Stopped working mid crawl in less than a month.
Seems like a great esc, it was easy to set up & in general I was very happy. I was using it on my scx10 ii with a holmeshobby revolver 1800kv v2. My friend has a trx4 with this exact setup and his crawler is significantly heavier than my car . zero issues with probably 3 months on his esc. Mine stopped mid run, no warning that I am familiar with or noticed. I run a 3cell 1800 mah battery xt60 connector and am baffled as to what happened. I can here a faint tone or light buzz but nothing powers up or lights up , when attempting to turn this thing on. I’m assuming it’s under warranty but am still not happy that this happened.

A step up from Sidewinder 3
I have a Traxxas Slash 4x4 and love Castle ESCs because of the easy to use Field programming card. I didn't want or really need to go full Mamba so this seemed like a good update of the proven Sidewinder SCT/3. I don't think the hardware is that different from the 3, just a bigger fan and case, but its performance is a noticeable improvement. After updating my Field card online, I used my same tuning setup as I did on my old SW3. Now the drag brake feels stronger, throttle response is smoother and stronger, and my laps are faster.

Both brush and brushless so WOW
What I liked about it is the fact that it's easy install

Great esc
Awesome esc, ran in a trx4 with an outrunner Holmes revolver on it. Perfect match, lots of adjustability. Not water resistant, daughter drove thru a couple inch deep puddle at speed and it was enough to fry the esc. Don’t let that defer you from grabbing one. Very good product.

great on 7700kv brushless motor 2S battery
lots of wheelies on my old Wheely king... just like with the deseased mamba max pro i used with it... i was able to download the motor parameters with the app from my dead mamba max and upload it directly to the sidewinder... flawless torque control and no need to redo the damaging motor test.
