Sidewinder 8th Drivers Ed Guide

WARNING: This is an extremely powerful brushless motor system. We strongly recommend
removing your pinion gear for your own safety and the safety of those around you before performing
calibration and programming functions with this system. Please keep your hands, hair, pets, fuzzy
purple shorts and garden gnomes clear from the gear train and wheels of an armed high performance
system. Rubber tires will “grow” to extreme size on a high speed vehicle. DO NOT hold the vehicle
in the air and run it up to full throttle. Tire failures at speed can cause serious injury! Make sure your
tires are securely glued to the rims and check them often! Always disconnect the battery from the
ESC when you are finished using your vehicle. The switch on the ESC controls the power that is
delivered to the receiver and servo(s). The controller will always draw current when it is connected
to the battery and will completely discharge batteries if they are connected for long durations. This
may cause failure of your batteries and/or ESC. Castle Creations will not warranty ESCs damaged by
batteries that are left plugged in. Castle Creations is not responsible for any damage as a result of
batteries left plugged in to your ESC. ALWAYS disconnect your batteries after use. Your Castle
ESC is programmed to sound a tone every thirty seconds to remind you that it is still powered.
