Thank you for explaining the programming. I have a number of castle systems and like to play with the setting. Your explanation help to understand what is needed.
Great video, thanks for the programming run through. Followed the majority, tweaked a couple of bits for my own preference.
love the sound of the revolver, the throttle curve set up is by far my favorite feature with these esc's.
Thank you!
Yes, I love sound of Power😎
I have had a Copperhead 10 and Castle 1406 system (2 actually) and I have been very happy with them, I put one in my TRX 2021 Bronco, and the other in my VS4-10 pro. I figured it was time to watch this and find out what I have been doing wrong 😂 or what I have been missing in the features🤔. Great system Thanks !💯❤
I think my favorite feature on any rig is the Cruise control on the TRX4...it works awesome , even in the rocks using either the Revolver or 4274S because of the torque-density.
Love the video, hate the sound of an ESC. That is one of the most annoying things to me. You do an excellent job of building the things you do. Impressive man.
This program set up he did is no joke. My son has a trx4 bronco 2022’ don’t agree with but has a 3800kv 4pole castle slate with the lowest 9t pinion and 45t spur. His start up speed is way more controlled than what the hobby store did as a base start up witch he was thankful for. You wouldn’t know it’s a 3800kv. And the stock traxxas controller has all the proper end points sensitivity and so on with using the menu set buttons and power light. Thanks a ton I understand this goes through a lot of trial and error for you to have a good program and we grab it for almost nothing. I buy HH products the best IMO, thank again.
good esc
thanks for the very informative video
I put the Limited Edition castle Copperhead 10 ESC with the Castle 1412 3200kv motor in my Wendigo about a week ago. My goal was to make the Wendigo run smoother at low speeds, yet still drive like a rock racer at higher speeds. I definitely reached my goal: with a 13T pinion (down from the stock 17T), I now have the low speed control of a crawler combined with the speed of a rock racer. This Copperhead combo has truly exceeded my expectations.
As a side note, the sensor wire on my Copperhead Limited Edition combo came already plugged into the ESC from the factory: all I had to do was plug the other end it into the motor. It may not be that way for Copperhead ESCs sold individually, but it seems Castle is now doing it on their complete systems, which makes sense since users of complete systems are probably going to use sensored mode.
Yes. What kind of motor did you pair with it?
I love the sound of Castle esc's
I am trying out the ET -2400 non sensored funny car motor in my slash/ rock jumper project. Even though i have it geared 56-8 at the motor I had more cogging than I prefer. Using the mamba x, I turned the timing down from the normal 10 deg. To 0 and it helped.
Hello, thanks for the info!!!
I have a traxxas slash vxl that I have turned into a drift rally with abs plastic tires. My question is, if I wanted to smooth out throttle control for drifting can I add the copperhead esc to the 3500 vxl to make some adjustments on the computer? Or do you think im better off just buying the full copperhead sensored motor combo?
I used the copperhead with a 2200 V2 Revolver. I removed the fan and it went hot pretty quick. So in my application. Light weight Scx10ii it liked the fan.
Cant wait to get that motor for my sherpa build, but definitely going to reprogram my copperhead 10, it ate up my diff gear sets in my 10iii, lmao
Great video John.
The brake curve is this like the Auto drag brake on the Axe - Appling the brakes slower instead if being slammed on when coming off the throttle?
John Great info👍👍Would this be a good setup for my 6x6 with your puller pro v2 2700kv & a copper head esc That is used for crawling and trails 4s👍
Just got mine today. Its prefect i matched 90% of your settings since I'm running the combo 2850kv. Jeez louise solid and more affordable than my 3300kv axe combo. 50.00+ difference. Love it. Thanks for your video. Keep up the great work and advice
Im kinda torn, just picked up the 2850kv combo aswell. For that extra $60 difference, the castle b link also cost that much 😩
thanks for the awesome video john! would these settings be close to what youd use on a sidewinder 4 with a revolver? im in a toss up between the sidewinder and the CH10
yep, same settings
This vid has been rated R (rad!) it has powerful esc, and snub nose revolver scenes,caution is strongly advised for rc enthusiast with a faint of heart.
