There are still a few things that remain unclear after looking over the manual.
- How exactly does the adjustment via the 3rd channel work? How would the radio have to be set up to make the adjustments?
- In the manual, the sensor adapter looks like a sensor wire extension. Is there some kind of special connector on the ESC that prevents the sensor from plugging directly into the ESC?
- If Futaba S-bus is supported through an adapter, is SSL support for Airtronics radios possible?

We may have a sensor motor option in the future - - but not any time real soon.

The ESC uses a standard 2mm header block for the sensor -- the adapter has a 2mm female header on one side, and the standard JST sensor connector on the other side.
Yes, it's possible for other radios to support the telemetry -- There is a published specification on our website.
Thanks!

So this esc cannot operate a sensored motor with a standard sensor wire? If i have to purchase something separately, then Tekin or Hobbywing gets my money.

I think the standard sensor harness plugs are crap so if this is better it doesn't bother me one bit. It jsut better be reasonably priced

Ive never had an issue with a sensor harness. But if a adaptor is required. You think they would include it.

I have a fun little challenge for you. When you get your hands on a Monster X, race or bash with it with the sensor wire connected for X amount of time then disconnect the sensor wire and drive it the same way. You will be pleasantly surprised with the non sensored operation. The engineers at Castle have done an amazing job with the programming both on and off sensor.
