I believe that if you can show receipt that you bought it brand new, it will be covered under the warranty. I had a duratrax temp gauge from eBay and I contacted Duratrax to see if I'm covered under the warranty and they told me yes.

It is safe to buy it off eBay.

It is a quality system, don't worry about this. You have Castle behind you just in case something goes wrong.

If you want 100% answer. Give them a quick call and they will tell you and make sure you print the PayPal receipt when you buy it. By the way, I bought my Mamba Max off eBay too

If it's new they should support you regardless of where you bought it, they're pretty good about it. Like Samguan said, keep track of the PayPal receipts.

The Sidewinder is a good system and fast too. No complaints here!
