I was actually waiting to see if castle was coming out w/a sensored 1/8 set up before I went ahead and spent all that $ . Oh well.

The thing that is funny about remarks like that (meaning people saying how they like the sensored feel of the RX-8) is that the great majority of the time, probably 99%+, the RX-8 is running in sensorless mode. It just uses the sensors (when available) to start the motor. Once the car is moving faster than a walking pace it is pure sensorless. That's not even something you can change with the software: the RX-8 has no "sensored only" mode like the Tekin RS/RS Pro and the Castle MMP.
So what you are really liking about about your RX-8 is the programming that gives a different throttle feel than the Castle ESC software. ...and maybe the current limiter, if you use it.
