Basically with 6s LiPo and a novak sensored 13.5 or 17.5 motor it will perform better than the Mamba max with a 3s LiPo and a 5700KV motor... run longer, stay cooler, etc.

Sensored gives you that little extra bit of control on the starts and stops if you race. But unlike the other sensored ESCs you are not limited to sensored motors only, you can run either.

Switching BEC means the ESC runs cooler overall especially when running 3s or more.

Even if you get it from the bpp site, it's $20. more for the pro version which to me seems worth it.
