Default What Motor to use with Sidewinder???

Like it says, what motors are you guys running in the sidewinder.. I wanna ditch my Crawler esc because it's a glitchy piece of s***. I want a esc/motor combo that's nice and smooth.

HH 7t Cobalts

But just about any 45t or 55t motor will give you what you're looking for. I run a cheap 45t Integy in one of my rigs and it's perfectly smooth. The majority of it has to do with how you have your throttle curve set on your Sidewinder. I've got the same curve on all three of my rigs and they feel perfect to me with it.

Awsome, thats what I like to hear. That HH 7T Cobalt is sweet but just soooo expensive. Now to set the throttle curve do I have to have the PC Link?

I have run an Integty 55t and 35t with my sidewinder. The castle link s/w is the way to go.

Both are smooth running for me.
