For what it's worth, I run a sensored 9.5T motor in my buggy. I don't connect the sensor. I use a higher turn motor (or smaller Kv) than the guys at the track. I also know that many of them dial the speed back either through their ESC or their Tx to maintain control.

I think they would argue that, although they don't use the full speed available, it's there if they need/want it. I went with the view of having only as much speed as I can handle. I may be short sighted but it's working for the moment - and I still break parts with the speed I have.

I think you understand more than you give yourself credit for...
