About The Cobra 8 Combo:
32-Bit Processor
Using the state-of-the-art 32-bit processor, this ESC can allow for smoother power delivery. It also allows for faster data sampling rates to give users more points of data to make precise adjustments.
Cryo-Drive
Castle Creations Cryo-Drive uses advanced technology to ensure less heat buildup while maintaining peak performance. Cryo-Drive optimally controls what components are being used to control the motor. This is happening at thousands of times per second to reduce the rate the ESC can heat up.
Data Logging
The Cobra 8 ESC has many updates done to the data logging capabilities. The data is recorded at 8x the older generation ESCs with double the sample rate. With a built in accelerometer, this ESC allows for accurate acceleration data. A looping feature prevents interruptions in data recording. The data provided by the ESC allows you to make changes to your chassis based on reliable data.
1515 Brushless Motor
Castle Creations 1515 V2 Sensored 4-Pole Brushless Motors combine rotor position sensor technology with improved high power and high efficiency motor design to deliver ultra smooth startup, precise low speed control, predictable power delivery, incredible torque, and lightning fast response. Through the use of Castle's Smart Sense technology, the position of the rotor is always known by the ESC. This eliminates the possibility of encountering cogging or inconsistency during startup and allows the 1515 to deliver precise throttle control and buttery smooth starts with the raw power and longer run times that Castle motors are known for.

It's been some time now and things have changed. Castle owned their problems and fixed both the esc and motor. Motor lost a phase due to esc programming problems. I contacted Castle creations directly and they gave me the green light to send it in together. It took a few weeks and it was returned to me. I put the system in a bin shoved in the corner. I didn't trust Castle anymore.
It happened! I had a friend's esc go bad in a Kraton. I asked if he wanted to test the Castle cobra for me with the motor.
"YES!" And now it's been a few weeks of testing, bashing, and even setup for racing. Everything is running strong now. I'll give Castle Creations another chance with the Cobra8 soon.
Wanted to do a challenge so I put this in my Typhon TLR and installed a limitless spool and hit in the 50's on only 2s! Incredibly smooth powerful combo (cobra 8 and 2200kv V2)
