The sidewinder on 3s is doable as long as you gear down low enough to take some of the load off the motor (and will reduce current). Basically getting power via rpms instead of torque. But, I would opt for a 4600, or better yet, a Medusa 36-50-3300 motor on 3s. If you want to go 4s, the MM and Medusa 36-50-2200 make a nice combo, just need an external BEC. Actually, I'd run an external BEC on 3s too.
