Castle Creations Sidewinder 3 ESC + 1406-5700KV Sensored Brushless Motor

Overview

The Castle Creations Sidewinder 3 Waterproof 1/10 Combo combines a waterproof Sidewinder 3 sensorless brushless ESC with a 1406-5700KV sensored brushless motor. The combination supports 2S–3S LiPo and is particularly suitable for 1/10 2WD short-course trucks on 2S, 2WD stadium trucks, buggies, and on-road cars. Although the included motor is sensored, the sensored functionality cannot be used with the Sidewinder 3 ESC. The motor is rebuildable, and the motor wires can be replaced. Castle does not recommend the combination for 4WD short-course trucks.
