Our Answer

The Castle Creations Sidewinder and Castle Creations Mamba Max are great options for a 2WD short course mod class.

The 5700kv motor will be more than enough power to compete in the mod class.

The Sidewinder is the more affordable ESC/Motor combo, but still a great product. If you are on a budget, go with this ESC/Motor combo.

The Mamba Max costs more and is a top of the line system. The high quality materials and construction produces lower motor temperatures and a longer life for the system.
