Yeah, unless you wanted to go to a 3s Lipo, that ESC sounds just as good as a Sidewinder.

I picked it up for $240, but I see they jacked the price up to $310. I guess I nabbed it on a Christmas special or something. There are a couple of other guys on this thread that have the same kit. I'd PM them to see where they got theirs. | |

i'm on the waiting list at CKRC....if ANYONE can match their price...i'd buy today. but i wonder if the AE2 will handle 3s..........i mean i knwo it'll have a 2s cutoff, but if you're careful it'd be liek running a 3s on the ae1. and....i wondering if you could update the firmware to the sidewinder firmware to have a 3s cutoff?? anyone tried? |

I showed the screenie... there's no other firmware to update to. Unless you can force an upload of different firmware, that's it.

Looks like initial retail pricing is $74, but when you can get a Sidewinder for $70, I assume the price will drop once they are more available.

My friend was looking at buying this for his home-brew, but when the price finally showed up on Tower, he thought differently. I DO hope it goes down, for AXIAL's sake. | |

Especially with the Sidewinder SV2 being released in February, which so far is retail for $70. I do think it is nice for a company like Castle to co-develop an ESC with Axial, and for being an esc that comes with a ready to crawl vehicle, that's a really great thing. |

I just bought a rtc scorpion as a Christmas gift for my son and it has all new electronics. We are just figuring out how everything works on it now. I really like the adjustable drag brake on the the TX.
