Description
Sidewinder SCT is Castle's solution for anyone who needs an unbeatable combination of power and affordability in a special edition controller and motor combo made for Short Course Truck racing. This combo now comes with our improved 4-pole, 12-slot censored motor that boasts exceptional efficiency. While the censored capabilities of the motor cannot be utilized with the Sidewinder SCT ESC (motor will operate in sensor less mode), users will benefit as the censored motor is rebuild able (parts available soon), and this design even allows modelers to replace damaged motor wires. Sidewinder SCT is ready to run out of the box and is programmable via your transmitter. There are also many more programmable features that may be accessed using your Windows PC and a Castle Link USB adapter (sold separately) or a Field Link card (sold separately). Drivers can tune their favorite settings such as brake and throttle curves, throttle response, drag brake and many other parameters as well as download new firmware updates and feature upgrades as they become available. This combo includes a waterproof (not intended for operation while completely submerged in liquid) Sidewinder SCT ESC and a larger, more durable 5mm motor shaft 1410-3800Kv censored motor and a Castle Motor Cooling Fan. The 1410-3800Kv motor is intended for short course trucks running on 2s Lip and weighing up to 6.5 lbs. It is also a great system and a torque animal for lighter 1/10th scale 2WD stadium trucks and buggies running up to a 3s Lip. The Sidewinder SCT Combo will give you exceptional response and performance right of the box and offers power to spare at 2-3S Lip. If you're looking for a fully programmable ESC and motor combination that can leave other short course truck drivers in the dust, the Castle Sidewinder SCT Combo will get you to the finish line first.8.
