SIDEWINDER 1/10, the speed brain!

Oooo...my crown jewel hardware! This stuff is pure engineering! Symbol of mankind achievement over the years of technological advancement in micro computer techno stuff...and yaadaa yaa daa.. I just got it yesterday after a good bargain over the internet. This is a rare item to bargain. As you already know this CASTLE CREATION: SIDEWINDER 1/10 Electronic Speed Controller will be use to replace the dead MAMBA 25 ESC. Saw and holding it made a big smile on my face. Can't wait to install it.

RIP MAMBA 25

Here another piece of high end technology that went down the sewer. Could have trade it with PSP if i knew that would happens. After hard bashing with my mini truggy around the dirt track a magic smoke came out from the rear, couldn't figure out what went wrong so i pull the ESC out and do some checking. The FET chip was over cooked due to heavy overload amps punch cooked my ESC! damn. I've even almost fried my hands when tested it on LIPO pack that cause more than 100 degrees celcius burns. Oh well, Farewell Castle Creation: MAMBA 25 ESC. I was worth 6 month of running.
