* The Copperhead 10 was designed to use mini
servos. While any servo will fit the ideal weight
distribution is best achieved with a min servo such
as the Futaba 9602, 3650, JR 3650, etc.
The Copperhead 10 is the first 2 nd generation World GT car. After two years of racing and testing we had more than few
good ideas that we wanted to incorporate in our next World GT car. As the concept for the new car started to come
together we realized this was not going to be a DB10RRR. There we too many subtle tweaks, changes in suspension
geometry, altering the chassis torsional stiffness as well as optimizing the car for the latest Brushless/LiPo power systems.
The result of all of this is the Copperhead 10. This car is everything the DB 10R was and much, much more. All the
changes focused on expanding the cars setup envelope. This means its is easier to get the car setup on a wider variety
of surfaces. From club races on low grip parking lot tracks to the carpet at the A-Main of the Snowbird Nationals, the
Copperhead 10 can easily be setup to win.
Please read through the instruction manual carefully. Even if you are an experienced R/C racer, there are some details
about the Copperhead 10 that are different. To get the most out of your kit you must have it assembled correctly.
