How many volts can my Mamba MAx sidewinder take?

[ev1er]

As the title says, How many volts can my Castle crations sidewinder 4600 take?

Can it take a 7.4 Lipo pack?

What Lipo pack will I get the longer runtimes with?

Will this be a good lipo for the sidewinder 4600?

Or this:?

the sidewinder 4600 can take upto 3s lipo without an external UBEC with an UBEC it can take upto 4s lipo.

Both of those battery's you posted will work fine with the sidewinder 4600.

7.4v (2s) lipo will be fine, but if you want to go quicker you can use a 3s lipo which will give you a better top speed and also works with your sidewinder.

Hang on, is there a max sidewinder and a regular sidewinder? Cause I thought the sidewinder was a fancy way of saying mamba with a software update.

The SideWinder is 2/3's of a Mamba Max. A few less FET's for a current rating of 70 amps vs 100 amps for the MM. The voltage rating (under warranty) is the same 3S LiPo when used with the 4600 motor. They only recomend 2S when running the 5700. And the 6900 and 7700 motors are not recomended.

There's a mamba micro pro (35 amp capability I think), the mamba 25, the sidewinder micro (replaces the mamba 25), the sidewinder (which is 70% of the mamba's capabilities like GSM said), and then there's the mamba max and mamba monster max.
