I am no expert which you can see from the OP, but from my limited understanding, sensored has an extra wire:
amazon.com/Atomik-RC-Brushless-Motor-Sensor/dp/B00I03LAPI (sry still cant post direct links)
btwn the ESC and motor, that "monitors" the armature in the can, which improves low RPM efficiency and prevents low RPM cogging. the technology is apparently getting better, but there were talks i read about that a sensored motor *could* be less effiecient, but *could* also provide improved braking?
sensorless doesnt have this wire, the powerband isnt as smooth but is supposedly more efficient?
someone PLEASE correct me if I am wrong with any of the above, but that is my understanding.
but having limited time running and experiencing both sensored and sensorless, the only *REALLY* noticeable difference to me was the powerband when the car is moving very slowly (think 20% throttle and less) - it was much smoother with the sensored.
