ABOUT THE COPPERHEAD 10
Motors
Plese note tht while the Copperhed  is cpble of hndling significnt
power, your motor must lso be up for the tsk. Alwys run your motor within
the mnufcturer’s specs. onitor motor, bttery, nd controller temps crefully
nd never let the motor get bove ° C (° F). Excessive het in the motor cn
dmge the motor, the Copperhed , nd the btteries.
Gearing
Alwys strt with stock gering. If you wish to chnge the gering, motor, or
bttery, check your motor temperture often on the first run. If the motor gets
too hot, increse the spur size, reduce the pinion size, or reduce the pck voltge.
Programming
The Copperhed  is progrmmble vi trnsmitter (see Driver’s Ed Guide ) or
settings my be progrmmed vi computer with  Cstle Link USB dpter (coupon
for free dpter included in pckge). You cn lso progrm with  mobile device
using  Cstle B•Link Bluetooth® Adpter (sold seprtely). See the Drivers’ Ed
Guide for more instructions on trnsmitter progrmming nd the Cstle Link system
( “Tuning with Cstle Link” nd “Trnsmitter Progrmming” ).
Data Log Lite
The Copperhed  fetures Dt Log Lite . You will be ble to mesure nd record
importnt power system informtion during your rce, turn-by-turn. After your
run, you cn downlod nd nlyze this log using Cstle Link. You will be ble to
inspect mny prmeters including bttery voltge, motor RP, ESC temperture
nd more. Dt Log Lite mximizes use of memory spce by providing ccess to
the most importnt dt vilble. Additionl informtion bout using the dt
logging fetures cn be found in the Driver’s Ed Guide (“Dt Logging”).

Product Use
Statement
• Applying voltges higher thn .V will cuse irreprble
dmge to your controller.
• The Copperhed 10 is  high-performnce controller; you must
use high-dischrge cells in your high-performnce ppliction
to ensure vehicle performnce
(see Driver’s Ed Guide, “A ord
About Btteries”).
• The Copperhed 10 requires the use of connectors designed for
50+ mps continuous. Ex. Cstle 4.0mm Polrized Connectors
(Driver’s Ed Guide, “Connectors nd Power iring”).
• The Copperhed  is not intended for humn or niml
propulsion.
• Filure to dhere to the Product Use Sttement constitutes
 violtion of the wrrnty greement, nd will result in non-

GETTING STARTED
. Solder  high qulity bttery connector to the ESC (see Driver’s Ed Guide
“Connectors nd Power iring” ).
. ount the ESC nd motor into the vehicle.
. Connect motor to the ESC (see
Driver’s Ed Guide, “otor iring” ).
. Instll the sensor dust cover or connect the motor sensor hrness nd wire
(necessry to retin the RX wire).
. Plug in the RX wire into throttle (#) nd fn wire into uxiliry (#/#).
6. Clibrte your ESC to your rdio. (See below).
YOU ARE NOW READY TO GO!
THROTTLE CALIBRATION
1. Rdio on, bttery plugged in, ESC o.
2. Hold full throttle, turn ESC on (green LED).
3. hen red LED flshes, go to full reverse.
4. hen yellow LED flshes, go to neutrl.
5. Armed nd redy! NOTE: ot intended for opertion while submerged in liquid. If unit is operted in wet
conditions, rinse with fresh wter to remove dirt or corrosives, then fully dry unit. Fn is
not wter resistnt. Remove the fn from the ESC before exposure to liquids.
