Dang John looking clean cut for summer
This is the only channel to head to of you want to (really) know how things work. Direct to the engineer that makes them.
I am another one who really likes the Aux wire function. No drag brake for trailing and full drag brake for on the rocks.
Nice look John. Just got a Copperhead and appreciate your thoughts; but, really want your new silent ESC for my Revolver-based crawlers.
I’ve been using the copperhead for my last two crawling sessions and it’s been performing absolutely great.
Somebody has seen a Barber. 1st time since Covid ? looking good! once again very useful info! Best description of the differences between the ESCs that I have heard!
yeah, first since covid, lol!
@@HolmesHobbies I thought it was the Covid cut! lol!
I love my copperhead 10. Never runs above 120F👍 I took the fan off and put in on my puller pro 3500 to help with the temps👌
Great summary! Just got mine in for the Ryft. 😊👌🏼
I have 2 mamba x esc, and 2 sw4, I wish I would have waited for this esc, but mamba x sure does kick butt in my monster truck...i know some people dont like the noise, but its kinda fun
John is one of my favorite people.
You are vital for the RC INDUSTRY,
- PLEASE KEEP UP WITH THE "OTHER" COMPETITION, SIR. 😉🤘
FOREIGN & DOMESTIC !!
- Thankyou for all you do John !!!! 😁
- Mr. Holmes is ON IT !!!! 👍🤘😁
New style 😍😍😍
Went shopping for the Copperhead and bought the Sidewinder 4
Looking dapper with the new do!
Or old do, based on his opening statement, but thats what I first noticed
Lookin' sharp, Mr. Holmes. Pretty cool ESC for sure :)
Have one in my ryft and I love it
Got the copperhead, love it paired with the revolver. Now just waiting on the ESC. No more noise
THE CONTENT WE NEED
Great video. Could you explain the removal of the on/off switch (how to). And why it fails on crawlers? Keep up the good work.
Just cut the wires and twist and solder the wire for the switch. That way it’s always ON, and you just unplug the battery to turn it on/Off. The power switches on them are know to fail, are hard to reach at times, and can be turned off if you roll your rig over or some how snag the switch if it’s unsecured. Also the contacts inside the switch just wear out. Basically removing the switch just fail proofs it, and they just aren’t needed since you should be unplugging your batteries anyway.
@@chevyon37s I never knew this was possible I hate my switch on my Mamba X always getting in the way. Wonder if this voids CCs warranty... 🤔
I bought mine as a combo with a 2850kv, ran it on a 4s n grinded my diff gear sets, lol, can't wait to see the future upgrades yall are doing
I love the auxiliary wire option of the mamba X. I use it to adjust drag brake percentage on the fly, I use that option a lot.
Same, I wish cheaper ESCs had them it's hard to not use it when you are used to it lol
Fixin to start a gspeed v3 build soon. Believe the copperhead will fit the bill pretty good. Thanks for the great info john!
I’m patiently waiting for that Holmes copperhead/oem controller.
I wonder when it will be in stock and if they won’t sell out in a day love all the Holmes products just wish more was available....
Just Picked up 2 of the Copperhead 10 with the Slate 1406 3800KV, one is going in my VS4-10 Ultra Build in June, the other may go into my Capra in place of a HW Axe FOC R1 2300kv after I finish the Build now. It will be interesting to see the difference in the Capra, after I run the HW for awhile.
Thank you sir.
I want that Stick chassis in the background !
Really want to see a head to head of this and the Axe system.
Also, stop cutting your hair you clean hippie.
Cheers fred
John you freak me out. Everytime I watch a video I'm not sure if I'm getting nappy ass lumberjack look or the Bible salesman.🤷♂️🤷♂️🤣🤣🤣
Copperhead...schmopperhead...lets see more about the mini esc!!
Yes great new ESC from Castle Creations...got one in my LMT now testing ..MIT be a little small wow it proforms far better then the HW I had in there ...
which hobbywing?
@@BR-ef2ji I don't want to start a issue. I am partial to Castle ...XR8 4s
@@tomandrews5392 oh i just was curious was esc it out performed. thanks a lot man, good day nice channel
Think I'll be getting one of these for the trailmaster pro 2700kv I just ordered.
Hi John. Any updates on your version of the Copperhead 10? Do you have a release date? Thanks
Nappy assed lumberjack..... classic!!
Nice esc and haircut sir.
Is the quiet mode software available yet? For the copperhead and or the mamba x?
John I thought you said you were coming out with a quiet version in conjunction with castle of the copperhead or did I misunderstand you ? I can't find anything on your website? Thanks
In ur honest opinion, the new hobbywing r2 or the copperhead in a new crawler build?🤔. What are u personally using?Great vid and thanks 👍
I’m still hoping for your version that you mentioned in the video. Will we see it soon? 😀
And I just purchased 2 Mamba X esc's...I usually like to go bigger incase I switch the ESC application and don't want to spend more money on something else. As always, great video John and I will be the one of many in the line waiting for your ESC. Hope your having a great weekend and the revolver was much louder than I liked in my Trx4 with the Mamba X.
Is there a good thread on how to delete the on/off switch and still have the ESC waterproof?
Thanks
If they had kept the aux wire I'd buy 2 or 3 but until then the mamba/micro are my go to escs
What are the differences between the SW3 and the SW4? Going into a rock bounce
Can you use the Copperhead Esc with a brushed motor?
