Default Sidewinder on 4s with Two motors?

I know some people are running there Newages on 3s with two motors. I would like to run my OCM/Berg on 4s with two 45t motors with CC bec. Is anyone running a side winder like this? Can it handle the amp draw of the 2 45t motors on 4s with a Rizzo style DIG?

I have ran 4s on my sidewinder, pushing a 4600kv inrunner. I think it would be fine with the CCBEC as long as the temp was watched.

You could see as high as 80 to 100 amps at stall, if the batteries would put it out and the rig didn't break. A machine wound might smoke a wind fairly easy.

That is what I am thinking as well. But I can only sneak so much past my wife, I may have to wait on a MM.

My battires are 25c 1450 mah I am not sure they will even put that much for long. I may go 2s and 35t or 4s and 55t.


Thanks guys

I hooked it up 4s with two 45t lathe motors. It works well, The ESC does run a little warm I may have to back it down if I plan on running no stop for a long time. Or I may have to add a fan to it. I can say that the new Berg if pretty slick
