Although Sidewinder 4 is waterproof, it is not intended for operation while completely submerged in liquid. They can corrode when exposed to corrosive materials, such as salt water. Always rinse the ESC with clean water after exposure to corrosives or dirt. While the controller may be waterproof, we suggest users confirm that the rest of their vehicle, including the batteries, servos, radio and chassis are also waterproof before exposing them to liquids of any kind. With brushed you can use 19T brushed with reverse, 12T with forward only, and with brushless the limit is the equivalent kv, motor size, and voltage as the Castle combos.
Yes! Although the Sidewinder 4 ESC and Castle brushless motors are waterproof, they are not intended for operation while completely submerged in liquid. They are designed to handle normal wet conditions like driving through puddles, wet grass and snow; they are not designed to be submerged like a submarine. The ESC can corrode when exposed to corrosive materials, such as salt water. Always rinse the ESC and motor with clean water after exposure to corrosives or dirt. While the motor and controller may be waterproof, we suggest users confirm that the rest of their vehicle, including the batteries, servos, radio and chassis are also waterproof before exposing them to liquids of any kind.A Sidewinder 4 does not have the current handling capability that is required for drag racing. We HIGHLYrecommend you use a Mamba X ESC for any motor 5T and higher (5.5T, 6.5T, etc), and a Monster X for anything lower than a 5T (4.5T, 3.5T, etc). There is no polarity with a sensorless brushless motor. This means the color coding does not matter at all. Simply plug the wires into the speed controller. If it runs the motor the wrong direction simply swap any two wires between the motor and ESC or plug the ESC into your Castle Link and reverse the rotation of the motor using the software.
Product Use Statements: Although Sidewinder 4 is waterproof, it is not intended for operation while completely submerged in liquid. They can corrode when exposed to corrosive materials, such as salt water. Always rinse the ESC with clean water after exposure to corrosives or dirt. While the controller may be waterproof, Castle recommends users confirm that the rest of their vehicle, including the batteries, servos, radio and chassis are also waterproof before exposing them to liquids of any kind.While the all new SIDEWINDER 4 builds upon Castle's most popular platform, the SIDEWINDER 1:10 SCALE SERIES, it is the first of its kind to run Castle's newest technology, CRYO-DRIVE. CRYO-DRIVE combines technology from cutting-edge hardware and software advancements to increase thermal performance. COOLER TEMPS mean LONGER RUNS and MORE POWER in your SIDEWINDER 4 setup. Features
