Sidewinder SC

[slimthelineman]

My guess is the 1410 on 3s might pull too much current on the sc controller. Just a guess
sounds interesting though as I have not tried 3s on the 4600 yet. I'm sure the mmpro can handle it but I didn't even think about switching speed.

I understand the 1410 on 3S might be beyond what the Sidewinder SC can handle - that's why I asked abouit using with MMP or Monster. I didn't think about switching speed until later, by which time Ferret had already posted his reply. The 1410 4 pole on 3S would need a switching speed equivalent to that required by an 11,400KV 2 pole motor on 2S. That's up to 96K RPM on the 2 pole motor with 2S.

We don't recommend 3s because if we did, everyone with a 4wd SC truck would immediately try it... And that motor isn't appropriate for 3s in a 4wd SCT truck.

Both the motor and controller are 3s capable, in the right application... But not in a 4wd SCT truck.

So yes 3s is ok... in something like a rustler... I will.

Yeah, can I put this in a rustler or 2wd slash on 3s?

Not really intended for 3s on the 2wd slash. ESC temps will get a little high along with motor temps. You would be very limited on gearing and may have to keep the run times under 5 minutes. The safest setup for a 3s on a 2wd Slash would be the soon to be released 1415/1Y 2400kv motor. With the extra length it will produce significantly more torque, handle higher wattage and increase efficiency. Much much lower motor temps and a lot more gearing options. You would need to run the Mamba Max or Mamba Max Pro.

I Realize you work for CC but I still think the motor will handle the 3s in a rustler or 2wd slash just fine. Considering the weak 2 pole VXL motor pushes my Full Aluminum Rustler with masher 2k's. Maybe the Speedo will run a bit warm but I dont see the motor needing cool down every 5 minutes
