Default Novak 55T and Sidewinder Micro

Simply put can I use a Sidewinder micro with a Noak 55T motor or is it just a bad idea.... plane and simple, not looking for a flame war.... [8D]

depends on what you want to use it for- ive used the 55t motors and they barely pulled any amps- so i guess as long as you dont do anything really current heavy(as its only 25 amps) but you should be good. the 55t can be run on 12v too, so you might have an advantage there.

I wouldn't do it, the Sidewinder has no heatsinks. Plus it's only intended for 380 size motors.

Right... thats what I was thinking. I am not going to use the "SWM" (sidewinder micro) for anything huge in the crawling scene... i was just thinking it maybe an interesting idea but.... well see. I do know one member who uses 2, Mamba 25 ESC's on his XTM X-Crawler with 2, 1,100 KV b-less motors and has no issues so I am thinking the 55T should be fine.... Heck I can run like 20 mins or so on a 1450 2S lipo going WOT (haha 6 MPH) most of the time so [8D]
