I am very happy with the sidewinder so far. I see no reason to use any other esc for 10th scale 2wd. I guess you would need something with more current capability if you are trying to do high speed runs, but for general use it works very well. I have a xxx-cr that I want to try a novak 3.5 on 2s lipo, and will use the sidewinder. Maybe it will have better luck in the lighter buggy with lower gearing.

I had a vxl rustler, and it ran hot. I had the stock gearing and a mamamps 3s 4000 lipo in it. The lipo was cool after the run, but the motor was very hot, and the esc was hot too. I was just not very impressed by it, compared to my feigao/mm combo. It did not seem as effecient as the runtime was quite a bit less. Plus the lack of programability was the main factor that I did not keep it. The mm is a superior esc, just would be nice if cc put a better motor with the combo.

Cool testing linc! This is great information.

Thanks, I try! Pity that aveox has quit selling rc motors. I picked all of my aveox motors up from their ebay sales, I must have 10 motors and they are all very well built. Plus I paid about 60-65 bucks each, so they were great deals. They seem to be comparable with the hacker c50, neu and lehner motors, and work very well in everything that I have tried them in. I have a 1300kv version of the next can length up, and plan to use it in a rustler on 9s. Should be interesting, to say the least
