Running GTB sensorless?

Can you run a Novak GTB (the old orange one) sensorless?
As need to run motor reverse direction for car and have been told not to run it sensored as won't work.
Can any one help?

Cheers Paul

I don't think this will work with the older GTB. I don't think changing the motors rotation direction is an option with the original GTB.

Sensored escs, such as the orig GTBs are compatible with sensored motors only. Our newer escs, such as the GTB2, have motor rotation built-in to the software. There is a chart on this page comparing the features of the old GTBs to the new GTB2s:
