    Hey, could someone explain to me the reason/benefits/use for sensored/sensorless brushless motors? Those of you that know me, know that I am mainly a plane guy. Just ordered me first car and really I am overwhelmed by the number of options available. My car is a 1/16 E-Revo VXL. I got that one because I am familiar with the Velineon system (I have one in my as yet unfinished sandrail). I also have a Spektrum DX3S radio with SR3300T Rx. This system has built-in telemetry. Is the sensored motor necessary for my telemetry to work? Really need some input, because with cars I truly am a noob. Thanks :D

    Thanks Wood. A lot of good info in that article (lots of big words too!) I think I got the gist of it though. Seems like the sensored motors are the better way to go. I'll have to keep that in mind when looking to upgrade...
