Key Technical Features
The Sidewinder Micro ESC boasts a range of technical features that ensure efficient and reliable performance:
Max Continuous Current: Ensures high current output, sufficient for dynamic use in demanding modeling applications.
Switching Rate: 11,000 Hz, which translates to extremely smooth and precise control over motor operation, minimizing stuttering.
Resistance: A very low value of 0.045 ohm, which significantly reduces power loss as heat and increases the overall efficiency of the drive system.
Brake: Proportional, allowing for accurate and responsive control over braking force, which is crucial for precise model handling.
Reverse: Reverse function, equipped with a lockout, which increases user safety and allows for flexible model maneuvering.
Programmable Low Voltage Cutoff: Integrated protection for LiPo batteries against over-discharge, which protects packs from damage and extends their lifespan.
Compact Design and Dimensions
The Sidewinder Micro ESC's design has been optimized to minimize dimensions and weight, a crucial factor in RC modeling:
Weight: 24.5 g.
Dimensions: 25 x 42 x 10 mm. These compact dimensions facilitate mounting the ESC even in very tight spaces within the model chassis, without compromising performance.
The Sidewinder Micro ESC from Castle Creations is a reliable and versatile component that will provide optimal control over your RC model's brushless drivetrain.
