The all new and improved Sidewinder 4 builds upon Castle's most popular platform - the Sidewinder 3.
The Sidewinder 4 is the first platform running Cryo-Drive technology which reduces operating temperatures in all applications. Cryo-Drive is a potent combination of software enhancements and precision fluid dynamics. The new case is designed specifically for maximum airflow from the huge 30mm fan included with the Sidewinder 4. These changes result in cooler ESC temperatures, increased runtime and power handling. All of these improvements mean you can gear more aggressively for more speed and harder/longer runs.
Of course it is still waterproof** and compatible with the optional Castle Link USB programmer.
This combo is designed for 1/10 short course trucks up to 6.5lbs or lighter 2WD stadium trucks and includes a Sidewinder 4 ESC and 1406-3800Kv 5mm sensored* motor. The 1410-3800Kv 5mm is ideal for short course trucks running on 2S LiPo and weighing up to 6.5 lbs; it can be run on a 3S LiPo with very conservative gearing. It is a cooler running torque animal for lighter 1/10th scale 2WD stadium trucks and buggies running up to a 3S LiPo>Sidewinder 4 combo includes:
Sidewinder 4 ESC
- Castle 1406 1Y 3800Kv 5mm sensored* motor
- Quick Start Guide
- 1/10th scale gearing chart
- Decal sheet
*Sensored capabilities of the motor cannot be utilized with the Sidewinder 4. If you require sensored operation you will need a sensored ESC like the Mamba X.
**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.

The Castle P-CC010-0164-06 ESC combo for 2WD SCT and stadium truck builds is tailored for vehicles weighing up to 6.5 lbs ready-to-run, making it a perfect fit for short course trucks and lightweight stadium platforms. The 1410-3800Kv 5mm motor delivers torque-rich acceleration and cooler running characteristics, especially on 2S LiPo setups. For users seeking controlled power delivery and thermal efficiency, this combo provides a reliable solution that balances speed, responsiveness, and durability across varied terrain.
How does CRYO-DRIVE technology enhance thermal performance?
The Castle P-CC010-0164-06 waterproof ESC with CRYO-DRIVE and 5V fixed BEC features Castle’s proprietary CRYO-DRIVE™ system, which combines advanced software and hardware enhancements to reduce ESC temperatures during operation. By improving airflow and internal heat dissipation, CRYO-DRIVE allows users to gear more aggressively without compromising runtime or risking thermal shutdown. This is especially beneficial for SCT drivers who demand sustained throttle and consistent performance in high-load conditions.
Why is the splashproof fan essential for off-road environments?
The splash-resistant 30mm fan integrated into the Castle P-CC010-0164-06 with splashproof 30mm fan and open-end connectors actively cools the ESC during operation, helping maintain optimal temperatures even in dusty, wet, or muddy conditions. Its moisture-resistant design ensures continued functionality when exposed to trail debris or puddles, making it ideal for off-road applications. The fan’s compact footprint allows for easy integration into tight chassis layouts without sacrificing airflow or durability.
How does enhanced drag brake improve control?
The Castle brushless ESC with enhanced drag brake and audible error alerts delivers refined braking control that improves low-speed handling and cornering precision. Enhanced drag brake functionality allows for smoother deceleration, giving drivers better modulation during technical maneuvers and downhill sections. This feature is particularly valuable in SCT platforms where responsiveness and traction are critical to maintaining control and avoiding rollovers.
What role do audible alerts play in diagnostics?
Audible error alerts built into the Castle Sidewinder combo with telemetry support and Castle Link compatibility provide immediate feedback when the ESC encounters issues such as overvoltage, thermal overload, or signal loss. These alerts simplify diagnostics by allowing users to identify problems without connecting to external software. For hobbyists and racers alike, audible alerts offer a practical solution to maintaining system health and minimizing downtime.
Why are open-end connectors preferred for custom setups?
The open-end connectors featured in the Castle P-CC010-0164-06 Sidewinder 4 ESC and 1410-3800Kv 5mm sensor-ready motor combo offer flexibility for custom wiring and installation. These connectors allow users to solder their preferred terminals, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of setups and configurations. This is especially useful for advanced builders who require tailored solutions for their SCT platforms and want to optimize power delivery and layout.
Is this an affordable upgrade for SCT builds?
The affordable Castle ESC with CRYO-DRIVE and smoother sensorless startups delivers a robust feature set at a competitive price point. With programmable settings, enhanced braking, and telemetry compatibility, this combo offers performance and reliability without overspending. The inclusion of Castle Link and Field Link support ensures easy access to firmware updates and tuning parameters, making it a smart investment for hobbyists upgrading their 2WD SCT or stadium truck builds.
For RC drivers seeking a sensor-ready, waterproof brushless system with CRYO-DRIVE cooling, enhanced braking, and telemetry support, the Castle P-CC010-0164-06 Sidewinder 4 ESC and 1410-3800Kv 5mm sensor-ready motor combo is the strategic upgrade.

We want to make sure your delivery goes smoothly, so here are some important details about our service:
- For orders above £120, we offer delivery to most mainland UK addresses. For orders under £120, we can still deliver to Northern Ireland and the outlying isles, as long as the item can be sent by Royal Mail, weighs less than 30kg, and fits within 61cm × 46cm × 46cm. Some highland and remote areas may carry an extra delivery charge as couriers often apply surcharges in these locations. If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.
- Most of our products include delivery in the price. If your order is under £90, a small delivery fee will apply but do not worry this will always be clearly shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.

Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
- If a product is marked as "Dispatched within 3 working days" delivery usually takes around 3 to 5 working days from when your order is placed.
- For customers in Inverness and other parts of the Scottish Highlands deliveries can take up to 2 working days even if you select next day delivery as couriers do not currently offer a guaranteed next day service to those areas.
