And on the 1415 note. I love love love that motor. It's just time for a sensored for my racing. Even if I may be hesitant due to not really believing the Sensor is helping 'that' much in our Pro 4 Class.
I'm impressed with it so far. By the time I got home, dremeled, realized I bought a 5mm pinion vs a 1/8" pinion and had to run out again, I was only able to take it up and down the street a few times. This thing rips, even at the gearing you suggested. I even was able to mount the motor fan, after hacking the inside tabs and only using 1 zip-tie.
If you're feeling talkative and have a few minutes, can you explain to me the benefits of being sensored? Yes, I'm new and very impressionable, but from what I've been reading, being sensored is only better at low RPMs and actually a hindrance at high RPMs. That leaves me with 2 questions. 1) What is considered low RPM? The 1415 says max RPM is 75K. and 2) If people are gearing for the straights on their tracks, which is obviously high RPMs, does the gain of being sensored on the technical/slower parts make up for the "loss" on the straights/speed?
I hope that 2nd part makes sense to you.
