And why running dualmode in the first place? I run dualmode when running offroad (where i do not need all the tinkering with ESC-setups) as I thought it would be safer as we run the risk of having a sensorwire-contats being disturbed by mod, dirt ...
if you run in sensored, and you lose your sensor wire, the esc reverts to sensorless, same in Dual Drive. Sensored can give you a lot more RPM, it will run a little cooler but the motor becomes harder to gear, and if you get the settings wrong, in sensored, you will have a screaming mod motor!!
