Overview 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 from 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 1412-3200 5mm sensored* motor. The 1412-3200kv 5mm is the perfect kv for users wishing to run 2s and 3s in vehicles weighing up to 6.5lbs. Popular vehicles include Arrma Big Rock 4x4, Granite 4x4, Senton 4x4, Vorteks 4x4; Traxxas Slash 2WD & 4x4, Rustler 2WD & 4x4; Losi Tenacity, Hammer Rey, Baja Rey; Axial Ryft, Bomber.
*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 or a Copperhead 10. **Not intended for operation while submerged in liquid. If unit is operated in wet conditions, rinse with fresh water to remove dirt or corrosives, then fully dry unit.
Castle's newest software technology, CRYO-DRIVE 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. This is happening thousands of times per second, which greatly reduces the rate at which the ESC heats up. This results in significantly improved thermal performance during partial throttle operation where the majority of driving occurs. Your setup will be able to handle higher gear ratios, in heavier vehicles, with longer runs.
For over 25 years Castle engineers have been setting the bar for industry leading software functionality. The Castle Link Programming Suite is your ticket to creating the perfect setup. To gain access to the host of tuning parameters download the BRAND NEW simple to install software from the Castle Creations website and you are ready to personalize your controller's settings. Requires Windows 10 or higher.
You can now WIRELESSLY PROGRAM settings with the free Castle-Link app available on the Apple App store or Google Play for Android devices and the Castle B-LinkT BluetoothT Adapter (sold separately). It is compact and lightweight installed in your vehicle, for anytime programming!
SIDEWINDER NANO is telemetry ready, which means owners of Futaba T4PX, 7PX and T7PXR Transmitters will be able to purchase the Castle Creations Telemetry Link for S.BUS2. Real-time data such as ESC temperature, voltages, and RPM can be monitored to ensure performance advantages and spare you the "unknown" parameters that all R/C enthusiasts experience at some point. Telemetry data provides another level of protection and can increase performance.
SIDEWINDER 4 features Audible Alerts that will notify you, via audible chimes, of possible issues with calibrations and error conditions to help diagnose problems.
ESC is housed in a durable injection molded case and potted in waterproof epoxy to protect the electronics and promote efficient heat transfer.
