CSE010-0176-00 Sidewinder Nano Micro ESC

Sidewinder Nano ESC

The Sidewinder Nano brings high-performance power to the rapidly growing micro-scale RC segment. Compact in size but powerful in capability, it features Castle’s CRYO-DRIVE technology, which improves thermal performance during partial throttle operation where most driving occurs.

The ESC comes ready to run out of the box and can also be tuned to suit your driving preferences. Programming is available through a Windows PC using a Castle Link USB adapter (sold separately), or wirelessly with a Castle B-Link Bluetooth adapter and the Castle Link mobile app (both sold separately).

For recommended motor, battery, and gearing setups, refer to the Castle Surface Product Finder.
