Home Remote & App Controlled Vehicles Remote & App Controlled Vehicle Castle Creations SW4 12.6V 2A BEC WP SL ESC 1406-5700 Sens Motor, CSE010016402

Brushless power from the leader in aftermarket upgrades, the Sidewinder 4 builds upon Castle's most popular platform, the SIDEWINDER 1:10 SCALE SERIES.
The Sidewinder line of ESCs are our Sport-Class Surface Speed Controllers. They're designed to withstand the most abusive environments while keeping your ride moving fast and cool. They are sensorless and have loads of Castle Power!
CRYO-DRIVE TECHNOLOGY combines cutting-edge hardware and software advancements to significantly increase thermal performance by reducing the amount of time the ESC’s electrical components spend generating heat. Your setup will be able to handle higher gear ratios, in heavier vehicles, with longer runs.
COOLER TEMPS mean LONGER RUNS and MORE POWER in your SIDEWINDER 4 setup.
Fully programmable using a Castle Link USB adapter (sold separately) and freely downloadable Castle Link Windows software or the Castle Link App for Android or iOS and a B-LINK Bluetooth Adapter (sold separately).

Product Description

The SIDEWINDER 4 BASHER EDITION COMBO includes a SIDEWINDER 4 ESC, featuring CRYO-DRIVE™ Technology, and a 1406-5700Kv brushless motor. This pairing is perfect for 2WD short course trucks on 2s LiPo and geared conservatively. It makes a great combo for 1/10th scale 2WD Stadium trucks and buggies on 2s for general bashing and limited runs on 3s; temperatures will climb quickly on 3s. It also makes a great power upgrade for 1/10th scale on-road cars for 2s and 3s use. Maximum recommended vehicle weight for this combo is no more than 5lbs with battery, ready-to-run. Our 4-pole 12-slot motor designs boast exceptional efficiency, and the oversized NMB bearings and vibration dampening system ensure the longest bearing life possible. High-strength, high-temperature grade neodymium sintered magnets combined with a high-strength Kevlar wrap ensures the integrity of the rotor is not compromised during harsh running conditions. You will reap the benefits of longer run times on one battery and a cooler running motor that can be pushed harder. SEND IT with a SIDEWINDER!

SEND IT WITH SIDEWINDER!

The SIDEWINDER 4 is a versatile ESC and is accepted in a wide variety of applications. Whether throwing dirt, ripping through a corner or steadily dominating the trails, we’ve got you covered!

CRYO-DRIVE TECHNOLOGY

CRYO-DRIVE TECHNOLOGY minimizes the amount of time the ESC's electrical components spend generating heat by optimally controlling which components are being used while driving the motor, which greatly reduces the rate at which the Sidewinder 4 heats up. CRYO-DRIVE takes thermal performance to a whole new level and allows users to push beyond the limits of previous generation Sidewinders by handling higher gear ratios in heavier vehicles with longer runs.


The 1415-2400kv is ideal for short course trucks running on 3s LiPo and weighing up to 6.5 lbs; it can be run on a 2s LiPo but will be very slow. It is a cooling running torque animal for lighter 1/10th scale 2WD stadium trucks and buggies running on a 3s LiPo.	The 1406-4600kv and 1406-5700kv motors are perfect for 2WD SCT on 2s LiPo and geared conservatively. They make a great combo for 1/10th scale 2WD Stadium trucks and buggies on 2s for general bashing and limited runs on 3s; temps will climb quickly on 3s.	The 1406-6900kv and 1406-7700kv motors are great upgrades for 1/10th scale on-road cars for 2s use. They can also be used in some lighter off-road 1/10th stadium trucks and buggies with conservative gearing.	The 1410-3800kv is perfect 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 cooling running torque animal for lighter 1/10th scale 2WD stadium trucks and buggies running up to a 3s LiPo.

PRODUCT USAGE TIPS

Although Sidewinder 4 is waterproof, it is not intended for operation while completely submerged in liquid. They can corrode when exposed to corrosive materials, such as salt water. Always rinse the ESC with clean water after exposure to corrosives or dirt. While the controller may be waterproof, we suggest users confirm that the rest of their vehicle, including the batteries, servos, radio and chassis are also waterproof before
Not all LiPos are created equal, and surge ratings should never be used to determine a pack’s suitability for a brushless application. Use the CONTINUOUS C rating only. Brushless setups frequently hit 100+ amps in peaks. We strongly suggest using 5,000 mAh or larger LiPo cells with a discharge rating of at least 30C (or high quality 25C batteries such as Traxxas Power Cells). Our experience suggests using only mild gear ratios with NiMH cells. Do not attempt to use NiMH cells in extreme setups.exposing them to liquids of any kind.
