Castle Creations Sidewinder 4 ESC & 1406 4600KV Motor Upgrade for 1/10 RC Basher Vehicles

The SIDEWINDER 4 BASHER EDITION COMBO features a SIDEWINDER 4 ESC with advanced CRYO-DRIVE Technology, paired with a 1406-4600Kv brushless motor. This combination is specifically designed for 2WD short course trucks operating on 2s LiPo batteries and can be conservatively geared. It excels as a comprehensive solution for 1/10th scale 2WD Stadium trucks and buggies on 2s, making it ideal for everyday bashing, although it can also handle limited runs on 3s—albeit with rising temperatures to keep in mind.

Additionally, this combo serves as a significant performance upgrade for 1/10th scale on-road cars, compatible for both 2s and 3s applications. The maximum weight recommended for this setup, including the battery and when ready to run, should not exceed 5 pounds.

Our motor features a 4-pole, 12-slot design that provides remarkable efficiency. It’s equipped with oversized NMB bearings and a vibration dampening system that enhances bearing longevity. The use of high-temperature, high-strength neodymium sintered magnets, in conjunction with a robust Kevlar wrap, helps ensure the rotor maintains its integrity even under strenuous operating conditions. With this setup, users can enjoy longer run times on a single battery and a cooler-running motor that can be pushed harder without fear of overheating. With the SIDEWINDER 4, you’re ready to SEND IT!

As part of Castle’s most popular lineup, the Sidewinder 4 builds upon the legacy of aftermarket upgrades, offering brushless power that is top-tier. The ESCs in the Sidewinder series are classified as Sport-Class Surface Speed Controllers, meticulously engineered to endure even the most demanding environments while keeping your vehicle fast and cool. Designed as sensorless controllers, these ESCs harness the full capabilities of Castle Power.

CRYO-DRIVE TECHNOLOGY is a hallmark of this system, merging state-of-the-art hardware with innovative software enhancements to drastically improve thermal performance. This technology minimizes the time the ESC’s electrical components spend generating heat, thereby enabling your system to manage higher gear ratios, tackle heavier vehicles, and achieve longer run times.

Reduced operating temperatures lead to extended run times and increased power capabilities within your SIDEWINDER 4 configuration.

Completely customizable, this ESC can be fully programmed via a Castle Link USB adapter (sold separately) and can be paired with the freely downloadable Castle Link Windows software. Alternatively, you can utilize the Castle Link App on Android or iOS devices, along with a B-LINK Bluetooth Adapter (sold separately) for seamless programming and setup adjustments.

In summary, the SIDEWINDER 4 BASHER EDITION COMBO is the ultimate solution for enthusiasts looking to elevate their RC experience—combining efficiency, versatility, and cutting-edge technology into one outstanding package.
