Sidewinder 8th Drivers Ed Guide

Step 2: Plug a battery into your Castle ESC. (NOTE: If your ESC does not have a switch, hold full

throttle on your transmitter before plugging in the battery.)

Step 3: Hold full throttle on the transmitter and turn the ESC’s switch ON. Keep holding full

throttle on the transmitter. If all your connections are correct, you will hear one multi-toned

initialization “ring” from the motor (all tones are played by the ESC vibrating the motor).

STEP 4: After a second or two, the green LED on the ESC will blink rapidly and the motor will

“ring” 4 times rapidly in a row (accepting the full throttle endpoint). After the green LED ﬂashes

and tones, the ESC will blink the red LED. At this point the full throttle endpoint has been set

within the ESC and now it’s looking for the full brake endpoint (red LED blinking).

STEP 5: Move the throttle trigger to the full brake position and hold full brake. After a few

seconds, the ESC will ﬂash the red LED and ring 4 times rapidly (accepting full brake endpoint).
