You need to reprogram it to run in brushed mode. I think this can be accomplished without the Castle Link, but the Link is the easiest way to gain full adjustability of the sidewinder!

running the latest firmware? I forget what firmware it was but at one point you needed to use the red and WHITE wire IRRC to get brushed motors too run... if you have the latest firmware then thats not the problem.

Nope... latest firmware uses red and black... sorry it was not so simple. Are you sure the motor is good? maybe a hung brush keeping it from starting?

i touched it to just the battery and it took off. so the motor is good. i think i have a bad esc that wont run brushed motors. because it will run brushless just fine.

I have a sidewinder that only runs brushed motors, not brushless. I also programmed it right.
