I doubt the car will even run as it will jut Cog all the time hence why u need the sensor wire connected

I think it will run.
My sensor lead used to fall out sometimes while driving - never even noticed the difference (but then I am pants and wouldnt notice something like that!) :)
Although it will run, its probably best not to do it if you can help it.

i had an incident a few months back where my sensor lead got ripped out during a race, yet the car carried on to run but just not as quick as it was with the lead in haha.
i was running SP v3 motor and a tekin rs pro esc at the time

could be wrong but the Speed passion GT and LPF are both sensored and sensorless meaning that can run it in either mode.
the advantage of running it in Sensored mode is that if the cable comes unplugged it automatically reverts to sensorless.
don't ask me why don't people run sensorless all the time then....I don't know

Sensored mode is a lot smoother than sensorless. Unplug it and try it ray
