Default Electrics recommendations and do I need sensored?

Hi,

I have been running my JQ eCar for a couple of runs now with a Hobbywing SC8 speedo and a Reedy 1800kv motor.

What other electrics options (speedo and motors) are there, preferably in the UK that I could look at?

My Hobbywing SC8 is not sensored - should I be looking at going sensored?

Hi Mate,

I have been running a Tekin RX8 and T8 1900kv motor.

Wicked combination for 1/8th electric.

Also the Vampire 1/8 speedo and motor looks interesting but nothing released yet.

LRP Dynamic 1700kv with iX8 esc = Can get from SMD Direct

Hobbywing 1800kv with Hobbywing 150A Speedo = Can get from Hong Kong on eBay

What are you looking at doing?
Why do you want to swap if its working well?

Im running the hobbywing 150a and a 2200kv seneorless motor, they work well.

I've found that sensorless seems to need much more setting up to get a clean, smooth start off the line, or accelerating from (very) low speed. Sensored just goes, how ever you calibrate it.
Losing the sensor cable half way through a run is very noticeable.
But if you have the time to set it up, I doubt it makes a significant difference, and they are a lot cheaper.
