Default Sensorless vs Sensored Motors

Sensored must be better cuz everyone uses them correct. I mean who wouldn't want to use sensorless and get rid of that sensor cable? I know I would. So like I said sensored must be better since everyone is willing to deal with that ugly one more thing to worry about wire correct?

Sensored provides more reliable start up and better-smoother low speed control. Very useful for racing.

Not really. Youre trying to position a 2 pole motor, between three phases. It doesnt add up. Having a sensor wire tells the esc exactly where everything is, and can send the power directly where its needed instead of just starting at its preprogrammed sequence.

I was being sarcastic. An extra wire isn't even a problem. Especially with the gains you get with sensored. How else do you expect the motor to communicate with the esc? AT&T?
