yes you can, I wouldnt recomend it in a single motor application but some people have done it with good luck, many of the MOA comp guys run 2 of them in their crawlers powering 540 sized motors, (micro sidewinder is the exact same ESC) with the "high power wiring" you would lose reverse... thats pretty useless for a rock crawler |

I have used the Mamba 25 in my shafty crawlers on 3S and it works just great. You must use an external BEC though. Do not use the high power wiring. |

| thanks grizzly, the BEC is something I often overlook as I now think all crawlers run one anyway . yes BEC is needed for sure.
