Castle Creations Sidewinder SW4 Waterproof 1/10 ESC/Motor Combo w/1410 (3800kV) — CSE010-0164-05

The Castle Sidewinder SV4 12.6V Waterproof 1/10 ESC builds upon Castle’s most popular platform, the Sidewinder 1/10 series. The ESC is the first of its kind to run Castle’s CRYO-DRIVE technology that combines technology from cutting-edge hardware and software advancements to increase thermal performance. Cooler temps mean longer runs and more power! The Sidewinder 4 is a versatile ESC and is a great choice for short course, on road and monster truck applications when paired with the correct motor, as well as rock crawlers when used in brushed mode.

This combo includes a Sidewinder 4 ESC and 1410-3800Kv sensored motor. The 1410-3800kv is ideal for short course trucks running on 2s LiPo and weighing up to 6.5 lbs; it can be run on a 3s LiPo with very conservative gearing. It is a cool running torque animal for lighter 1/10th scale 2WD stadium trucks and buggies running up to a 3s LiPo.
