The SIDEWINDER 8 SPORT ESC is proudly DESIGNED, ASSEMBLED AND SUPPORTED IN OLATHE, KS. USA.

The SIDEWINDER 8 SPORT ESC has been a power upgrade for 1:10TH SCALE MONSTER TRUCKS AND 1:8TH SCALE BUGGIES, TRUGGIES AND ON-ROAD VEHICLES since 2014. It’s perfect for entry level, weekend basher, or serious road warriors seeking the benefits of an affordable brushless upgrade.

Fully programmable Castle feature set using Castle Link USB adapter (sold separately) and freely downloadable Castle Link Windows software or the Castle Link mobile app and a B-Link Bluetooth Adapter (sold separately).

30A ESC BEC output: linear mode: 5V, 2A,Number of battery sections: 2-4S LiPo.

SG90 Servo, 4.8V-6V, 0.12 sec / 60 deg (4.8 V).

A2212 1400kv Brushless Outrunner Motor with connector, fit for Battery 2-3 Li-Poly.

Motor size:550, 3.175mm output shaft,Input voltage: 6-8.4V (Lipo&Nimh), not compatible with 3S lipo battery

Virtually maintenance-free operation and long-lasting performance.Precision balanced rotor, smoothness for best reliability and maximum 22500 RPM

Integrated cooling fan pulls cool air through the motor to keep temperatures down.Heat-resistance running motors allow faster speeds, longer runtime, and extending motor life

New Sensored design allows for smoother starts and better low end throttle control while Retaining high Torque and power of our previous motors

Dimensions - can: 36mm diameter, 69.5mm length; shaft: 1/8” (3.17mm) diameter, 15.5mm length.

Max voltage: 4S LiPo (14.8V)

High-strength, high-temperature grade neodymium sintered magnets combined with a high-strength Kevlar wrap ensures the integrity of the rotor is not compromised during harsh running conditions.

Our proprietary winding techniques allow us to produce a stator assembly that is the lowest possible resistance, resulting in a cooler running motor resulting in a longer lifetime.

Oversized NMB bearings and vibration dampening system ensure the longest bearing life possible.

4-POLE 12-SLOT design boasts exceptional EFFICIENCY and produces LESS HEAT

Oversized gold plated solder tabs for LESS RESISTANCE and easy soldering

QUIETSENSE Technology shields magnetic field noise generated from the motor coils and keeps motor and ESC in sync at all times

Brushless power from the leader in aftermarket upgrades, the Sidewinder 4 builds upon Castle's most popular platform, the SIDEWINDER 1:10 SCALE SERIES.

The Sidewinder line of ESCs are our Sport-Class Surface Speed Controllers.  They're designed to withstand the most abusive environments while keeping your ride moving fast and cool.  They are sensorless and have loads of Castle Power!

CRYO-DRIVE TECHNOLOGY combines cutting-edge hardware and software advancements to significantly increase thermal performance by reducing the amount of time the ESC’s electrical components spend generating heat. Your setup will be able to handle higher gear ratios, in heavier vehicles, with longer runs.

New sensored design allows for smoother starts and better low end throttle control while Retaining high Torque and power of our previous motors

This 1007-8450KV SENSORED motor is ideal for 1/16th and 1/14th scale vehicles running up to 2s LiPo and weighing up to 2.75 lbs.

WATER RESISTANT DESIGN. Castle sensored motors include a water-resistant sensor board design that is coated with silicone conformal coating to protect the sensors from moisture. The sensor connections are not water resistant; water can cause signal loss which could result in loss of sensored capabilities. We recommend applying dielectric grease to the outside of the sensor wire connections after installation of the wire. Routine maintenance is recommended after running in wet conditions.
