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.

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 .

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

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 👍
