1. Cant sus out if its sensored?
2. What is the 5700 motor in turns, ie 5.5t or 6.5t??????
3. Are they any good, compared to similar prices ie losi combo??

1. The Sidewinder ESC and all Castle motors are sensorless.

2.In terms of APM the 5700 is slower than both the 5.5 and 6.5, but in terms of torque and overall power it has more than them. I would say it is similar to the 5.5 overall.

3. I used to run a Castle 4600 motor (on LiPos) in my XX4 and I had to limit it's power by programing the ESC because it was too powerful. I'm not sure the Sidewinder ESC can handle the loads of a 4X4, I used a Mamba Max ESC.
I would recommend fans for the ESC and motor.
I run a Sidewinder in my 2WD.
