments using your transmitter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudible alerts for easy diagnosis of common issues such as motor-over temperature and low-voltage cutoff\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConvenient transmitter programming for six common adjustable settings including cutoff voltage and drag brake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cdetails open=\"\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplication: Designed for use in RC Hobby boats up to 50\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput Voltage ESC: MIN: 6S LiPo, MAX: 12S LiPo (50.4V)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 4.7\" x 1.5\" x 2.6\" (120mm x 37.2mm x 67mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 18.1oz (513g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBEC Voltage:  5.0V - 8.0V adjustable in 0.1V increments; (20A Peak); default 5.5V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire and Connectors:  8.0mm female bullets; matching 8.0mm male bullets required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater Cooling Fittings: Two .17\" fittings included.
