• Product Use Statements: Recommended battery capacity for 1:6th scale vehicles is 5000mah. / Castle recommends using 50C continuous discharge or higher LiPo batteries. / Surge ratings should never be used to determine a pack's suitability for a brushless application. / They recommend a high current connector designed for high-powered electric systems, rated for 120+ amps, such as Castle CC Bullet 6.5mm, CC Bullet 8.0mm, or 6.5mm Polarized Castle Connectors. / Applying voltages higher than 33.6V will cause irreparable damage to ESC; DO NOT RUN HV CELLS (above 4.2v/cell) WHEN RUNNING AT MAX CELL COUNT (8s). This will exceed the 33.6v rating and will damage the ESC and not be covered by the warranty. / Although the Cobra 6 is waterproof, it is not intended for operation while completely submerged in liquid. Always rinse the ESC with clean water after exposure to corrosives or dirt. / The cooling fan must be removed prior to driving in wet conditions. It is not waterproof. / Note: The Cobra 6 is not designed for use in extremely high-speed applications and drag setups, as such the Castle warranty does NOT cover failure when used in high speed or drag applications.
