fwiw = for what its worth. Just saying that the last one I bought was sensorless.
there really isnt a better, different motors for different applications. low turns and higher kv means faster speeds - typically desirable for onroad. higher turns and lower kv most associated with more torque and lower speeds. Although you can mix it up with 3s batteries and lower kv motors for good torque and speed, but that isnt really an onroad thing.
most escs can be programmed for good brakes and reverse.
