Castle gonna get a lot of returns because of this truck, The truck with battery is gonna weight 6lbs and with the 4600kv motor it's to much.
As Rootar stated, It's a rebadged LS10 and it's a heavy lil' truck.


I retired from RC, now life is all about guns and long range shooting.

I agree. The Sidewinder has a tall order.

If it has bigger bearings than the ls10 it could be useful to me for upgrade parts. The tiny bearings in the ls10 suck

anyone else notice that these aren't on hpi's american website? maybe they trashed the idea due to the esc and motor.


They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.

Nice looking truck, lots of little things that are nice, and lots of things that still need some design thought. If designed for 2s they could of done a bit of weight loss, gutting the extra unneeded shocks and simplifying the front and rear bulkheads. That and I really don't like the idea of three or more clips to remove a battery. Oh, and why does the MT have the ST tires and vice a verse?

a mate of mine has this already.. he has tested it and given a reveiw... he says its great in every way... takes real abuse, can handle very well, BUT its motor lets it down.
these could really take off... he believes that hpi should charge a little more and supply a better motor esc combo
