they are the same as sidewinder 2's, though they might now be sidewinder 3's.

If I remember right from when I had a sidewinder…

You turn the esc on, radio off. Then you go and turn on the radio, but while turning it on, you hold full throttle. Hold until it beeps or flashes(or whatever it does, maybe even a combo of the two), then go to full reverse. The beep/flash thing should happen, then release the trigger to neutral. it should beep/flash again, and then both endpoints, and throttle midpoint should be set.

You can get the castle link to program the esc. ( You could even buy the castle link on the hpi website, but I don't know if you can anymore)
