Kyosho R246-8583 190mm Silicone Sensor Cable

This is a 190mm silicone sensor cable for use between a sensored brushless motor and a sensored speed controller.

The sensor cable carries the rotor position signal that tells the ESC exactly where the motor is at any instant, which is what gives a sensored system its smooth, torquey response from a standing start and its clean low-speed control. That makes cable condition more important than it looks. A damaged or intermittent sensor lead causes stuttering, cogging on launch, and in some cases a total loss of sensored operation as the ESC falls back to sensorless mode mid-race.

Silicone insulation is the reason to choose this cable over a hard-jacketed one. It stays flexible in cold weather, tolerates the heat radiating off the motor can, and routes cleanly around a tight chassis without putting strain on the connectors at either end.

At 190mm this length suits most 1/10 scale layouts where the motor and ESC sit relatively close together. A longer 210mm version is available if your ESC is mounted further away. This is an optional accessory rather than a kit replacement part.
