|  Motor / ESC combo Castle Creations
Is anyone running this combo on their trail rig / Wraith? Castle Creations 1/10 SV3 Sidewinder WP 4600kV System If so, how is the drag brake when configured? Plan on doing a blend of trailing and light crawling with my rig. Thanks! |

thats not going to be a very good setup..that esc is not sensored, which will make it difficult to crawl without cogging. It also only has a max drag brake of 40% , some use the esc, but alot who use that esc will use it with a brushed motor. there are much better choices for the money. thats just been my experience with the sv2 and sv3 esc's

This is just my opinion & experience. Nothing against Castle, they make a fantastic product. But if your wanting to do some crawling as well as trail running. Try a Holmes Hobby BRXL with a brushed motor. Again not an endorsement, just my opinion. Hope this helps. |

^ X2... is what I run ( HH's BR/XL + 35t expt. mtr. ) and Holmes Hobbies ESC's are Castle USB/Link compatible. the BR/XL is smooth running... brushed motors run submerged without issue. I prefer the brushed e systems for crawlers less issue if waterproofing is of any concern. -------------- If wanting to go brushless... waterproofing will require more effort. As the motor/sensors are not waterproof or water friendly. Castle MMP or HH's BLE ( both Castle USB/Link compatible ) sensor capable system is near mandatory if running brushless. JM $ .02 |

Brushless NON sensored motors can crawl exceptionally well. Not that 4600, not by any possible stretch of the imagination unless you run it on 1s with 2 gear reduction units bolted between the motor and trans.  Something around 500-1500kv will crawl but that's about all its good for.I run an sv3/5700 4 pole castle setup in my basher on 3s and it rips for what it is, but it's not a crawler by any stretch of the imagination. Run an sv3, older Ae2 or a brxl if you want to go brushed. Brushless non sensored will require a very low kv and higher voltage to have any chance of being decent all around. |
