The sidewinder is very smooth. I will suggest to run a ccbec and remove the red wires from the sidewinder. The bec is a bit weal for a crawler servo, plus you want at least 6v going to the servo.

Do you think a 1000kV would be too fast? I suppose I could go down a tooth on the pinion... I have a CCBEC that I can use, but I was thinking that the combined force (lol) of both of the SW BECs would handle the servo(?).

I reeeaaallly want to run brushless!

I was going to make up some SS skid plates to cover the motor up. I'd probably do that even with brushed motors. I might get a couple of cheap brushed motors just to test with first.
