| I run a CC SWv2 SCT 3800kv in mine. Plenty of torque with a 15t pinion and tons of top speed. Temps are @ 137* or lower after a full pack |

| 2S 5000mah 35c. 3s is too much. I ran 3s once and it is uncontrolable. Battery just sits now. I will probably list it soon |

That motor is to much for the sidewinder to handle | |

| I have 2 trucks running a castle 1410 with Momba ESC 15 t pinion on 3s tamed down ,was puffing out 2s ,our track is long and fast ,cool off motor after each battery with an air matress fam , their not blistering hot though, 2nd truck Novak 550 6 turn on a 120 amp hobby king ESC burned up castle so trying this ,works great ,have to really back it down ,and both trucks will lift the front end while already moving , diffs need a lot of attention when putting down that much power but I have 9 trucks and these are my favorites and fastest even over the 1/8 ,just don't pull the trigger unless your ready |

| Tekin RX8 and a Tekin Pro4 4600... Its a handful and I have turned it way down. I also have a Tekin 550 in 4.5.. Much easier to drive with the power band on that motor. I run mostly indoor, and honestly, the Pro4 4000 is probably the best option...My truck is very light and I have run a Tekin Red Line 6.5 with a high torque rotor with good success. |
