Losi LST E-Conversion Kit

Sensored is more suitable for racing applications where you want a very precise feel at low RPM. Like exiting a slippery corner.

Sensorless is better for high power requirements. I use the Mamba Monster with the 'Torque Control' setting active & no 'Punch Control'. It seems to be much smoother to drive. This ESC has given me hours of 'driving pleasure' with no fuss at all. I update the software regularly & it never misses a beat. MM's are not too badly priced from ebay either.

If you want a motor that they don't currently have in stock, just email them & they should be able to give you an indication of a restocking date.
I bought mine from ebay, along with the water cooling jacket.

BTW, I don't think the boat is quick yet. I'm upgrading my ESC to a 240HV & running it on 8S.

what makes sensorless better for high power applications? Finally got the truck out again today with my son and his mini summit. Complete disaster, it has so much power it just flips over constantly. I had an aluminum wheelie bar that sheered all four bolts holding it on. Looks like I"m looking for a new one unless I can figure something out.

I also think I damaged the transmission as its making a funny sound now. Still driving fine but definately making a different noise than it was.

any ideas how to calm this thing down? One speed conversion probably calm it down I assume, not really sure how the pinions work on this since I guess you have to replace both of them if I wanted to go smaller pinions or something while I have the 2 speed.

As for temps, battery was slightly warm, 6s 3000mah 20-30c pack, ESC was quite warm to hot and motor was pretty hot. Hot enough that you wouldn't want to touch it for more than a quick second. Sorry can't be more precise than that, I used to have a temp gun when it was nitro, but it died and I haven't needed one since.
