not exactly the esc most of us are looking for put looks like it would be a good budget controller. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LNTJJ2&P=G

this is odd..

a brushless setup light.. Looks like an OEM thingy..

and it looks a heck of a lot like the MMM

It's even 60 bucks cheaper than the mamba-maxx

found this on rcgroups, from patrick at castle creations.

"The Sidewinder is a low-cost version of the Mamba controller.
No built-in USB, BUT it is still link compatible.
It is about 70% of a Mamba-Max as far as power handling.
Designed to be a low-cost alternative, the Sidewinder will be available as a combo with a 4600 or 5700 motor for $149.95. (retail)

Probably not, this is geared for newb's and more than likely it uses smaller caps

I take this to mean that the Castle Link for a Mamba 25 would work with this. If so, that's still pretty cool to be able to program it with the PC.

Do any of the Castle ESCs take less than 3s input? Going by the past record, it will probably do 3s with slower motors.
