From all my years in BL and reading arcticles, posts etc UNsensored is slightly more efficent than sensored, It may be minute but thats what I feel is true.
STPETE40; I still have that Beta motor in my possesion that will do everything the 4600 Pro4 can do and plan on testing it again when we hit the 1/8scale track.
Well, you're correct because I have run my tenshock 4000kv / SC8 combo (unsensored) vs my club presidient's Tekin pro4 4000kv/rx8 (sensored)combo, and guess what? Not a lick faster. Dead even down the 150 ft. or so straight. Neither had an inch on the other. im on 13T pinion, and he's on a 14T. So, some will scoff, I've seen it, and it's true. No noticeable difference in ability to clear jumps, run up, nothing. Maybe a smidge smoother at lower, VERY low speeds, but aside from that, meh.
