Copperhead 10 16.8V Sensored Waterproof ESC Internal BEC (CSE10016600)
Copperhead 10 16.8V Sensored Waterproof ESC Internal BEC (CSE10016600)
The Copperhead 10 16.8V Sensored Waterproof ESC with Internal BEC is a 1:10 scale electronic speed controller designed for 2S–4S operation in 1:10 vehicles. It pairs CRYO-DRIVE cooling technology with sensored motor support and an internal BEC to power high-torque servos, delivering cooler temps, smoother starts, and reliable performance across crawlers, buggies, and trail runs.
Built for versatility in 1:10 scale builds, it offers a selectable 5.5V or 7.5V internal BEC (up to 6A peak), a dual-use fan guard for crawler setups, and Data Logging Lite that records essential metrics—battery voltage, ripple, controller temperature, motor RPM, and motor temperature—via Castle Link. SMARTSENSE startup provides cog-free starts and strong low-speed torque, then the ESC transitions to efficient sensorless timing for peak performance, all in a waterproof package designed for wet conditions.

Overview
The Copperhead 10 16.8V Sensored Waterproof ESC with Internal BEC is a state-of-the-art speed controller designed specifically for 1:10 scale enthusiasts. This model fits perfectly between the SIDEWINDER 4 as an entry-level upgrade and the high-performance MAMBA X, making it an ideal choice for a variety of applications including crawling, bashing, and racing.
This ESC incorporates CRYO-DRIVE™ technology, which minimizes heat generation during operation, enhancing thermal performance and extending run times. The unit features SMARTSENSE™ technology, providing cog-free starts and excellent low-speed control by utilizing the motor’s sensors at startup, transitioning seamlessly to sensorless mode for peak performance.
The Copperhead 10 is equipped with DATA LOGGING LITE capabilities, allowing users to capture key performance parameters such as battery voltage, controller temperature, and motor RPM. This data can be analyzed using Castle Link software to optimize performance and battery life.
Additionally, the internal Battery Eliminator Circuit (BEC) can be set to either 5.5V or 7.5V, offering ample power for high-torque servos without the need for external BECs. A dual-use fan guard is included, which can be easily removed if fan cooling is not required, maintaining a sleek appearance while providing added protection.
The Copperhead 10 is engineered for use with 2s-4s configurations and is compatible with a range of applications, making it a versatile choice for hobbyists looking for performance, reliability, and innovation in their 1:10 scale vehicles.
