If the motor is showing a Kv value it will be a sensorless motor (and as such needs to be used with a sensorless ESC) - the Castle Creations Mamba/Sidewinder are sensorless motors.

Sensorless tends to be cheaper but can suffer from cogging (stuttering) when starting off or at low speeds which is where the sensored ones are smooth.
