Castle has developed new software that \nminimizes the amount of time the ESC's electrical components spend \ngenerating heat by optimally controlling which components are being used\n while driving the motor. This is happening thousands of times per \nsecond, which greatly reduces the rate at which the Sidewinder 4 heats \nup. Overall, the Sidewinder 4 generates heat much slower than previous \nversions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis software breakthrough has been coupled with a \ncompletely re-designed case. A great deal of time was spent studying \nfluid dynamics simulations in order to optimize the airflow through the \ncase. Improving the airflow into and out of the case, allows the cooling\n fan to become more effective. In order to take full advantage of the \nimproved airflow efficiencies, a 44% larger, higher flowrate 30mm fan \nwas selected. The improved case coupled with the 30mm fan significantly \nincreases the Sidewinder 4's ability to remove heat from critical \ncomponents, such as MOSFETs and capacitors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy reducing the rate \nat which the Sidewinder 4 heats up and removing heat more efficiently, \nCryo-Drive takes thermal performance to a whole new level. The \nSidewinder 4 allows users to push beyond the limits of previous \ngeneration Sidewinders by handling higher gear ratios in heavier \nvehicles with longer runs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCastle Link Compatible\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the optional Castle Link USB Programming Kit you can use your Windows™ PC to easily program your controller.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdjustable settings include:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrottle curve\u003cbr\u003eBraking curve\u003cbr\u003eDrag brake\u003cbr\u003eAuto LiPo cutoff\u003cbr\u003ePunch Control\u003cbr\u003eReverse Type\u003cbr\u003eMotor Type\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdditional Castle Link benefits include:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccess to all firmware updates, including added features sets released from Castle Engineering, at no charge.\u003cbr\u003eIntuitive Demo Mode capability.\u003cbr\u003eAbility to save setup profiles for later use.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eController Technical Specs:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInput Voltage Range:     2s - 3s LiPo; 6 - 8 cell NiMH\u003cbr\u003eBEC Specifications:     5.0 volts fixed, 2 amps.\u003cbr\u003eOperating Environment:     Waterproof* design allows for use in nearly any environment\u003cbr\u003eBrake:     Proportional\u003cbr\u003eReversible:     Yes, but may be disabled for racing.\u003cbr\u003eOn\/Off Switch:     Yes\u003cbr\u003eCooling Fan:     30mm fan included\u003cbr\u003eESC Size:     L: 2.08\" (52.92mm)\u003cbr\u003eW: 1.50\" (38.05mm)\u003cbr\u003eH: 1.28\" (32.56mm)\u003cbr\u003eESC Weight (w\/wires):     2.26 oz.

We strongly suggest using 5,000 mAh \nor larger LiPo cells with a discharge rating of at least 30C (or high \nquality 25C batteries such as Traxxas® Power Cells®). Our experience \nsuggests using only mild gear ratios with NiMH cells.
