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 1406-4600Kv sensored* motor. The 1406-4600kv motor is a great motor for 2WD short course trucks on 2s LiPo and geared conservatively. It makes a great combo for 1/10th 2WD Stadium trucks and buggies on 2s for general bashing and limited runs on 3s; temperatures will climb quickly on 3s. It makes a great upgrade for 1/10th scale on-road cars for 2s and 3s use. NOT for use in 4WD short course trucks.

Product Use Statement:


*Although Sidewinder 4 is waterproof, it is not intended for operation while completely submerged in liquid. They can corrode when exposed to corrosive materials, such as salt water. Always rinse the ESC with clean water after exposure to corrosives or dirt. While the controller may be waterproof, we suggest users confirm that the rest of their vehicle, including the batteries, servos, radio and chassis are also waterproof before exposing them to liquids of any kind.

Tech Tips:

Application Guidelines: For 2WD short course trucks on 2s LiPo and geared conservatively. 1/10th 2WD Stadium trucks and buggies on 2s for bashing and limited runs on 3s with conservative gearing. Great for 1/10th scale on-road cars for 2s and 3s use. NOT for use in 4WD short course trucks.

Not all LiPos are created equal, and surge ratings should never be used to determine a pack’s suitability for a brushless application. Use the CONTINUOUS C rating only. Brushless setups frequently hit 100+ amps in peaks. We strongly suggest using 5,000 mAh or larger LiPo cells with a discharge rating of at least 30C (or high quality 25C batteries such as Traxxas® Power Cells®). Our experience suggests using only mild gear ratios with NiMH cells. Do not attempt to use NiMH cells in extreme setups.

For 2WD short course trucks on 2s LiPo and geared conservatively.
1/10th 2WD Stadium trucks and buggies on 2s for bashing and limited runs on 3s with conservative gearing. Great for 1/10th scale on-road cars for 2s and 3s use. NOT for use in 4WD short course trucks.
Tech Tips:

Monitor motor temperatures closely; overheating a motor will cause permanent damage to the magnets. Never exceed 180° F on the the motor or ESC.

Water Resistant Design: Routine maintenance is recommended after running in wet conditions. Please refer to instructions for running and maintaining motors in wet environments.

    Additional Features:

    CRYO-DRIVE™: 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.
    Castle Link:

    The Castle Link Programming Suite is your ticket to creating the perfect setup. To gain access to the host of tuning parameters, simply purchase a Castle Link USB Programmer and download the simple to install software from our website and you are ready to personalize your controller's settings. 
    Castle B-Link: 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-Link™ Bluetooth™ Adapter (sold separately). It is compact and lightweight installed in your vehicle, for anytime programming!
    Power System Alerts: SIDEWINDER 4 features Audible Alerts that will notify you via audible chimes of possible issues with calibrations and error conditions to help diagnose problems.
    Telemetry Ready: SIDEWINDER 4 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.
    Waterproof: ESC is housed in a durable injection molded case and potted in waterproof epoxy to protect the electronics and promote efficient heat transfer.
