ABOUT THE COPPERHEAD 10
Mo

Please note that while the Copperhead 10 is capable of handling significant
power, your motor must also be up for the task. Always run your motor within
the manufacturer’s specs. Monitor motor, battery, and controller temps carefully
and never let the motor get above 100° C (212° F). Excessive heat in the motor can
damage the motor, the Copperhead 10, and the batteries.

Always start with stock gearing. If you wish to change the gearing, motor, or
battery, check your motor temperature often on the first run. If the motor gets
too hot, increase the spur size, reduce the pinion size, or reduce the pack voltage.

The Copperhead 10 features
Data Log Lite. You will be able to measure and record
important power system information during your race, turn-by-turn. After your
run, you can download and analyze this log using Castle Link. You will be able to
inspect many parameters including battery voltage, motor RPM, ESC temperature
and more.
Data Log Lite maximizes use of memory space by providing access to
the most important data available. Additional information about using the data
logging features can be found in the Driver’s Ed Guide (“Data Logging”).
