Will the Corally Sensored motor and esc make much of a difference with the syncro 4 on an track? I got some Reflex tires on order...but want to maybe goof around on the local off-road track.
 
From standstill and really low speeds sensored picks up speed more smoothly. Once rolling, I don’t think you’ll notice a difference.
If you run the stock transmitter I’d suggest upgrading it first. You’ll notice a better/faster response tiime. That’s definitely worth the (approx) € 60.

I’m not sure if it’s totally necessary unless your really serious, my take is sensor motors ESC smooth power delivery especially from take off. Me I’d work more towards to little things first like I did with the Spark, Lee servo saver spring, ADU braces, update the rear diff to 7075 with Spring steel outdrives, center diff upgrade ( TC ), hardened pinion 15-17t, if you want more adjustments the tie rod adjusters with rear caster camber adjustable links, tires and lastly setting up diffs to your style will give more benefit to your experience like it has for me

I run a sensored motor in my Sworkz (a Castle 1515 2200KV) and 2 flavours of un-sensored motor in my Kronos XTR (4275 2050kv & 4292 1780kv).

At lower speeds, where crawling speed is required, or on loose dusty parts of an actual track where you need very precise throttle input, sensored motors are preferable because the motor knows accurately from the hall effect sensors exactly what is going on.

Unfortunately, the benefits are lost at higher speeds and sensorless motors are actually more efficient than sensored at these higher speeds. They use back EMF, voltage and current measurements to accurately and smoothly provide what the motor needs.

The Castle system is pretty smart because it automatically switches to sensorless at high speed and back to sensored at low speed for a super efficient and intelligent solution. Sadly, sensored systems are much more expensive. Furthermore, sensored motors are water resistant rather than waterproof and not as resilient in impacts associated with massive jumps and chassis slaps.

For these reasons, sensorless motors are usually the first choice for bashers or those running for fun in larger open spaces. Such systems are generally waterproof and much more durable.

This is good to know. I am not very mechanically inclined...but I could definitely relay this too my buddy and he could help me adjust

I literally just got back from the track, and it was rough. Of course, on my many times to go flip my buggy over, I got the alert that my jconcepts tires arrived.

I see that Corally makes $110 2150 kv Sensored motor, and Sensored esc for $230 ish. Think I may go this route.
 
I believe HobbyWing offers a matched set up sensored that would be a bit cheaper and just as good. Read the TC motors that are sensor’d they offer a on road and off road but not sure they offer a 6s. I can’t remember now but I’ve looked at them also

Definitely bro HobbyWing makes TC’s Torox ESC anyways it’s just rebranded, just from what I’ve heard big speed is Castle, great all around HobbyWing with the best Tekno. Again I’m totally new to the car side but some of the guys also recommended another motor brand that has me interested especially when I upgrade the Kagama4 to 6s

Less expensive options:

https://rcjuice.com/products/hobbystar-4274-4-pole-brushless-sensored-motor-1-8-truggy-monster-truck

I believe the Hobbystar motor is a rebranded Surpass Hobby motor

Mad Max car ESCs are the same thing with different branding you can find reviews of those on Youtube like this one:


Integy sells the E6 in their web store, in Europe XC-ESC is distributed by Ruddog.

Just wanted to point out that I've had overheating problems with a Hobbywing Max 8 and 4278 motor combo for both the motor and the ESC and that was with a fan on the motor and the stock 13t pinion. That's why I'm bumping it up to a 200A ESC and a Castle 1717 1650KV motor. The 1717 is the biggest motor you can fit in an Asuga without cutting the sidwall (provided you use a 46T spur gear)
