Castle Creations Inc. Releases SPORT PERFORMANCE ESC WITH CRYO-DRIVE™ for R/C Surface Markets

OLATHE, Kan., January 25, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Castle Creations Inc., the leader in electronic speed controllers (ESC) and BLDC motors for radio controlled (R/C) car, air, and multi-rotor hobby markets, as well as commercial UAV and drone markets, is proud to announce the SIDEWINDER 4 SPORT 1:10 SENSORLESS ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROLLER. 

The all new SIDEWINDER 4 builds upon Castle’s most popular product family, the SIDEWINDER 1:10 SCALE SERIES. The SIDEWINDER 4 is the first to include Castle’s newest technology, CRYO-DRIVE™.  CRYO-DRIVE™ is an innovative combination of software and hardware enhancements which reduce operating  temperatures in all applications, providing higher performance.

The all new SIDEWINDER 4 SPORT ESC builds upon more than a decade of SIDEWINDER performance for the R/C car enthusiast. Bashers and racers alike will benefit from the all-new SIDEWINDER 4 with CRYO-DRIVE which offers pro-level performance and American-made quality at an affordable price.

The SIDEWINDER 4 includes a sleek, fully-vented case with a robust 30mm fan that is 44% larger than the SIDEWINDER 3 SCT cooling fan.  The new case design was created using fluid dynamics simulations to maximize the airflow into and out of the case, which enables the SIDEWINDER 4 cooling fan to more effectively remove heat from critical components such as MOSFETs and capacitors.

With these improvements, the SIDEWINDER 4 generates less heat and has significantly improved ventilation for COOLER TEMPS, LONGER RUNS AND MORE POWER, even in the harshest of R/C environments.

“The all new SIDEWINDER 4 SPORT ESC builds upon more than a decade of SIDEWINDER performance for the R/C car enthusiast. Bashers and racers alike will benefit from the all-new SIDEWINDER 4 with CRYO-DRIVE which offers pro-level performance and American-made quality at an affordable price”, said Patrick del Castillo, CEO of Castle Creations.
