They are coming out with sensored systems most likely so they can comply to ROAR rules and be used in ROAR sanctioned races, which Novak seems to have a choke hold on and the rules always tend to be in Novak's favor.... (As in, only being allowed to run 4S for 1/8 electric buggy/truggy racing, which the Novak systems just so happen to be limited to 4S for their 1/8 systems, and various other little specs like that.)

And of course, Novak will probably deny all of this here on the forums, but anyone who has read up on ROAR rules and been racing long enough and been to both sides of the spectrum with brushless (sensored and sensorless) will be able to realize that Novak is a huge influence on ROAR rules, and ever notice how they had such a big monopoly on the brushless market for the longest time until Castle became a big hit.... Whether you want to believe it or not, and whether Novak denies it or not, they do have a choke hold and HUGE influence of ROAR rules in their favor. But anyway, so this doesn't turn into a brand loyalty flame war, lets get back onto this guy's topic.


EDIT: I also just found out that for 1/8 electric racing, ROAR now allows sensorless systems, so Castle systems are legal, however the ROAR rules still limit you to 4S. Personally I think they should up the specs on the rules to 5S and 6S so Novak will step up their game and produce a system to handle 5S and 6S, because Castle is already way ahead of them in voltage terms (MMM can handle 6S).
