1/10 Sidewinder esc
 

Hi, I have a CC Sidewinder esc. I tried it with a Trinity 17.5 sensored ( ROAR legal) motor and starts were a cogging problem. I have discovered that Hobbywing has a 17.5 non sensored motor. I tried e-mailing Hobbywing and a mail order place in CA but so far have not gotten a response. Does anyone know if this motor will work with my Sidewinder? The part # is: 17.5T/SL-3650. Thanks, Don

yep it will work fine



i have had problems with older novak motors cogging badly at mid through max throtle and i never did figure out why

i dont see the point of sensored, it's just an extra wire for nothing really.
especially since castle's start-up algorithms are so advanced it hardly coggs at all!

yes that motor will work fine, just keep and eye on the temps as usual :wink:

Thanks-now if I can convince the wife------- Don

Other people do see the point of sensored.

Even Castle's great software cant reliably start a 13.5 turn motor in a pan car when each revolution of the motor moves the car 3 inches. That is why the Mamba Max Pro is working so good for the pan car racers - it has a sensor port and knows how to use it.

Much as I'd like to have a MMPro, a $45 motor is much more economically feasible. I already have a MM & Sidewinder. Don
