Not essentially for smoother breaking but smooth start from full stop, from rolling backwards. In general sensored motors are the way to go.
All motors are basically magnets and copper wire theres really not to much difference between all of them except being sensored, senseless or having different oems.
You could fit some sensors yourself? I bought the Keda motors from Hobbyking and sensored them. I used bi-polar Honeywell SS411 hall sensors and two NTC 10k temp sensors that I recovered from an old laptop battery. They work well.
It’s already a DIY board and I would like to keep the “problems” as simple as possibel. It sounds cool that you are able to to it yourself but I’m sure thats another skilllevel.
I think i’m going to get a sensored one, sounds like the right thing to do.
Do you guys have any sugsessions regarding brands, that I can buy in europe ?
Like the alien:
All cars are basically the same too, motor, 4 wheels, brakes and such… the thing is that SK3’s in this community have been the best in terms of reliability.
Sensor vs sensorless is a different story. I have a board with sensorless motors and I live in an area with tons of hills. Shit isn’t a deal breaker. It will easily get him what he wants unless he is trying to do FOC or some such shit.
That’s not true, some motors use thick copper wire which reduces the air gaps, some motors have curved magnets, also many motors don’t have high temp epoxy which causes the magnets to come loose.
