SW4 12.6V 2A BEC Waterproof Sensorless ESC with 1406-4600KV Motor (CSE010016401)
Sidewinder 4 Brushless ESC and 1406-4600Kv Motor Combo is a compact, all‑in‑one brushless power system designed for 1/10‑scale 2WD electric vehicles. It pairs a waterproof Sidewinder 4 ESC with a 1406-4600Kv motor, optimized for 2S–3S LiPo power (6–8 NiMH). The ESC runs sensorless and includes a fixed 5V, 2A BEC, plus a splash‑resistant 30mm fan for cooling. Since the motor’s sensored inputs aren’t compatible with this ESC, it will operate in sensorless mode, and it isn’t intended for use in 4WD short course trucks.
CRYO-DRIVE cooling technology helps keep temperatures down for longer runs and higher performance. Key benefits include smoother sensorless starts, audible error alerts, and enhanced drag braking, with six common transmitter‑programmable settings. The package supports updates via Windows Castle Link software or a Field Link Card, and Telemetry Link compatibility with Futaba S.BUS2 is available (sold separately).

Overview
Introducing the SW4 12.6V 2A BEC Waterproof Sensorless ESC with 1406-4600KV Motor, an essential combo for enthusiasts seeking versatility and performance. The Sidewinder 4 Brushless ESC utilizes Castle’s latest technology, CRYO-DRIVE, enhancing thermal performance to ensure cooler temperatures, longer run times, and increased power during operation. This versatile ESC is suitable for a wide array of applications, from dirt tracks to trails, guaranteeing optimal performance in every setting.
This combo includes the Castle Sidewinder 4 Brushless ESC paired with the Castle 1406-4600KV Brushless Sensored motor, perfect for 2WD short course trucks on 2s LiPo batteries and geared conservatively. The motor is an excellent choice for 1/10th scale 2WD stadium trucks and buggies, providing reliable performance for general bashing, with limited usability on 3s due to increased temperature. It is also a great upgrade for 1/10th scale on-road cars, compatible with both 2s and 3s configurations, though it is not suitable for 4WD short course trucks.
The Sidewinder 4 ESC offers features such as waterproof design, audible alerts for error conditions, and enhanced drag brake functionality. It supports sensorless brushless and brushed motor operations and provides a fixed 5.0 volts, 2 amps Peak BEC. Noteworthy enhancements include smoother sensorless startups and convenient transmitter programming for adjustable settings, with additional configurations through Castle Link software or the Field Link Card (each sold separately). Compatible with Futaba's telemetry link, this setup is designed to meet the demands of serious hobbyists.
Transform your RC experience with the reliability and performance of the SW4 12.6V 2A BEC Waterproof Sensorless ESC with 1406-4600KV Motor.
