sidewinder vs eiger esc

[ezee]

Sidewinder sv2 a way better value. My eiger crapped out on me. Ordered sv2 Hands down the better product.. awesome packaging, instructions and performance.. quality product

Were you running 2S or 3S?
What motor?
Was it the standard or Pro?
When it ran, what did you like/dislike about it?

I ask since I have a Goat Crawler that is dead and was wondering if I should trade it in on the Eiger.
It would likely get used with a 35T brushed motor.

I have plenty of CC ESC's, so I know how they are (and I like them).

Rockstar 35t motor on a 2s lipo. It just screams quality. Ajustable everything w link. And the w the field link, leave your comp at home.

The eiger standard was just to hard to reach in my wraith for one touch programing and only had a few settings. It also seemed to always run way to hot.. might be cause of small size.

And one last thing the eiger came w tamiya plugs, which I am not a big fan of switched to deans

I'm assuming this is the CC ESC?? I already know what they're like, just asking about the Eiger.

PS, you could also have just opened your post #3 & edited it to add info instead of making more posts.
Just saying.

I just got an Eiger in my TF2. Ran a pack through it to test everything out. I did not switch modes or anything...just ran in Default Crawler Mode. The only thing I noticed is that it is FASTER in Reverse. I am going to call Novak tomomrow to see whats up....

Your motor may have some timing in it, but in "reverse", thus the speed difference.
Did you have to either reverse the radio or wiring to get it to work correctly??

Have not tried anything yet. It is hooked up as per the instructions. Its the rockstar 35t. Maybe they did a quicker reverse to get out of sticky situations when at a comp?? dunno...we will see after I call them...I guess.

Its either a radio/ESC calibration issue or a motor timing issue.
