Seems strange. They don't offer a single motor that is sensored. Yet their ESC's are.

The MMP is a great controller,the sensor connection gives you room to grow. For example it can be used as a 17.5 Stock Blinky Class no timing ESC for racing with a 17.5 sensored motor.

Aren't most of the Castle controllers non sensored? Do they have any sensored besides the Mamba Max Pro?

the mamba monster is not sensored.

That’s what I thought. Although since they do have the MMPro, it does seen to be a good question. Why not get into sensored motors? They obviously have a large customer base to build on.

My guess is they only build for the basher market and they feel sensorless is the way to go

The theory behind it is that the way their electronic work to monitor motor timing and power through the motor pulses and waves....and stuff I dont EVEN understand. Once the motor picks up speed, it is supposed to be the the most efficient, coolest running way for a motor to operate. The only problem is that there is a lag at times untill the motor gets up to speed, this is the cogging that happens. There are ways to minimize if not eliminate that issue and I think the newer esc and motors help this. Thats why most of their stuff is non sensored. But they also know that roar does not approve non sensored systems so they made the MMP to be able to compete in
roar events, and the fact that many competitors just cant deal with the cog stuff. In a MMP profile you can set it for Smart sense, which basically uses the sensor to get you the smooth starts and then goes to non sensored to help efficiency. Thats the way I run all mine.