John, i have a vs4-10 ultra with a mamba x and slate motor, i want to switch over to either a puller pro or revolver. what would you recommend seeing that both motors are now about the same price?
I almost order copperhead, but after watching your video on the hh crawlmaster mini brushless esc, i flipped. However, the crawlmaster esc is soldout. 😆
I do a lot of trails and crawling with my rigs so I like the aux function. I can have all the drag brake one minute while on a hard line then once I'm done itll coast on just fine. I wish they had kept it on this esc.
agreed! i love the Aux wire Rockracer/crawler mode, i also like a 2speed for when i find a big spot...
@@DeaShoost exactly! Those 2 features Really make a truck fun!
On the data logging your explanation was backwards on the sample frequency. It gives you the option of 5 samples per second (which is a sample every 200 milliseconds) and 1 sample per second so the 5 samples per second is more information rich therefore shorter logging duration. Oh, and the option to disable logging.
The aux wire on a mamba gets y linked in with your gear selector switch on 2 speeds. Has drag brake ramp speed reduced in higher gear Edit addition: you can set it up that way I mean to say. Otherwise there is an Auto ramp speed option I'm not familiar with. Anyone can speak to that and its effectiveness compared to the y link with shift and user chosen ramp speeds? Does the auto ramp feature really work good?
Hello greetings from Colombia
I wonder how many people get the intro joke? lol Damn, I never knew you had the castle-style sensor wires!!! I'll be ordering some of those to stock in the shop this weekend. :D
Do you have the save file of the settings? Need one to load it in my esc :-) thanks
Great video, I always learn something from your content.
Now, did you say that you need the new v3 link to program the copperhead ? Or will the old link work?
Old one works too
Thanks John
Always been following your "how to" for my initial settings in my trail/crawl rigs. Now that I am venturing to the rock racer and bouncer rigs, can you get us going on this esc with a vid?
Same programming, maybe more drag ramp.
@@HolmesHobbies That's pretty much the way I have the Copperhead set up on my Wendigo.
Hi, sorry to ask, but why are you replacing the sensor harness? Doesn't it come with one? Is your wire more compatible with your motors? In essence what im asking is , do I need your wire to put a copperhead 10 and a 3800kv motor in my trx4? Thank you sooo much!!
I have the same system now if I got water on my switch would it cause it to have intermediate throttle but full power reverse and half or quarter and early full in forward ?
ciao. can u pls give me the item code of the sensor cable required to do what u do in the video :-)? i purchased a combo made by a copperhead + a sensored motor 14 series . does the cable provided with this motor requires the harness or it can be plugged directly to the esc? ciao, alberto
I just got esc, somehow the reverse seems to be faster. I have the sensor wire connected because it’s on a crawler. Any help on why it’s faster in reserve than forward?
So does the Copperhead not let you adjust the drag break from another channel on the radio?
Hey John. I was recommended the 4600kv for my two wheel buggy (Traxxas bandit) I didn’t see an option for different rcs only a crawler on the drop down menu. Is that any difference or no matter OR did they recommend me the wrong combo for the buggy?.
It's the right choice for a buggy. Vehicle choice is just so we can ensure things are right
While I’m tempted to pull the trigger on buying the copperhead, I’m still holding out to see what HH has in store for the revolver/oem esc.
Yep!!
Revolver motors are AWESOME. Very HIGH TORQUE DENSE OUTRUNNERS. Just NEED TO BE QUIET. Besides that are PERFECT for my CRAWLERS.
Same. No more Castle for me at the moment. I'm waiting for a Holme esc that's RTR with a strong BEC....hoping for a continuous 6amp to 10 amp bec with it. The programming isn't a big deal for me because I was tuning my Castle ESC's(and BLE Pro's and BR-XL's)nearly identical to John's tune even before I seen his tune video. So I know his ESC's are going to be tuned perfect for me.
It’s cool he still takes the time to review Castle even when Holmes sells competing ESCs
Hi bro which one is the best motor castle for the traxxas slash 4x4 I want to upgrade it
I would love to build a crawler please tell me how to source one in the UK or buy direct from your company thanks.
