Default Is anyone running a sidewinder in a DEX410

I have an MMP SC combo in another vehicle, and it is great, but I want to get a 410 race buggy going on the cheap. I was wondering if anyone has run the Sidewinder combo in a 410?

The weight of a 410 is sure to be far below the 6ish lbs limit CC has posted for the Sidewinder, but how well does it work?

I'm running the SideWinder SV2 5700 combo, its a little tight ( shorten the wires, all good).

Goes like a rocket tho

I find adding the CCblower to the ESC is good practice if your going to run a whole pack at once, but for a race seems to be ok.
Running 23T/87T.

I had a Sidewinder 2 - not in a 410, but in a TRF201. It's footprint would be your main concern, so perhaps the ESC will fit on it's side? (Because it is pretty low).

That said, I wouldn't go for a sensorless system. I just stepped away from the Castle SV2/Castle-Neu 4600kV 1406 combo and switched to a HobbyKing X-Car Sensored 100A/5200kV 6.5T combo - It is a HUGE step in performance: Scarily sensitive - I needed a few packs to get used to that - but now I have, I really like it! It helped me to find why all my jumps looked like drunk driving, it just seems the car listens better to the throttle trigger

And for a sub-100USD price there's nothing that touches it spec vs. price. I bought it after all the recommendations I got - I spoke with at least 3 experienced racers who drove (or had driven) one and didn't have any problems with it. If you go for the HobbyWing combo, it's footprint is nearly as big as the SV2, and with the fan on top it is pretty high too (I managed to make it fit in my car though)

Thanks for the info. I went the other way and got a Viper VTX10 8.5 for the 410, pretty excited to get it going!
