Castle - Make A Special Edition Monster

To each their own I suppose. I figured you missed it since you mentioned nothing of that particular ESC.

Why is there no benefit to sensored? Wouldn't that give the ESC an advantage for performance if you could come up with software to take advantage of it? I would assume the more information the ESC knows for sure, the better.

No, because the sensor data is arbitrary to timing -- this is another reason why sensors are a bad idea -- the controller has no idea how much advance the sensors have. Also, usually there is some phase skew from sensors as well -- so that upsets timing as well. As the saying goes, Garbage in, Garbage out...

Adding sensor data to sensorless data would actually make timing worse, and reduce efficiency...

I have a sensored 1/10th scale system from another vendor & I can say for sure. There is no more cogging in my MMM/Nue set up than in that other vendors system. On top of that the MMM is WAY more programmable than that other system as well. Before I ran the MMM, I was worried about cogging but now that I have run the MMM, the subject of cogging does not even come into my head (unless you guys post something about it).
