It is sensored. I'm having a problem with my B4 as it stutters all the time. I heard it's because of the sensor.

So if I remove the sensor wire off from the system, will it solve the problem? Will removing it damage the system?

I'm far from an expert here, but could the stuttering not be down to interference or lack of power getting to the motor?

I had a similar problem where the motor would stutter and also the steering would go nuts. I ended up fitting new battery connectors (to replace the standard tamiya style ones which couldn't provide the power) and moving to a 2.4Ghz radio set.

make sure the capacitor is still attached to the speed controller or turn the initial start power down to medium?

I want some simple replies.

Will removing the sensor wire damage to the motor?

Will the motor work without the sensor?

Yes or no answers please.

You're more likely to damage the ESC than the motor by trying to run it without the sensor lead in.

see my answer in your other thread. I had the exact same issue. Returned the LOSI to Horizon. Turned out to be a dodgy sensor cable/issue.

They replaced the whole lot free of charge. I had only had the combo for 3 months.
