Default Castle Creations Sidewinder ESC now IN STOCK!




Just got an order of Sidewinder combos and ESCs. Great inexpensive high power ESC for your crawler or basher. Fully computer programmable sensorless/brushed ESC that is perfect for a flexible and affordable motor controller!

How would this compare for crawling against the MM? My only complaint is the startup,other than that I love my Max.

Can't wait to see what kind of combos you're going to have with these... I've been looking at your speedy scaler combo but I'm still not sure...

Should I take more vid with the speedy scaler combo? I can show it with the sidewinder too. I hit 40mph with the 6 turn version of that motor in my WK on 4s lipo and a MM I recommend a slipper for that speed.

That is the 12 turn on 3s. The 6t on 4s is the 40mph version that destroyed my WK diff.

Just learned that they come with wires installed from the factory. So, with exception to the battery plug there is no soldering needed like I first suspected. Good News!

Nope. You need to have the PHX link AKA the castle link to program it. Or have me do it for you for free.

Otherwise it is stick programmable like normal.

It does have drag brake. Shipping to canada depends on if you want insurance or not. Non insured is $15, insured is $25
