Castle sidewinder setups any good for racing?
#4
I have a sidewinder in an sc10 and it is great. I bought it in a combo with the 4600 motor. Even with the punch on the lowest setting it too much for motor for me. I am running a Reedy 3300 with it right now and it is about right. I have heard people complain that the Reedy motor is not that great...but when hooked to a Sidewinder...it is a great setup.

all I race is sidewinders, I have a 5700kv in my sc10(which I coincidentally took 2'nd place in my local tracks end of season race), and a 4600kv in my b4.1. and castle stands behind their stuff, I had one esc come apart and something broke off the circuit board, sent it back to them, and they sent me a brand new one. then had another one have the negative battery wire break, sent it back to them and got another brand new one, I love castle creations!!!

4600 is more like a weak 8.5, its a great unit for price. i got beat by 1 2wks ago.

Its like anything else as you just need to mess with the setup some to you get the feel you want. If you are planning on using the Castle Link to adjust it then you really can dial them in to get the feel your looking for.
