This is particularly the case for the R1/R1 Pro (I am not sure why people would want RS for off-road?) where the slotless sensorless Redline motors work very efficiently on the ESC. A real pain they are not BRCA legal. If I was changing motor to anything else, I would change power cap, at 330 millifarads the can they supply is not a lot for other motors.
Wouldn't people prefer it for off road because it's sensored with sensorless backup rather than just sensorless? Does it have any disadvantages compared to the R1 pro?

Hope it all works anyway, got one waiting to wire up!
