If someone could put out a sensored system that can deal out the amount of power your guys' system puts out, I think it'd be a hit (screw ROAR... I could care less if it's ROAR legal). I'm pretty happy with my Mamba Max and Medusa setup though.

Methinks I need a CC BEC so I can run 3s happily all day.

Yeah, sensorless systems are significantly more efficient. The reason is that the controller can vary timing based on RPM, load, etc. and uses the OPTIMUM timing at all loads and RPMs.

With the sensorless startup algorithm we have, there is no need for sensors unless you are doing something like rock crawling -- so why have the reliability issues of the additional wiring harness and PCB, AND the additional cost?

Don't fall for the BS Hype -- sensored is worse in almost every way.

Now for rock crawling, where the motor needs to have torque when not rotating, sensored has a slight advantage.
