In days of old when knights were bold and you could still get a round in for under a fiver (£5), sensored was the way to go for minimum cogging and maximum reliability, as sensorless setups relied on dodgy escs with poor software, so cogging was a horrid problem. These days withn the likes of CC and Tekkin's latest escs and software/firmware, cogging is pretty much history.

The main issue now is that some companies rely on the sensored factor of their systems in order to convince people its better & thus make a sale, where as infact the real difference is down to power and control finess. The hvmaxx is fine for 4s lipo and pushing around stock emaxxes, but if you need/want more power and/or speed, you have to step up to a more powerful system, and thats where the Tekkin and CC stuff is king.

There is a good thread burried in the Castle sub-forum where Patrick explains about their software and why its better than sensored systems 99% of the time.

End of the day- hvmaxx for 40mph and low gearing with moderate power and weight of truck (its a 380xl rotor in a 550 can), CC or Tekkin for anything more powerful or heavier (true 550 sized motor).
