Default M11 and Castle Sidewinder

Ok guys, I went yesterday and got an M11. Awesome radio! Just gotta question thats got me stumped, cannot find any info. on it. In the Airtronics manual is says not to power the receiver with anymore than 6.0 volts. 4.8v-6.0v. I`m wondering if the Sidewinder ESC drops the reciever power to what I`m needing? Anyone running this combo? Thanks alot!

I don't see that spec quoted either, but I think its because its standardized at 6v or less its just not mentioned. I run the combo Sidewinder/5700, but with TRX TQ2 electronics.

I ran the MM and the Sidewinder with my M11 2.4 system with no problems. You won't hurt the receiver.

Thanks guys. Next question. Anyone know if I can reverse the steering with the M11? The steering is backwards. I have the stock steering servo and I had to cut the little plastic edge off the connector to get it into the receiver. Could this possibly be backwards? (if so i`ll have to change the wiring) Thanks

You have to use your radio functions. You need to change the servo reversing thru the radio. Check out your radio directions for this feature. Look up servo reversing in the directions.

The Castle claims to put out 5 volts in the manual.
