Clod having dual esc and motors has me wondering if there is any benefit or drawbacks to having sensored or sensorless motors for racing (will only be used for racing).
I was thinking about a brushless Castle or Hobbywing combo, but stuck on a couple of things.
Is there much difference between sidewinder 3 and the SW4 for castle?
The hobbywing senseless 4600kv is 60mm so I was looking at the sensored combo at 54mm but it is also $50 more, so it would be $100 total more.
So my thoughts are castle SW4 4600kv vs hobbywing sensored 4600kv. Leaning towards castle due to costs but hesitant because of the sensor question. I have hobbywing in my sct410 and really like it, no experience with castle.

Sorry for all the questions, but you guys/gals are my only source for advice. Thank you!

I think sensored is always the way to go. Monster trucks do go slow in turns and that's where sensored really helps and sensorless hurts.

I didnt think of the turning thing. I was worried about if there were additional problems syncing them. But your point makes sense to me.

if your racing a clod your not going to be driving slow in corners.. Ive been running my racing clod with sensoreless gear for many years with no issues...

Racers all run sensored. A sensorless setup hasnt won at a major event in years. Wouldnt ever go back to sensorless. Sensored will be no harder to setup then sensorless.
