Can a Sidewinder SCT ESC power a brushed motor?

I know a lot of the local crawler guys swear by the Sidewinder ESC, off memory I think we worked on a 13t limit on the original Sidewinder. Not sure if that's right though.

Castle said the original sidewinder had a 19T limit in brushed reversing mode. I hope the new one is much lower.

Speaking of glitches.

Be very careful not to connect a brushed motor to an ESC that is set for brushless mode or a brushless motor to an ESC that have been switched to brushed mode.

I fried a MM that way.

The original LRP Sphere went to Brushed mode as soon as the Sensor Wire was disconnected (or fell out). Fried a 5.5 Brushless mid race that way.
