It would get power to the motors but typically these cheap ESC's are very underwhelming for cralwers. The lack of drag brake and reverse pause make them user unfriendly IMO. Save your money for a good ESC like the TEkin FXR.

I tried going the cheap route when i built my 2.2 crawler and learned that you truley get what you pay for. I went through 2 esc's before i saved up and bought the tekin FXR. So total for one good Esc (includes 2 cheap ones) was about $200. Lesson learned(the hard way). |

Correct me if I am wrong, but I do believe that two 27T motors will have approximately the same current draw on the ESC as one 13T motor. You will need to find something that will hold up to a 13T motor. Technically, the Moped should be able to hold up to the job, but I killed two of them before I decided they werent worth the effort.

IIRC, the Sidewinder does not have a motor limit, but you might want to verify that with Castle Creations first.

It doesn't have a motor limit but it does have a voltage limit with certain motors. Contact Castle Creations and they can give you the motor info. I have run everything from a 55T lathe to a 27T epic on mine all on 3S packs with no issues. Jason |

That is what I was saying....I believe that two 27T motors hooked up to 1 ESC will draw double the current of one 27T motor. This is the reason I was saying to find an ESC that can handle a 13T motor... I would still call Castle Creations and verify this with them: Support: support@castlecreations.com Phone: (913) 390-6939 Office Hours: Monday - Friday from 9AM to 5PM CST.

Sidewinder has a 19t brushed motor limit. Great ESC for the price though.
