Castle Creations Sidewinder Review

[lincpimp]

Thanks, I have a sidewinder comming to my door for 67 bucks, including shipping!

Also, looking at the sidewinders manual it has a 12v lipo cutoff. I guess that it will run 4s, with the bec disabled. Most likely good for lighter vehicles, like a crt.5 with a lower kv motor. Killer deal, pair this with a feigao 12s and it would be a killer combo for less than 120 bucks. Maybe a 2100 4s lipo? sounds like a good light weight setup to me. 600 watts is pretty good fro the price.

Do you think this would be a good set up for a Rustler?

That would be fantastic in a Rustler.

You will need a all metal tranny in that rustler. I can safely say that a rustler setup like that would be badass!

Check this out:

Differential Ratio: 1
Transmission Ratio: 2.727272727272727
Spur Tooth Count: 54
Pinion Tooth Count: 18
Total Voltage: 14.8
Motor KV: 2958
Tire Diameter (inches): 3.8
Spur/Pinion Ratio: 3 : 1
Total Ratio: 8.18182 : 1
Tire Circumference (inches): 11.94 inches (303.23mm)
Total Motor Speed: 43778.4 RPM
Vehicle Speed: 60.49 MPH

It would be nice to find a 2500 kv motor, in a s can, maybe a lehner basic 2400?

Ya, that may be a little to much

What Feigao motor would you use with the Sidewinder in a Rusty on 2 cell Lipo or 8 cell NIMH?

Most likely a 7s, but this motor can draw some serious juice, so I would suggest it for lipo only (5000mah or higher). If you are stuck with nimh go with the 5700 mamba motor.