I think I saw Terrance
Me too! 😬🤣
So this, or your upcoming sensored-capable ESC for a sensored crawler? :)
Will the HH one have an aux wire? That's kind of nice to be able to switch drag brake or whatever else firmware allows.
A haircut....wow, how inspiring, I think I will do the same !! 😆
- (this time) !! 😉
Great video, im looking for a new system for my weti and wraith. Thinking of sticking with the holmes Brxl and 13 turn 550 sport on 3s and a sensored Brushless for my yeti. Have you checked out the hobbywing sc8-sc10 sytems?
I'm curious about the axe sytem and tekins rx4? But if funds allow i am definitely leaning towards the new castle copperhead and slate 3800.
do you need an external BEC for high powered servos like the SHV800 on the copperhead?
What happened with the Copperhead based Holmes esc?
Any clipped on/off switches that I have are simply repurposed to control My LED's and light strips.
I really hope you can help do something with the software on the micro x to get rid of the whine like you have done with the copperhead. Please John we beg you, I love the revolver v2 but that noise can get annoying.
Hello, I have assembled a copperhead castle combo and it does not accelerate me. A single beep sounds every x time. If I do it, it sounds forced even when I am free from the engine.
question for ya. my copper head 10 shows me a green light when i go forward. and a red light when i go backwards.? is that normal? shoud it give me green when i reverse? thanks!
So yes I had one in my cart and got distracted on the first run when I looked back they were sold out lol
The description says Sensored only and Brushed Modes correct ?
Those modes are available too
Great video thanks! I'm having an issue with a Mamba X 1406-2280kv that I've installed into a new TF2 87'XtraCab. I'm noticing it chatters or stutters at ultra low throttle inputs when meeting resistance in both Smart sense and Sensored mode. When the truck rolls up to an obstacle and the wheels start to work it starts to chatter. I'm using the supplied rc4wd tf2 lwb pinion that came with the kit. I'd be really grateful if you've got any ideas as to what may be the cause. It's such a beautiful truck and I've put a lot of work into making the mamba X 2280 combo fit. Had to run new motor wires and make 90 degree bullets which ended up giving me around 1/32" to spare under the truck bed for the esc. The truck does behave completely normal at any speed above a crawl. Thanks for your time!
not sure... sorry
@@HolmesHobbies All good.
Are you and castle going to create any esc for drag racing?
Off topic question, but is that a Timberwolf chassis in the background right above the Willys?
A wreckluse
So probly mamba x for custom rock bouncers?
Yeah or Tekin RX4 is also great
Either really, it's beefy enough
Which one is quieter for the revolver sensor less?
The crawlmaster v2, a newer option.
Where's that quiet version? 🤔
What would you guys recommend for a revolver sw4 or copperhead. I have the money maybe the mamba x. I just want the best low speed control possible. Thanks
Either, both are fantastic sensorless!
well john i thought i had a switch failure n i did ... but im still having cutout of my copprrhead 10.. would it be from setting my cutoff at the higher setting as per your programming segestion? im going to try setting it back to the lower 3 something i think it was.. and turning on my alarms.. i cut n soildered the switch as it wouldnt shut off with it anymore anyway..lol. n still cuts off yet steering works till unplugged n replugged.. this wouldnt be convenient. in a comp situation lol
the one thing I didn't give a thought too.. the plug to the rx...lol. I think it's gonna be good now...
Why you not workin' for a quiet firmaware for the mamba x ? Really strong esc though
Shhhhh... don't let out our summertime secret.
@@HolmesHobbies How much longer until the announcement?
would love to know how the mamba-x micro compares to the copperhead. if only running 3s and 2700-kv
They would be quite similar, a little more drag brake from the copperhead
@@HolmesHobbies thank you so much!
When you remove the on/off switch what do you replace it with? Thanks!
Nothing. Just unplug the battery
Hey john. Jw about my mini CM. It keeps on beeping. Cant comment on the other video. Any help would be appreciated
Knock on wood, I have several corded X esc's with the cord & I've yet to run into any issues, fingers🤞🏼 tho.....
Who's this guy I clicked on the video I seen John standing there I was like he had hair the last time I swear he did lol
"okay, so its not easy to do..." lol
I need your help!! I have a everest 10 and need parts! Can you help me?? Please
anyone else have problems with the snake head paint literally falling off from the soft touch of a finger? mine is completely wore off and its brand new i havent even ran it.. the paint just fell off just from handling it.. like what is that? they have a 2 year old in the art department?
Didn't bob Vila sell these in the 80s
Is anyone running this in a 1/16 E-Revo ?
The big news is John's Hair has gone bye bye 🙈 how long will that take to grow back? 😊
I prefer Hobbywing more easy to work and no laptop require
You missed the price features... 🤷🏼♂️
Price might change, but its between the x and sw4
Hair cut took 10 yrs off my dude!
first
Short haired John again. lol
- Too much moo-la ($$$) for a ESC
....that does NOT have as much data-logging & adjustment(s) !! 🤔
I hope for that amount of money, this has more adjustment than the Hobbywing 1080 ESC !!
its a lot smoother, more powerful, and runs brushless. completely different classes of ESC
I like the new speed controller but it costs more than the mamba X. Why would anyone pay more for a less capable reduced feature ESC. I can pick up a Mamba X for 160 this new copperhead is 190 on average. I will stick with the proven Mamba X for my dollars.
check your listing details, my friend - those $190 listings are the ESC paired with a motor for the Copperhead.
By itself it's $119.99... ;)
