Sidewinder Micro ESC

Hello , I have a mini REVO and I was wondering how many amps the Sidewinder micro can handle as I want too put it in my truck . Some other people have tested the stock VXL system and they were getting peaks of over 50 amps .

The Sidewinder micro can handle about 30A continuous, and peaks of about 50-60A.

Hmm, looks like I will have too give it a shot then !

i will no afraid to put this little beast in the mini revo just gear it suitably

Bashem, what battery chemistry and voltage were those peaks recorded at? Using equivalent voltage quality lipos will probably cause current to peak a bit higher since there will be a little less voltage drop than NiMHs.

Personally I'd use a regular S/W...

I'm about to do just that. My Sidewinder should be here tomorrow or Monday. It shouldn't even break a sweat on the 380 motor in there...until I bypass the internal BEC and run it on 4S for a few speed runs.

The Mamba Max is compact enough to fit nicely. I imagine the MM would be enough to push the mini to 100 or so The Micro Pro or 1/10th SideWinder would be great alternatives to the stock ESC IMO.

Well I had the Sidewinder micro sitting around and I wanted to see if it could handle 3s in the mini REVO with the stock gearing , I did run it and it was better than the stocker BUT it did hit the thermal cutoff on 3s so I might have to look elsewhere ....

1/10 SW is good

Kinda big though , I am thinking maybe a Mamba Pro when they are released , that pic that shows it next too a quarter is sweet , nice and small and will take the power ...

That was only the control board -- the full Mamba Pro ESC is about the same size as the Mamba Max.

Oh , bummer , still small but if you could fit it all onto that one board that would be freaky !

I currently have a Mamba Max in my 1/16 E-Revo with a 1112 Neu.

Have yet to run it, need to do a few more things. I'll get pictures up when it is done though.
