Glad to know I'm not the only one catching air with the TRX 4!
It's a versatile machine. So capable and burly!
It does it all :)
What kv are you using not sure what to go with don’t know the benefit of the different KVs
I recently put the Limited Edition Copperhead 10 with 3200kv motor in my new Wendigo. The goals of installing the Castle Copperhead system were to get better smoother acceleration from a dead stop, and to get better low speed control. Both goals were met easily: with a 14 tooth pinion my Wendigo now has both great slow speed crawling and still has good top speed. The Wendigo is much more versatile now: it can be used as both a crawler and a rock racer, depending on where I am and what I feel like doing.
Do you think a 2400kv is too much for a Raft or rock racers?
That slow mo jump at the beginning was just perfect. 😎😎
13.5 mph! very impressive on that high flying jump! (A+) it gets better and better all the time!
Yes, on a singlespeed gear! 17t on a TRX4 sport. Nice modulation too.
Man your videos are the best!!!! HANDS DOWN!!!!
Wow... Did I just witness that thing popping a wheelie! Great video brother! 💯
Yes, and that thing has front brass portal axles.
This video answered all my questions and lead me to what Castle system to get. Thank you Sir!
Was waiting for a review on this esc. Thanks Francis.
Looks like he found the full throttle function for the first time
Putting this system in my 2021 Bronco !
The crawler world is getting a lot better at least control wise. we just need ultra sticky rubber now, and the problems that come with that too... umm did that TRX-4 have overdrive on the front axel?
If not, all good.. just seemed after a few views it was a slight... Awesome vid Francis, epic. Looking forward to a solid bash here in Syd cos I've been flat out with work.. (Completely the opposite of 12 months ago) Me + X-Maxx sendage... breakage and a solid day out... ohhh and a few other rcs too.. Nice fall weather here....!
Hope you're well mate. Big cheers From Sydney Australia!!! Love the Channel!
This one has overdrive front. 12.5%
Have the copperhead limited edition in my redcat wendigo and like it a lot.
The footage of it running was wicked cool thanks for sharing. 🤣😂🤣👍🏻🔥😎🔥🤙🏻
If Traxxas came out with a brushless trx4 for $300 and it was a basher I would definitely get it
Traxxas, 300$, brushless?
Those three words just won't exist in the same sentence. It would be cool but if it says Traxxas on it and it's brushless it was 4-500$ if not more.
@@ryurc3033 now that i have some mire rc knowledge your right 😂 now i have a red cat gen 7
Thank you this has been alott of useful information for a beginner in this hobby
Glad it was helpful!
Can’t wait to put it in my SCX24! 😆
It's a good middle ground now.
I like your channel R/C tell me about the RC life. 💯💯😎😎
Nice buddy
Very informative
We only aim to inform. No fun was had. :)
I got 2 pf these esc one on a comp toyzuki build with a holmes six shooter and it's amazing.
The other one is on my scx10.3 with a brood riot outrunner it goes thru water like nothing not a single issue on both great esc for the price 👍
2280kv version in my trx4..... 14lb monster 3s wheelies on the bumper till full speed.... IN HIGH range
just as smooth/controllable as my axe 3300kv v1 in my scx10.2, another brass heavy queen
I just got that Castle combo used like new on Amazon for $120!
Oh man, what a deal
I got the 3200kv one in my rustler and my 4 Tec One thing I don’t like is this new copperhead isn’t compatible with the castle B Link!!!
We tried ours and it worked ok. Bluetooth right?
Same issue I had with mine on b link. Some say it works some say otherwise. I had to go back to hobby shop as his stuff was up to date on his computer to tune from. But b link and field card-no luck
@@RCReviewChannel yep. I have 2 units and it didn’t work on either. Castle website says copperhead isn’t compatible. Strange.
Worked on both of mine no issues.
Always good to have more options
✊🏽 Mr. Rc review
Great video and review. If u could only have one for a crawler... hobbywing r2 or copperhead Francis??? Wanted ur honest opinion. Looking at both and need a little help. Putting it into an rc4wd C2x custom build. Thanks sir. Have a great day my friend. 😁👍
tip to whoever is thinking about buying the copperhead 10.. it doesnt fit well at all on a vs4 chassis.. im completely at a stand still... the fan needs to be removed and it needs 90 degree posts.. the bullet style ones on it shoot your motor leads straight up and the interior hits it with no clearance..
What is the best brushless CC Crawler Motor to use with the Copperhead 10?
hobbywing just needs to make their escs 2-4s compatible
I have the copper head 3200kv in my Redcat Wendigo and love it but for a Christmas gift to myself I am thinking of getting something for my TRX4. I am trying to decide between a copperhead 1800 or 2200kv kit or a hobbywing Fusion 1800kv. The rig is just used for crawling . What is the better choice ? A lot of my friends say fusion and attest to its durability but I am not so sure. $30 more for the copperhead but only having to replace a motor or esc rather then both seems worth it to me .
The only problem with the castle creations brand is they are not completely waterproof when it comes to the sensor cable compared to I think hobbywing has a completely waterproof esc plus the brushless motor is completely waterproof
That is true. The Hobbywing cable is IP rated. Have you had problems when running the Castle in water?
@@RCReviewChannel yep
Dielectric grease on sensor plug is used with all watewaterproof ESC with sensor plug that you use grease with all sensor plugs around water sir
Super like 👍
Super duper!
