You need to remember that the sidewinder esc can only support sensorless motors, so your limited with the motor you can run. Rather, I would suggest you pick up a Castles Mamba Max Pro esc. It will allow you to run both sensorless and sensored motors in your truck and will allow you a greater amount of adjustments. I know it costs a bit more, but its 100% worth the investment. It is a very popular esc on the mod SC10. Then, as far as the motors go, I would say go with a sensored motor, if you go with the MMP esc. Popular brands are LRP, Tekin, and Novak..., and my personal favorite, Thunder Power. As far as the turn goes though, it all depends on your track, but 10.5T is often a good starting place. Go to your local track and see what everyone is running, you will most likely see a common one. Hope this all helps, good luck with it!

+1 on that servo and the Mamba Max Pro, but if you do run that combo I would go ahead and get the external BEC from castle as well to prevent glitching.
I ran that setup on the SC104x4 first with the specktrum glitch buster, but eventually my MMP got to where it didn't want to fire up unless I had the internal BEC set to 5.0V instead of 6.0V. Tech at CC said it was the servo wearing out the BEC. Switched to the External and it was all good since.
So when I build a 2wd SC10 I did the external BEC off the bat and have had zero issues.
