You can use the 6900kv and 7700kv unlike the original Sidewinder; it can also run a 3s on the 5700kv where there original Sidewinder was limited to a 2s on the same motor.
The Sidewinder SCT system will run great on 3s in a touring car or any normal 1/10th vehicle (read non-short course)Just be sure to use the torque limit or stock up on extra tires. 
There will not be an upgrade from the Monster to the Mamba XL. We do not have upgrade paths available between scales. IE we don't allow any upgrades to the Mamba Monster because it's the only 1/8th scale.

Thanks Thomas I was iffy on pumping 3s through the sidewinder to the 3800 due to the lower cost I wasn't sure how well it would hold up but you removed my doubts... now to find a nice 3s pack that will fit in my rustler for a good price