Do you think this esc could be used in an ebuggy on 4s? I kinda want to try it with hobbywing stopping production on the XR8 sct esc. They were great for 4s buggy and truggy with a small footprint and only costing $120 you couldn't beat it. Now hobbywings competition esc has gone up to $220 or more. I'm thinking about trying a hobby star 150 amp esc that is only 120 on eBay. Thanks
Awsome jumps in a crawler
For me i will avoid castle creation, i have a mamba x with 1406-3800kv combo for scx10ii, look great but the switch/sensored connectors are not water proof, after a year i try to clean up the wires with zip ties, soldering inside the red the circuit board loosened (wiggles) and shorten the unit, the esc still have power but heat up really fast and sound funny, i stop using it, I have much luck with hobbywing, to me they are much better.
We have the same issues like yours, 3 of us using this copperhead 10 combo and our Rig power cut off multiple time after slow crawl.. Sounds like overheating issues.. We tried to programme again but still the same problem...we only used ovonics 3s 2200mah lipo for our element Probuild Kit...
Micro mamba x is shown not sidewinder 4
Thank you for that.
How does it compare to hobby wing r2 3300kv
How do you calibrate the esc for a less aggressive drag brake? Throttle trim doesnt help it at all, being told i need to get a castle link and hook it up to a computer
If you let off the throttle it locks up basically. Runs fine otherwise but it instantly stops doesnt roll
3 Poly a new competitior with amazing smoothness even with sensorless inrunner.
You mentioned the ryft would a hobbywing max10 combo on 3s power it also? Thanks Joe
👍👌
Suitable for the Ryft ? crawling - rock jumping ?
That's nice👌👍
How are you tuning yours? The blue link and field card doesn’t work on it sadly. Hopefully they update the b link in the future to be able to tune without hooking up to laptop
Could you go over the settings you have on the copperhead system
Do you think this esc is better than the hobbywing axe?
They are both different, not 1 better than other. Castle esc's can be used with a variety of motors. The hobbywing must be used with an axe motor.
Castle has more punch and versatility.
Hobbywing smoother and superior drag brake and has Bluetooth standard.
Programming via computer typically with Castle, Hobbywing via App and your phone.
Really depends on what you're after.
Cheers 👍
Would you recommend putting this on a 1/10 Touring Car?
What 4s battery do you use in this setup?
Is that Copperhead smoother than the Hobbywing AXE 550 R2 3300?
I have the same setup as but some him my reverse has more power and speed then ford everything is connected how can flip the rotation
Can you use the Copperhead Esc with a brushed motor?
I think for a crawler (TRX4 and the like) this is a good middle ground for sure. I think for a Ryft with say a 1415 I think the Mamba X is probably a better fit.
Maybe a comparison between this and the Fusion? :)
The fusion has no pop. The Hobbywing R2 is a good competitor.
Hey man which ESC has better low speed control the sw4 or the copperhead?
Hi was wondering if anyone would know if the castle sensored crawler edition 1406 1900kv and the copper head esc would work good in the ryft as far as power and moderate speed. 7:41
I got a trx4 sport kit, I Built it Like a year ago I don’t know what Electronics to get for it. Any advice?
Just wondering what gear ratio are you using with the copperhead on 4s
I run the limited edition 3200kv 550 length 1412 copperhead motor in my trx4 with my S4 esc and it works great
He do you have shop at AliExpress?
What motor should i get for this or should i get the combo
Will this work with stock trx4 traxxas reciever/controller?
Does this esc have a foc or something like it in the programming
where is that crawling spot?? can you post the gps cordinance ? or address? 🙏🏼🙏🏼
What motor would you recommend for this esc?
what saiz batery can use this item
Apparently this video didn't age well, it's $180 everywhere. I can get a Mamba X combo for just 20 bucks more. Prices are getting rediculous.
How about a programming tutorial?
Can you run brushed and brushless on this esc???
One or the other at a time
I don’t run brushless on anything anymore. I’ve had too many problems with them over the last 2 Years.
These new ones seem more reliable than brushed. Much better in water for sure.
Weight rig ?
what servo are you running in your sport now?
The red Traxxas 400 high torque servo. It has developed the shakes at idle Very lightly used.
@@RCReviewChannel there this brand name OMG,they made good servo also, would you mind doing review on them,just want to know what your opinion on those brand
do you have a HG-P410 Tamiya?
why people don't they buy it ? it got tall the turning raduis turning front and rear it perfect for rock crawling like sharp turning and uneven rocks clibing ?
what is your favorite shorty battery for crawling?
I can't reverse my copper head...
It's pretty simple
Had they kept the auxiliary mode wire I'd be all over it
Good feedback. What do you use it for?
@@RCReviewChannel everything I have a with a mamba x/micro x is set up for crawling/rock race. Set it up for 3 position. That way you have full brake then half brake then of course no brake. When racing or bashing around with our crawlers or even on a trail you don't need the truck to lock up every time you let off.
@@rc-daily aux wire for a different drag brake rate In 1st and 2nd gear is what it’s good for. Idk I’m happy with a slow drag brake ramp speed in both gears it works fine.
Until they catch fire.. castle cremations 🤷😂
Copperhead is bads$$$
It's the right product to introduce these days.
