We are pleased to share with you that all Mamba XLX w/2028-800kV Combo (Motor and ESC) as well as 2028-800kV (motor only), will now ship as a SENSORED BRUSHLESS 2028-800kV motor versus the original SENSORLESS BRUSHLESS 2028-800kV motor.
This decision reflects our intent to update our full motor line to brushless sensored. Due to this change, new SKU and part numbers have been assigned. PRICING REMAINS AS IS.
