question about Castle ESC's

[tank45]

Hello all,
I have a brand new Castle copperhead esc lying around that I wanted to put in a SCT for racing. It is a sensored ESC so I am assuming I need to run a sensored motor. BUT does it have to be a castle brand motor? I can't seem to get a definitive answer. I am assuming it would be ok provided the motor I purchase is sensored?

Thanks

You can run both. I had min on a 2 pole team trinity.
I got the 2280kv. The Trinity is a 4450kv.

No tou don't have to run a sensored motor

thanks

You can run whatever you want as long as the esc can handle it. Brushless esc can also run both BL and Brushed. But a Brushed esc can't run both only Brushed. Just make sure you check the specs on the out put. And the motors voltage. If to big then you could have heat issues. You want to always try to have bigger esc then what the minimum would be. To be on safe side...

Brushless esc can also run both BL and Brushed.

Is that true for all brushless esc's? Thought that just specific ones could do that.

don't see anywhere where this esc will run in noncensored mode...
not all censored esc will operate in noncensored mode. Explain high 1 ...

It's in the manual on how to wire unsensored, sensored and brushed, I think that's part of the "smart sense".

Pretty cool that it can handle both brushless and brushed.