I had my brxl tourquemaster esc, and my tekin rx8 g2 from my yeti stole from my apartment during a move. I am looking to get a new system for both my yeti and wraith. The wraith im thinking another Brxl,, but the price of the copperhead concerns me a little. I have the kit version with steel gears and universals. I like to use 3 cell lipos for the wheel speed and punch or grunt off the line. Since I'm on a budget i don't need anything made to race, i like to go fast, with technical sections and mud and dirty wet conditions. Is sensored needed? I like the speed of my 3800kv castle 4pole on the rx8 gen2. Stock gearing. Oh i have a spektrum dx4c radio, don't know if that matters. Thanks for any assistance in this matter. Trev.
Does the castle b link work on the copperhead 10 ?
Do you like the noise or is that not a problem for you or do you think its too noisy or is it a good sound?
hey thanks just wondering about that part.
So will running this with the tenshock 1750 be the same as running the sidewinder 4, power wise
Yes
Hello, my friend! Tell me the best choice for TRX4 Bronco 2021 I want super smoothness in first gear and more speed in second gear
If you want more speed in second, brushless is really the best choice. 2700kv puller pro and mamba x or Copperhead.
@@HolmesHobbies Thanks
Hi Sir, I've copied all your settings (Copperhead 10 & Castle 1406-2850KV motor) and I have no idea what I am doing wrong. When stopping uphill or downhill, the car always slowly rolls, the drag brake is just too weak on 100%. Tested on an MST CFX-W and an TRX-4. Fresh new 3S Lipo batterys. No problem at all with the Fusion 1800 & 2300KV in the same RC cars, but I would prefer the Castle. But with that drag brake issue no chance. What am I doing wrong? Thank you very much and best regards from Germany, Tobi.
Can someone tell me. what best ideal brushed motor combo with copperhead 10. I already have outrunner. But want stanby for mud. Please respon. Tq
Does this eliminate the issue I have read about that it periodically shuts off during use.
Haha dude where’s my car reference lmao..nice also great vid just got a copperhead trying to decide weather it’s worth it to get a Bluetooth castle link or just get the usb and use my laptop any differences to make a Bluetooth worth it other than convenience?
Where do ESC's come from?
Mommy and daddy 3 step resistor controllers loved each other very much....
Will that system is better for a mud truck or the 3800 sw4
Eiii Bro i have problem tunr on and permanent red led or started sond and better glich batery sound and permanent led help please :)))
Is there anyway I can program the Copperhead 10 from my phone. I have no computer
How can I program this ESC for my rival MT-10 basher
What does the data logging do/mean? Do I need it on?
I program to 3.5v on any esc or car that will let me. I've had zero battery issues since👍
Where you take you're new sensored wire?
Can't get castle link v3 card to work on my pc, 64-bit windows 11. Green Light on the chip when plugged into the pc but app not picking it up.
Why remove the fan from the ESC? Will the ESC not generate that much heat on a crawler vs a "high powered" race buggy? I understand not wanting the sound of the fan. I have the copperhead 10 and puller pro v2 stubby 3300kv. Lots of go!!
I’ve had this esc for a while now and ran it with and without a fan. If your doing shorter rock courses it’s fine without it, however I do a lot of like hour and a half trail runs and it runs very toasty without a fan. I ended up putting the fan back on it and it stays cool as a cucumber even after running it for an hour.
@@shifter1953 hi. Does the fan turns on/off automatically when temps go high/low?
CH10 with a 2500kv revolver with 2.low trans killa combo✊🏽
Theres i way to connect the fan that is not always on?
I see in the instructions there is a area that states "Transmitter Prowgraming " do you have a idea what this feature is?
Probably a telemetry feature
@@HolmesHobbies I have everything to try it ...will get back to ya
Where you take new sensores wire?
How many amps is this esc?
Can somebody please tell me what's the advantage of having a copperhead 10 instead a mamba x thank you.
30g lighter. Less cost.
so why is my v3 snubnose 2040kv locking up with my copperhead 10.. the motor seizes n I gotta reboot the esc to get it to work again... any ideas why this is??? i have a video Om my channel of what it's doing...
Check all the connectors and solder joints , otherwise holler at castle. Some of the early copperheads would glitch out and require reboot
What motor are you using in this video?
Revolver 540
Sweet Betty body in the background, never see those anymore
200% drag brake? Does it go to 11 too?
