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.

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.
@jamesmorrell29013 жыл бұрын
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.

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.

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.

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..........
