Finally got to poke around with one in person. The ESC seems to be a carbon copy of the original sidewinder. Motor very well could be identical with just a different Kv rating slapped on it. Only obvious difference is the can is black now. Castle Link works just fine with them.

The Element can support 3s.
The Element cost 10 bucks more.
The Element does not have fan; compare with sidewidner SCT combo.
Warranty: Element has 120 days; Mamba??

Looking at the specs of the motor I don't know. The Castle version is a good bit heavier which I'm wondering what the difference is. The ESC is identical though.

The ones on ebay must be old stock... The cost on them now is more than that since they raised the price.

Calibrate it to your radio using the same procedure as the Castle Sidewinder.
