ITEM DESCRIPTION
Introducing the newest addition to the world of RC hobby boats, the HYDRA X 8S. With its sleek design and powerful performance, it will push RC boats to their limits for the ultimate thrill ride on the water!
The HYDRA X 8S is based on our popular and powerful Mamba Monster X 8S. We've removed the air cooled heatsink and added a water-cooled heatsink. The final touch is an aluminum top plate that gives it a sleek and polished appearance. Attached to the top plate are two .17" aluminum water fittings and uses standard 10-32 UNF threads.  The HYDRA X 8S is the ultimate enhancement that propels high-performance monohulls, up to 36 inches in length, to new heights.
CRYO-DRIVE™, Castle’s proprietary breakthrough technology, integrates unique software to reduce heat and dramatically increase performance.  Thousands of times per second, the Hydra X 8S software minimizes the amount of time the electrical components spend generating heat.  The results are more power handling, cooler ESC temperatures and longer runtimes and ultra-high performance.
It's easy to dial in ESC settings, update ESC firmware and view data logs with Castle Link USB programming kit (coupon for USB adapter included with purchase) and a Windows™ PC, or wirelessly with the convenience of the new B-Link™ Bluetooth™ Adapter and Castle Link app for Android or iOS.  Additional tuning flexibility is available with on-the-fly adjustments from a compatible transmitter via the Auxiliary wire. It's as easy as connecting the white signal wire to an open radio channel and enabling the feature in Castle Link by selecting what Auxiliary function is preferred.
HYDRA X 8S FEATURES:
Input Voltage Range 2S-8S LiPo (33.6v max)
Sensorless, SmartSense™  and Brushed Running Modes
Powerful Integrated 8A Peak Adjustable BEC (5.5V-8.0V)
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
Machined water-cooled heatsink with .17" water fittings.
Compatible with S.BUS2 Telemetry Link and Futaba T4PX, T7PX and T7PXR transmitters
