I run the SCT combo in my Hyper 10TT which is nearly identical to the STe and its a beast. I can run battery after battery back to back with no temp issues. Im running the stock spur and a 13t pinion but will probably go up to 15t. Since the STe uses smaller diamater tires I might start at 15t or 16t and go from there. The SCT combo is incredible, and the price only makes it that much better. I have ran regular Sidewinder ESC's in all my other 4x4 short course applications and have never had any issues with Temps or anything else.... its a very overlooked ESC. The SCT Sidewinder has even better specs than the original Sidewinder... so it is definitely up to the challenge of these 1/10th scale 4x4s on 2s.
