I've never attempted manual. Vista and 7 require you to follow special directions on castles site, kinda a pain to figure out the first time. After you get it you'll love the ease of castlelink.

Holy cow! Winders 98?!?!?!? No one hardly uses XP, let alone 98. Bummer you cant download the software. The micro sidewinders are a great ESC. That's what I am running. Way smoother and better drag brake than an FXR |

| Re: Sidewinder micro Smoother and better drag brake than FX-R? How many others share your opinion? Not saying your wrong, I'm just gearing up for a new build and was having to make a choice between SW micro's or FX-R's. Further info would be appreciated!

IMO the Sidewinder is much smoother and drag brake is awesome. I have ran the fxr in the past and have switched them all out for the Sidewinder MICROS. When room allows I run the brxl. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk |

I also prefer the Castle stuff over the FXR's. I'm currently running the dual sidewinders but I have the castle link. Ask your neighbor or someone who has an OS that actually works and just program it through the castle link. Takes all of about 30 seconds if that..

I'm running dual FX-R's in my 2.2 Bully and dual Sidewinder micros in my XR-10. Either ESC can be a good bet, but if I had a choice, I would get pretty much any Castle ESC. | |
