Pretty much the most anticipated body release since online pre-release announcements took hold, even the R8 and Mc Laren became popular "after" they were released and known to perform. The details in close ups look amazing!....here's hoping to release of kit versions too. (white bodies)

Big leap forward in motor size shrinkage from last sensored 28th scale offerings from X-power BUT even though it may not look it the motor itself is still quiet a bit larger in diameter than standard sensorless motors and the esc itself even decased is simply huge so still no good for 2wd until they make one specifically to fit in one. Once these get used in AWD's for a while I'd like to hear the feedback to see if there's actually any feel or performance advantage over the senseless ones... never heard any complaints about the senseless ones, the firmware is so good that they already drive just like sensoreds.

A joy to drive too


So looks like the new BL sensored system from Team Powers fits in 2WD's just fine!
Looking forward to seeing videos and feedbacks as more people get busy with these.

Nice. Does Is Kenon stock that system?

Not yet, it's too new and PN has it's own line of BL motors (sensor-less of course) so they may decide not to carry it for now but even if thy did I would have waited for more general feedback. Also the power this motor puts out can only be used for mod racing which means at PN will be good for time attacks & running as Grants practice time lamb car ()but not the tri-annual racing events, till we add a mod class possibly next year.

It is very well thought out though...leaves absolutely no extra adjustments to be desired... all there already:

yasuji

Um.... rumor has it that its twice the cost of the PN system or the kyosho system for that fact... and aside from the motor rotation and finer adjustment points I don't feelthat this is a necessity but please someone buy one... I'll test it for u.... hahahaha

RC mart has the motor & ESC combo for a price comparable to existing sysytems but looks like without the LCD card... the ebay listings are probably fishing for people wiling to pay markup before wide availability.

Reason I'm not getting it yet is coz I neither see nor feel even one short coming with existing sensorless systems...I need to be convinced that somehow or other sensored is actually better & faster before I'm willing to set up a new car and deal with that extra sensor wire etc.

BTW they do come in two flavors but both still in mod territory...7200kv & 8400kv.

neoneo1neo

the boost and turbo delay settings can sure help you go even more insanely faster.

neoneo1neo

i think the power output curve for sensored BL could be more linear compare to sensorless BL system. and since now with these you can fine tune timing and turbo, if you set turbo delay, may be you can pulling the throttle harder and earlier when exiting an apex. and let the motor do the work. some one pls buy it and try it out!!!!
