I will say that I had a Sidewinder in my crawler running 3S and a 55t integy and I had to use a cbec because it (bec) thermalled when I twitched the servo back and forth fast. I never had a problem in my b44 or j82, so thought it odd. at first I thought I had a bad servo, I plugged another in and tried unloaded and no problem. got all hooked up, glitched again. I tried a different rx, same deal. man I was getting choked so I grabbed the bec out of my rc8 and there it was. I was running 2s at first but the 55 was way to slow.
I've since traded the sw and bec for an original novak crawler system. on 2s it has plenty of wheel speed and I can mount the little 2s on the front axle. the 3s had to sit on a plate sitting on the top links.

I'd be interested to know if it will survive 4s. I kind of think that is pushing it unless it has a low enough kv motor.
