Ep 309: Castle Cobra 8 ESC Deep Dive + Castle Link V2 Tutorial

This DEEP Dive will give you my honest impressions of the new Castle Creations Cobra 8 ESC and walk you through the newly updated Castle Link ESC programming SW. This may not be the biggest ESC in Castle's line-up, but it is definitely one of their biggest releases in years. 😎

The Cobra 8 debuts Castle's new, modern 32-bit microcontroller architecture that promises a new world of advanced features. This 1:8 scale ESC has 8X as much internal storage as previous generations and can log telemetry 2X faster than its forebearers. it runs cooler and harder than the Mamba Monster X-6S that it replaces, which should also mean improved durability
