Overview

Castle is excited to continue our partnership with Ghost RC, in association with Perfect Pass, to introduce the Cobra 5 HV ACE. Based on Castle’s new Cobra 5 HV ESC, the Ghost RC Cobra 5 HV ACE was designed for the extreme demands of 1/7th scale drag racing and high-speed applications.

SUPPORT: Castle Creations does not provide technical support or service on Ghost RC products, nor does Castle offer trade-ins for this product as it is not a Castle product. Please contact Ghost RC for any questions regarding their products.

WARRANTY: Due to the abusive nature of drag and speed run setups, Castle nor Ghost RC is liable for incidental or consequential damages to other equipment such as ESCs and batteries when using this motor and is not responsible for failures resulting from abuse, improper installation, misapplication or alteration. Ghost RC has removed or restricted the protection features found in the Castle Cobra 5 HV. This allows the Cobra 5 HV ACE to deliver incredible amounts of power; but with great power comes great responsibility. Caution must be used in setup selection and ESC tuning. The Ghost RC Cobra 5 HV ACE is sold with no warranty. This ESC is for advanced users only.

WARNING: Drag and speed run setups are inherently abusive and extremely hard on all electronic components. Every component in the configuration can be strained, weakened (or worse) without using extreme caution, observance of electric theory and advanced knowledge of all aspects of the RC hobby. High speed runs and drag racing are the most advanced, aggressive and volatile applications in the RC car hobby. Improper setup or use of this product can result in catastrophic failures of the motor, ESC and/or batteries

Application

Designed for the extreme demands of 1/7th scale drag racing and high-speed applications. Due to the inherently aggressive nature of RC drag racing and speed running, the Ghost RC Cobra 5 ACE is sold with no warranty.

ESC Features

• Upgraded 6-gauge battery wires.
• Perfect Pass
• feature – Allows time-based throttle ramping (up to 25 seconds) for smooth acceleration.
• Sensored Only operation allow for advanced timing.
  • Boost timing up to 45 – RPM based or throttle-based activation and control.
  • Turbo timing up to 45 – Power out activation and time-based control.
• Advanced Start Power
  • Start Power controls off the line acceleration.
  • Start Power Ramp Time controls how quickly start power engages.
  • Start Power Hold Time controls how long start power holds.
• RPM Limiter – Helps prevent damage to rotors in the event of driveline failure.
• 210k eRPM maximum
• Programmed Throttle Curve
  • Allows users to set a throttle curve that automatically engages at launch.
  • Time based activation that engages at an adjustable throttle input.
  • 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.
• Data point for ESC electrical motor timing.
• Data point for acceleration via onboard accelerometer.

• Optional smartphone-based programming with the B-Link 2 Bluetooth Interface (sold separately) and free Castle Link 2 app available on Google Play or Apple App Store.
• Mounting holes located in bottom of aluminum case for installation into vehicle.
• 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 the majority of driving occurs
• ESC is housed in a rugged CNC aluminum case and potted in waterproof epoxy to protect the electronics and promote efficient heat transfer
• Premium forged heatsink with elliptical fins for superior air flow and increased heat dissipation
• Oversized factory equipped thermally controlled 50mm cooling fan
• Waterproof design for all weather conditions
