Hi, I have been running dual sidewinder micros with t45 motors works fine, but I want to try t35 hand wound motors. Will the sidewinder micros still work without overheating? I use a 1300 mah lipo battery. Thanks,
I am currently running dual Sidewinder Micro Pro's on 3S LiPO with 35T handwounds on them. No issues in ~1 year of running in a 2.2 comp rig.Hi, I have been running dual sidewinder micros with t45 motors works fine, but I want to try t35 hand wound motors.

Check the programming. It's probable that the ESCs are programmed to limit reverse power.
Sidewinder Micro's do have an adjustable reverse limit. Sounds like this is whats going on with yours. Throw it on a CC link and check the settings. If the reverse isn't set to 100% then adjust it there and test the rig again "thumbsup"
What version, I usually stick to 1.28.Nevermind. I fixed it. I rolled the firmware back a few versions. Damn you Castle! :lol:
I think the older version are best for crawling, sorta want to play with some newer versions just to test.8)1.24, IIRC. I just picked one that wasnt Beta.
Last year I was running a mamba 25 with a brushless outrunner in one of my rigs and I updated to firmware v1.25(I think) and it was nothing but problems reverse was slow and had to double tap to get it to go into reverse, even tho I had it set forward to brake to reverse. Drag brake was non existing. I hooked it back up to the castle link and tried to go back to v1.24 but the problems still existed. I'm not sure if the update did something to the software that couldn't be undone or what. To fix the problem I switched to my spare installed v1.24 only and everything was peachy after that. Sold the other esc to someone to someone to run in a mini T. They had no problems with it in forward only. Has anyone else run into a problem like this?
