well the reason i asked is bcos i have a couple of sensored system(vtx) for my trucks and i m looking for flexibility here, being able to switch esc/motor and stuffs but the attractive pricing of the copperheads i just cant overlook
(had the RX8, it was able to run both type motors, not sure abt other systems)
thanx guys for clearing things up

For the 4x4 slash, the 4500 is ideal for bashing or racing. If you want to go really fast, get the 5150.

I am thinking about giving the Copperhead 4500KV system a try in my SC10 4x4. I have always been a fan of sensored motors but it seems like these may have a chance to change my mind.

It is a smooth system for un-censored. It is a bad*** little system

Well i just ordered a copperhead 5150 combo to try in my scte. Have been runnin mmp/ 4600 tenshock and its been good. I tend to try the different stuff as most everyone i race w/ runs rx8/pro4 combos. I am one of the faster guys at the track and get asked alot about my setups so i hope this system is as good as u all make it out to be and i will be selling a few more of these for u lol......i would b up for testing any 1/8E buggy products u may have in the works as well

If anyone has any suggestions on gearing with the 4600 in an SC10 4x4 I would appreciate it.

This whole SCT thing is pretty new to me.

Start with 14 tooth pinion and stock spur. Check temps and adjust for track size and ambient temps. Do not rely on the "touch method"; get a decent quality temp gauge and check at 5 min. intervals.

Thanks for the input. I will order a couple other sizes as well.

Would the 5150kv be good for a Losi scte? I'm hearing a lot of good things about this system. Wanting a reliable racing system

Yep!!!! We did a lot of testing using the SCTE. Its a good fit.

Does the combo come with programmer

I would say to call in to Viper and ask for a local dealer. Any local HRP dealer can sell the Viper line.

The Copperhead has 5 different profiles that can be accessed without the ProGauge programmer, but you will need the ProGauge to customize a profile.

Here is a link to the Copperhead instructions to show what different profiles are available to you. Copperhead Instructions

Looking for a comparison between a 4 pole 540 Castle 3800 and Viper's new 4 pole 540 3900 motor.

Anyone had both and can speak to the differences between the two?

Do you still get a good amount of torque with the 5150kv? And was the testing with a stock scte? And one more question, what kind of temperatures can i expect to see at the esc and motor on this setup after running through a 5000mah 40c lipo pack?

Thanks
