If you are looking for a speed control, be sure to check out the newly released Castle Creations Copperhead 10 Performance 1/10-scale ESC. It is ideal for those who want sensored motor support, data logging, a 6A peak selectable internal BEC (5.5V or 7.5V) and Castle’s signature reliability and performance in the meanest looking ESC around.
Consider this system if you want to transform your 1/10-scale stock vehicle from dull to dangerously fun. The Copperhead can do it with its buttery smooth starts, CRYO-DRIVE enabled performance and up to 4S power in a compact, easy-to-install footprint.
FEATURES
- Input Voltage Range: 2s-4s LiPo (ESC Only).
- Smartsense, sensored only and brushed running modes.
- Selectable 5.5V or 7.5V (6A peak) internal BEC (Battery Eliminator Circuit).
- 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 durable injection molded case and potted in WATERPROOF epoxy to protect the electronics and promote efficient heat transfer.
- 30mm removable fan and dual use fan guard.
- Compatible with S.BUS2 Telemetry Link and Futaba T4PX, T7PX and T7PXR transmitters.
- Audible alerts for easy diagnosis of common issues such as motor-over-temperature and low-voltage cutoff.
- Convenient transmitter programming for six common adjustable settings including cutoff voltage and drag brake.
- Data Logging Lite captures and records performance data from your vehicle to maximize performance and battery life. (Battery Voltage Battery Ripple, Controller temp, Motor RPM, Motor Temp).
- Smartsense uses the motor’s sensors at startup to provide cog-free starts, excellent torque and low-speed drivability. Once the motor is turning, the ESC seamlessly transitions to Castle’s ultra-efficient sensorless mode.
- Castle link USB programming kit (coupon included with purchase).
- Optional smartphone-based programming with the B-link bluetooth adapter (sold separately) and Castle Link App available on Google Play or Apple App Store.
- Proudly designed, assembled and supported in Kansas, USA.
- Backed by Castle Creations’ 1-year warranty.
