Castle Creations Copperhead 10 Waterproof ESC + SLATE-2850kV Sensored Brushless Motor Combo for 1/10 Crawler

Overview

The Castle Creations Copperhead 10 Waterproof Crawler Combo (010-0166-07) is engineered for 1/10 scale crawlers and trail trucks that demand maximum control, smooth low-speed performance, and dependable torque. This combo pairs the waterproof Copperhead 10 sensored ESC with the Castle SLATE 2850kV sensored brushless motor, creating an ideal setup for technical crawling, scale realism, and extended trail driving.

The Copperhead 10 ESC delivers ultra-smooth sensored throttle control, enabling precise wheel movement and reduced cogging at very low speeds. Its waterproof construction ensures reliable performance in wet, muddy, and dusty environments commonly encountered during trail runs.

The SLATE 2850kV motor is tuned specifically for crawler use, emphasizing high torque, efficiency, and control rather than top speed. The lower kV rating provides improved low-end power, cooler operation, and longer runtimes - perfect for heavy crawler rigs and demanding terrain.
