It would be nice if the ESC just waited for a "no input from the transmitter" and ignored input coming from the sensor wire in that situation.
Randy can you confirm what I have seen?
Your are correct, I am running a sensored motor. During my tests with the body off, on a flat hardwood floor in my home, the car is at a complete dead stop for a full 5-10 seconds. I then pull the trigger in full reverse and I could see the ESC red leds light up and it is getting a full reverse signal from my transmitter but my truck does not move. I then pull the truck forward a couple times, hit reverse and it works.
