Is the Speedpassion GT (which is a sensorless esc) a downgraded version of the Xerun or does it have the same beefed up specs?
The Xerun is the model that the manufacturer sells. The Xerun now for example is on version 2.0 and that's the version Speed Passion should be on right now. The Speed Passion GT and LPF which are the Xerun 120A and 60A are both sensored and sensorless (Not sensorless only). The Speed Passion, Venom and Orion ESCs should have the same specs as the Xerun controllers. If you go to
www.redrc.net you can see that Speed Passion just added the 1/18 controller to the line up and Hobbywing had that available for a while now.
