Castle Creations Hydra Cobra 5 HV, 12S, 50.4V ESC, 20A Peak BEC 010-0183-00 (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Overview

The Castle Creations Hydra Cobra 5 HV (010-0183-00) is a high-voltage brushless electronic speed controller engineered for the most demanding RC and marine applications. Supporting up to 12S LiPo (50.4V), the Hydra Cobra 5 HV delivers the raw power, smooth control, and bullet-proof reliability that serious large-scale and marine builders demand.

Castle's advanced control architecture provides linear throttle response, predictable braking, and exceptional thermal stability under extreme load. Whether you are pushing a 1/5-scale truck, an ocean-going RC boat, or a custom high-power conversion, the Hydra Cobra 5 HV is built to handle it.

A powerful integrated 20A peak BEC easily powers high-torque digital servos and onboard accessories without the need for a separate BEC, simplifying complex installs and improving overall reliability.
