It's kind of pricey, but - looks well made and durable with lots of metal in the construction (hardened steel axles, metal gearing in transmission, aluminum suspension elements, steel in parts of the frame), plus it even has a high/low gearing option in the transmission - lets you change gears via servo.. </div><div>Axial also offers lots of cool looking bodies built on that chassis - my imagination is running wild with robotic kit-bashing one of these trucks <a href="http://www.axialracing.com/t/vehicles/scx10?page=1">http://www.axialracing.com/t/vehicles/scx10?page=1</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>Also - I've heard about sensored brushless motors and ESC, e.g. from Castle Creations (Thanks Jesse B from your recent presentation to DPRG!). For example, this "sensored brushless motor and ESC" combo apparently has such ability <a href="https://www.castlecreations.com/en/rock-crawler/copperhead-10-sensored-esc-crawler-edition-w-1406-2280kv-sensored-motor-010-0166-06">https://www.castlecreations.com/en/rock-crawler/copperhead-10-sensored-esc-crawler-edition-w-1406-2280kv-sensored-motor-010-0166-06</a> </div><div><br></div><div>But it seems like the brushless motor sensors are mostly used at startup and low motor speeds. And in that Castle Creations example, it only appears to provide RPM measurements after a run - seems you have to download from a data logger built into the ESC. By any chance, has anybody seen (1/10 sized) options like this, but which can output motor RPM sensor data real-time, e.g. via I2C, SPI or UART?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks!<br></div><div>Carl</div><div><br></div></div>
