About this part

This Castle Sidewinder SCT Waterproof Combo includes the Sensored 1410 3800Kv Motor and is a great choice for 1/10 scale short course trucks up to 6.5 pounds on 2S, as well as 1/10 buggies and trucks up to 4 pounds on 2 or 3S.

The Sidewinder SCT is Castle’s solution for anyone who needs an unbeatable combination of power and affordability in a special edition controller and motor combo made for Short Course Truck racing. While the sensored capabilities of the motor cannot be utilized with the Sidewinder SCT, users will benefit as the sensored motor is rebuildable, and this design even allows modelers to replace damaged motor wires. The Sidewinder SCT Combo will give you great response and performance right of the box!

The ESC (electronic speed control) offers power to spare at 2-3S LiPo, and a waterproof case that can perform in just about any environment.

NOTE:

  • Not intended for operation while submerged in liquid. If unit is operated in wet conditions, rinse with fresh water to remove dirt or corrosives, then fully dry unit.Although Sidewinder SCT and Castle brushless motors are waterproof, they are not intended for operation while completely submerged in liquid. They can corrode when exposed to corrosive materials, such as salt water. Always rinse the ESC and motor with clean water after exposure to corrosives or dirt. While the motor and controller may be waterproof, we suggest users confirm that the rest of their vehicle, including the batteries, servos, radio and chassis are also waterproof before exposing them to liquids of any kind.
  • The cooling fan must be removed prior to driving in wet conditions. It is not waterproof.
  • Sensored capabilities of the motor cannot be utilized with the Sidewinder SCT. If you require sensored operation you will need a sensored ESC like the Mamba X. The Mamba X paired with the same motor can be found here.

David Cuycoon Castle Creations Sidewinder SCT Waterproof Combo w/Sensored 1410 Motor (3800Kv)

I bought this to breathe new life into my old RC10T from the 80s for my daughter to drive. Power and speed is great. The only thing I didn't like was that after using it for about a day while we were camping the switch went out. Basically the ESC would no longer turn on. What I ended up doing was to cut the switch out and permanently solder the wires together. Overall I'm happy with the performance of the ESC motor combo but I wish Castle would use a better quality switch.

What reviewers say

Reviewers generally rate this Castle Creations Sidewinder SCT combo (3800Kv) highly, praising its power, speed, price and waterproofing, with several noting it upgraded older stock brushed setups in Slash 4x4 and other vehicles. Some reviewers report it runs well on 2S and 3S LiPo packs. Recurring complaints concern the on/off switch, which one reviewer said failed after a day and was bypassed, and a shaft-length and alignment issue with the motor that made pinion fitting difficult. One reviewer reported a destroyed spur gear linked to excessive shaft play. Several reviewers praised Castle's customer service for warranty repairs. Reviews are mixed on build reliability, with most praising performance.

  • + Strong power and speed
  • + Waterproof and cool running
  • + Responsive Castle customer service
  • + Good value for upgrade
  • − Switch failure reported
  • − Motor shaft shorter than stock
  • − Excess shaft play in one unit
  • − Sensored motor paired with sensorless ESC
