Default Castle Sidewinder SCT in a T4.1

Has anybody used this motor in a truck other than a SC? I was thinking about putting in my t4.1. I am looking for reviews on what you guys think of it. Even if you have put it in your SCT please reply.

Had a local guy put one in his blitz this week. Several guys drove it and they thought it was very nice, smooth, etc.

its going to be alot of power for the light stadium truck..
i ran it in a b44.1 4wd buggy and a sc10, i'm still trying to tame down the power to bring the power to the ground..

i'd say if your running it on a high traction surface you will be fine, low traction surfaces its harder to harness the power.. i find myself very lite on the throttle with it in the sc10..

for the price its nice, run it on 7.4v 2S lipo's and theres no clogging.. anything less like 6 cell nimh you will notice a cloggy lowend..

I've got the 3800kv 4pole in my hyper 10sc and would highly recommend this motor to you. I'm running it on a MMP. The motor pulls really hard on 2s I can do triples and quads no problem with a couple feet run. This is way to much motor for 2wd in my opinion. For the money it's amazing!!! If your the dude from 4seasons I was talking to, I cleared 5 out of the 6 pack with this motor on 2s, the B44 is lighter than my ofna, it should be a animal in the B44!

it was in a b44.1 which is a 4wd 1/10 buggy.. with the 4wd it was a great system..

it will rocket a 2wd b4, if you want on-tap raw power you'll be happy.. if your racing it, it will be fine... but you would want to use the punch/torque control and a light throttle finger to keep consistant laps

the SCT SYSTEM will work fine in your T4 its all about the proper gearing..motor timing....throttle punch..etc....I run a 5.5 in my SC10 with no problems...
