What is amp rating on original 1/10 CC Sidewinder Sport ESC?

I have an original 1/10 Castle Creations Sidewinder Sport ESC, and want to pair it with a sensorless Tacon 3650 brushless motor rated at about 60A or 75A (not sure). However, Castle does not put an amp rating on their Sidewinder ESC, so I don't know if it will provide adequate power to the motor.

Anyone know?

I'm fairly sure it's got a 75 amp rating. Might be 70 or 80, but I'm pretty sure it's 75. I own both the original and the newer SCT version. In a conversation I had with the CC tech staff, that's what I think they said.
