Since the LRP don't take sensorless brushless motors, does it take sensored brushless motors from other makers, or is it limited to the LRP range?

I think I have made up my mind:

Motor: LRP Vector X-11 5.5 turn Brushless Motor $74.95

ESC: LRP Sphere 2007 Competition Brushless Controller $189.95

Am I on the right track here?

I've been running the RS for a while now and it is a great bit of kit and can run sensored motors and sensorless. I would recomend running a sensored motor but the great thing with this speedo is that if you sensor lead fails or the motor sensors fail/gets wet, it will still run unlike most of the top escs. Also, you can always have the latest software downloaded from the Tekin site. They are extremely reliable and probably the smallest brushless system on the market. You won't go far wrong with any of the top brands but its definately one to consider.

They also have a range of sensored motors coming out which have just been ROAR approved so should be BRCA legal very soon.