Yes, you get it!
So you are telling me this esc with the 2850kv would be a good match for the bomber for trailing and crawling?
Id say there needs to be a video on cutting the grass. LOL
Wondering how it does in a good fresh 3s I had the copperhead 10 and 540 2200kv revolver and they did not work went to a 1800 stub still would cut the esc out and lock the no motor up did the same settings as this video when it came out zero luck you guys told me the motor isn't compatible with that esc castle said it's too much motor in 3s lol had to go to the mamba micro x and 1800 stub for it to work....oh and this is in a box stock capra to.. light rig
Sounds like an issue with the copperhead honestly. Although capra gearing is tall, going to a smaller esc wouldn't solve cutouts.
@@HolmesHobbies she's been fine since with micro x running a 9t pinion I believe the smallest I can since the start but I only said something cause I see you using the copperhead and I had to ask add the copperhead is fine I have in my on road car
It's stylish
Does it need a cap pack
I almost got the copperhead but instead I got your BR-XL with the torque master expert 27t
the actual term 200 % might be misleading but I own both Hobbywing FOC & several Castle Mamba X esc & the Castle doesn't come close to the holding power of the Axe esc not even in the same ballpark. both however are Great esc in there own right!!
The hold braking is not drag brake. It burns battery to hold stronger. I'm mostly poking at their choice of description. If I offer a higher hold force on my esc, should I call it 300% ? Where does it end?
@@HolmesHobbies Ahh I see your point, completely makes sense. I am shocked tho that castle etc doesn't incorporate more hold braking power than what it currently has, leave it up to the driver to drain his battery lol. I've ran into several scenarios that the holding power saved me. But yes I see what your saying now
I got the b link and it doesn’t work with any of my copperheads.
The intro 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 😂
Why wont my copperhead esc hook up to my link? What am i doing wrong 😕
B link? Those can be a little buggy
@@HolmesHobbies no regular link, i can program my castle "bec" but not my brand new castle creations copperhead esc, it will not connect
@@SierraCrawler530 be sure to plug a battery in
@@HolmesHobbies i did and nothing happened
@@HolmesHobbies im wondering if I got a bad esc
Running a Copperhead 10 with HH 2200KV Revolver, motor became too hot to touch with 0 degree timing.
Id look at the rig.. gearing, mesh, ball bearings, hexes, etc... assuming the motor isn't rusted up or something
@@HolmesHobbies Stock sport gearing, nearly new bearings in Vitavon axles, new motor with only a few runs on it. I put the timing back to normal and all was well.
Is it only for rock crawlers because that’s not what i want it for
My settings are specific to crawling but can apply to any vehicle
Sometimes it seems someone has had way too many Jolt Cola's.... 😁
U can hear it, but do ya feelz it?
Honestly, I'm NOT sure why you feel the need to remove the top half of the case in order to install the sensor wire (or sensor wire adapter).
With the case still together (exactly as it is when you remove it from the box), it's fairly easy to remove the sensor port cover, and even easier to plug the sensor wire/adapter into the sensor port. The "trick" is in 'clicking' it into place, as you have to push it mostly down into place..and then, while still slightly pushing down, you have to push it towards the heatsink (so that the top of the sensor plug "clicks" into place under the tiny 'tab' in the top half of the case. And, finished..........
I couldn't get it to seat without starting fresh. Maybe a little more prying would have done it.
1st
Would you recommend these settings for a roc412 3100kv with the esc
and then and then and then and then 😂😂
And thennnnnnn??..... NO AND THEN!!! 😂🤣
yeah none of those pins will break off, they are made of #triedamillionum
12:13 - "I like to know amperage" then goes on to say can compute amperage from the voltage....bahhahaha...
Ya actually Caaann'ttt work baacckwwoords from voltage.
To turn off the data logging you just disable the sampling. No sample = no data. Lol
John Holmes is very smart guy but he is always asking to post a comment and never even look at any post more or less answer any questions you have he doesn't even give any a thumbs up even if doesn't answer how busy can you be, must be building stock for Holmes hobby cause everything on that website is out of stock
I'm here, but sometimes comments are too much to keep on top of. I still try to read them all!
