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.
What ever the differences are I like the feel much better than the MMM. Now, I had been a die hard castle fan for more than a decade. I do have a MMP in my daughter's Ten T and I do like the the way that feels but, not as much as the RX8 . If castle made the new MMM like the MMP, I would certainly buy it over Tekin.

I guess we really cant go wrong either way when it comes down to it as the technology has vastly improved over the last decade.
