Product Information
Send it with Sidewinder!
While the all-new SIDEWINDER 4™ builds upon Castle’s most popular platform, the SIDEWINDER 1:10 scale series, it is the first of its kind to run Castle’s newest technology, Cryo-Drive™. Cryo-Drive™ combines technology with cutting-edge hardware and software advancements to increase thermal performance. Cooler temps mean longer runs and more power in your SIDEWINDER 4 setup.
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!
This combo includes a Sidewinder 4 ESC and 1415-2400Kv sensored* motor. 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.
*Sensored capabilities of the motor cannot be utilized with the Sidewinder 4. If you require sensored operation you will need a sensored ESC like the Mamba X.
