Default Anyone run sensorless?

Ive got a Mamba Max ESC and want a BRCA legal motor to go with it should I race anywhere else other than a club night,

so my question is, does anyone run sensorless and what motor do you use?

I did use a Mamba Max esc and an orion motor and was quite rapid, but the esc cant handle any other manufacturers motors as well as it works with its own design of motors. The castle 5700 motor works well and can easily beat a 6.5 motor but is not legal anywhere except at club.

I over heated and blew up two Mamba esc's and thats when I decided to upgrade to the sensored esc which is much smoother and much better.

The speedo has been fine for me, I could do a lot worse to it than using it in a 2wd with a 7.4V Lipo!

I used to run Tekin Redline sensorless in my B44. Now I run the sensored, but I have it in dual mode, so it's sensorless as soon as it's rolling anyway!
Sensorless in off-road is fine in my book.
