SW4 12.6V 2A BEC Waterproof Sensorless ESC with 1406-5700KV Motor (CSE010016402)

The SW4 12.6V 2A BEC Waterproof Sensorless ESC with 1406-5700KV Motor is an excellent choice for hobbyists looking to enhance their remote-controlled vehicles. This ESC and motor combo builds upon Castle's well-known SIDEWINDER 1:10 SCALE SERIES and introduces CRYO-DRIVE technology, which optimizes thermal performance for longer run times and increased power.

Designed for versatility, this setup supports 2 to 3-cell LiPo batteries and 6 to 8 cell NiMH batteries, making it suitable for vehicles weighing up to 6.5 lbs with the battery included. The sensorless operation enhances performance for both brushless and brushed motors, along with waterproof design and a splash-resistant 30MM fan for added durability.

Offering a fixed 5.0 volts, 2 amps Peak BEC, this ESC also includes audible alerts for error conditions, enhanced drag brake functionality, and smoother sensorless starts. The convenience of transmitter programming allows for six adjustable settings, while additional settings and updates can be managed through Windows-based Castle Link software via a USB adapter or through a Field Link Card, both sold separately. It's also compatible with Telemetry Link for Futaba S.BUS2, providing further customization for enthusiasts.

The included 1406-5700KV motor is optimized for 2WD short course trucks on 2s LiPo, making it a reliable choice for general bashing and limited runs on 3s, although care should be taken to monitor temperatures with higher voltage. This combination is not intended for 4WD short course trucks and is also a fantastic upgrade for 1/10 scale on-road vehicles running on 2s and 3s batteries.
