We'll never do another sensored ESC...that's old technology. We stopped making them years ago. The Sidewinder is an entry level brushless system. Max of 3s lipo on the 4600 or 2s on the 5700...we'll also have another motor kv in the future...3600kv.

Sensored doesn't cost me a Main run and $10 in parts:

At the tone, my car didn't move, the car a few back put on a ton of speed and laid a hurting on my car.
So Castle, still interested in racing? What you have now isn't for racing.

Ran the Orion 13.5 again tonight with my Mamba Max but this time with a lipo pack. It only hesitated one time tonight but it was at the start of the main but I can live with that as it don't do it if I take a warm up lap and hit full throttle at least once during the warm up lap. Other than that it worked perfect all night with TQ and the win and also went from the track record fast lap at 11.87 that I set last week to 11.54 I did this weekend. At this point I'm happy.

If you want to run 13.5 try the Orion as it is the best of the bunch when running it with the Mamba speedo. Not perfect but it works well.

adamge - dont be a softcock, grab a vortex 13.5, when orion say they can work with both sensored & sensorless escs, they really do mean it!
I know patience is nearly out with the arrival of the new software update, but when it comes itll be the ducks nuts, a breakthrough in sensorless technology!

i understand what adamage is saying. i too im lookin top change my BL setup. not stalling or any thing like that but for the fast that it sucks the crap out my batteries. i would love to run 5 cell with better drivablity feel to accel and bracking..........
now on the other hand......i love CC for the 'build tough' durablity for there esc and motor. im interrested in LRP but hearing about the service is making me think other wise. im in the Caribbean and cannot afford to deal with warrent stuff with LRP. a guy here had a problem with his esc not braking and sent it in and got a new esc from CC in a respectable time.
maybe ill go with the orion 3.5 instead.

The on/off switch on my Mamba Max broke today. Will it void the warranty if I replace it myself?

Hi guys i have manage to come up with another problem with my mamba system again first my ESC went got it repaired from castle mind you i live in barbados.
At club racing today placed my car on the start/finish line throttle it from the driver stand and the motor is getting on like i have a rock in the drive train take out the motor and it has a tight spot while turning the shaft like something inside rubbing or touching.
Anyone shared this experience.
