Castle Creations Sidewinder 4 ESC & 1406 7700KV Brushless Motor Upgrade for 1/10 On Road RC Vehicles

The SIDEWINDER 4 ON ROAD EDITION COMBO features a SIDEWINDER 4 Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) equipped with innovative CRYO-DRIVE Technology, alongside a powerful 1406-7700Kv brushless motor. This combination is particularly well-suited for 1/10th scale on-road vehicles operating on 2s batteries. Additionally, it can be utilized in select lighter off-road 1/10th stadium trucks and buggies, provided they employ conservative gearing. However, it should be noted that this combo is not compatible with 2WD or 4WD short course trucks. The maximum vehicle weight recommended for optimal performance with this setup is 5 pounds, including the battery when ready to run.

Our motor features a robust 4-pole, 12-slot design that maximizes efficiency. Coupled with oversized NMB bearings and a vibration dampening system, this ensures the longest possible lifespan for the bearings. Notably, the high-strength neodymium sintered magnets, alongside a Kevlar wrap, maintain the rotor's structural integrity even under demanding racing conditions. With this setup, users will experience longer run times on a single battery charge, while benefiting from a cooler-running motor that can endure more strenuous usage.

Embrace the power of the SIDEWINDER! As a hallmark of aftermarket upgrades, the Sidewinder 4 expands on Castle's most sought-after platform, part of the SIDEWINDER 1:10 SCALE SERIES. This line of ESCs is classified as Sport-Class Surface Speed Controllers, designed to endure the most punishing environments, all while ensuring rapid and sustained performance.

One of the standout features of CRYO-DRIVE TECHNOLOGY is its ability to merge advanced hardware and software solutions, significantly enhancing thermal performance. This is achieved by minimizing the duration that the ESC’s electrical components generate heat. As a result, your setup can accommodate higher gear ratios and heavier vehicles while delivering longer run times.

The benefits of cooler operating temperatures include extended run times and increased power output in your SIDEWINDER 4 configuration. Users can fully program the ESC with the help of a Castle Link USB adapter (sold separately), along with the freely available Castle Link Windows software or the Castle Link App compatible with Android and iOS devices. For Bluetooth connectivity, a B-LINK Bluetooth Adapter (sold separately) is also available.

In summary, the SIDEWINDER 4 ON ROAD EDITION COMBO presents an exceptional proposition for enthusiasts seeking performance and reliability in their RC vehicles. Its unique combination of features, including advanced thermal management, robust construction, and adaptability across various vehicle types, positions it as an excellent choice for any serious hobbyist. Whether you're racing on-road or exploring light off-road terrain, this combo has the power to enhance your experience and keep your vehicle running smoothly and efficiently.
