About this part

The Castle Creations Copperhead 10 Waterproof 1/10 Sensored "SCT Edition" Combo provides 1/10 scale enthusiasts of all disciplines with a powerful and performance driven ESC that is packed with features. The Copperhead 10 is an affordable option that sits directly in the middle of the Sidewinder 4 entry-level upgrade ESC and the extreme performance MAMBA X option. The Copperhead 10 utilizes CRYO-DRIVE technology, sensored motor support and data logging to deliver Castle’s signature performance and reliability. Whether crawling the rocks, bashing in the backyard or ripping up the local skatepark, Copperhead 10’s versatility will appeal to a wide variety of 1/10 scale enthusiasts. 

The included Castle 1410 3800Kv Motor combines rotor position sensor technology with a high power and high efficiency motor design. This creates a motor that delivers ultra smooth startup, precise low speed control, predictable power delivery, incredible torque, and lightning fast response - with the RAW POWER and LONGER RUN TIMES that Castle motors are known for. 

NOTE: Not compatible with Castle Field Link program card (CSE010-0063-00).

Features:

  • CRYO-DRIVE™: 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. COOLER TEMPS mean LONGER RUNS and MORE POWER in a COPPERHEAD 10 setup. 
  • DATA LOGGING LITE: Battery Voltage, Battery Ripple, Controller Temperature, Motor RPM and Motor Temperature data points can be captured, downloaded and analyzed via Castle Link software. While not a full version of Data Logging capabilities that the MAMBA X EXTREME 1:10 SCALE ESC has, these critical parameters are excellent sources of information for maximizing performance and battery life of the COPPERHEAD 10. 
  • SMARTSENSE™ TECHNOLOGY: 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 with electronic timing to advance timing automatically for peak performance in all driving conditions. (Requires use of Castle brushless motor to utilize) 
  • INTERNAL BEC (Battery Eliminator Circuit): COPPERHEAD 10 features a selectable 5.5V or 7.5V (6A peak) internal BEC to supply power to many of today’s high-torque servos, without requiring the use of an external BEC. 
  • DUAL USE FAN GUARD: For crawler setups or others that do not require an ESC cooling fan, the fan is easily removed with four screws and the fan guard with the cool COPPERHEAD logo simply clicks back into place on the top of the ESC. It keeps the COPPERHEAD 10 looking mean and provides an extra measure of protection. 
  • APPLICATION SPECIFIC MOTOR COMBOS: Available with a dozen different 4-POLE 12-SLOT sensored motor options to eliminate the guesswork in finding the right brushless power upgrade for your basher, crawler, on road vehicle, short course or monster truck (Motor not included).
  • WARRANTY: The COPPERHEAD10 is proudly designed and manufactured in Olathe, Kansas USA and backed by the Castle Creations one-year warranty. 
  • FULLY PROGRAMMABLE: Complete Castle feature set using Castle Link USB adapter (coupon for free Link included) and freely downloadable Castle Link Windows™ software, or wirelessly with the Castle Link iOS® or Android® app with B-LINK™ Bluetooth™ Adapter (B-Link not included).

Nather felicianoVerified owneron Castle Creations Copperhead 10 Waterproof 1/10 Sensored Combo w/1410 (3800Kv)

Love it awesome product, best addition to my model

ZackVerified owneron Castle Creations Copperhead 10 Waterproof 1/10 Sensored Combo w/1410 (3800Kv)

Running this in my TLR 22SCT. Runs cool and delivers great lap times with this setup. Easy to program with Castle Connect.

Robert SmithVerified owneron Castle Creations Copperhead 10 Waterproof 1/10 Sensored Combo w/1410 (3800Kv)

Put this combo in a Rustler 4x4 VXL. Set up was easy motor and esc fit perfect. Ive had no issues with power on pavement or the short course track. 17t pinion with 54t spur, its a monster on 3s would be uncontrollable on 4s.

Scott VandenhamVerified owneron Castle Creations Copperhead 10 Waterproof 1/10 Sensored Combo w/1410 (3800Kv)

I've been running Castle for awhile now...got a lot of 3800kv's in several rigs. This combo went in a Slash 2wd someone gave me that I converted to a buggy w/ Proline Megalodon body, Trenchers, etc. Super light, crazy fast and will pull the front end up w/ no problem on 3S....and stay controllable. Good run times, lot's of power....best bang for the buck for me. Only issue is I had to convert to steel Hot Racing steel spur gear/ Traxxas HD drivelines/ CV's (which cured previous failures of stock parts). More power...more problems

Greg Kingon Castle Creations Copperhead 10 Waterproof 1/10 Sensored Combo w/1410 (3800Kv)

Absolutely love it in my Slash 2wd! Runs cooler than the Sidewinder 4 version. Although I would suggest running a motor fan on a 4X4 application.

What reviewers say

All five reviewers rate this Copperhead 10 combo 5/5 and report strong performance across several 1/10 chassis, including a TLR 22SCT, a Rustler 4x4 VXL, and a converted Slash 2WD buggy. Reviewers describe it as powerful, fast and controllable on 3S, with easy setup and programming via Castle Connect. One reviewer noted that cooling was good in a 2WD application but suggested a motor fan for 4x4 use. Another reported that the extra power exposed weaknesses in stock drivetrain parts, requiring upgrades to steel spur gear, driveline and CV components. Reviews are all for the 1410 (3800Kv) variant and are generally positive, though the sample is small.

  • + Strong power and speed
  • + Easy setup and programming
  • + Runs cool in 2WD
  • + Controllable on 3S
  • − May need a motor fan in 4x4
  • − Stock drivetrain parts can fail under extra power
  • − Small review sample
