True Sensored Control for Ascent-18 Crawlers
Introducing the next evolution of MicroModo. The Furitek MicroModo SENSORED 2026 Brushless Outrunner Power System is a complete redesign of our original MicroModo concept—now powered by a true sensored outrunner system that eliminates cogging, dramatically improves startup precision, and delivers absolute low-speed control for serious Ascent-18 crawling. This is not an incremental update. This is the moment MicroModo transitions from sensorless brushless to true sensored performance.
True Sensored Outrunner System
Unlike the previous sensorless MicroModo generation, the SENSORED 2026 system uses real rotor position feedback, allowing the ESC to precisely control motor timing from zero RPM. The result is instant startup, zero cogging, and unmatched throttle resolution—exactly where Ascent-18 crawlers demand it most.
MicroPython Sensored ESC + MicroKomodo Sensored Outrunner Motor
This system pairs the MicroPython Sensored ESC with the MicroKomodo Sensored Outrunner Motor, engineered as a tightly integrated power unit. ESC and motor communicate continuously, maintaining smooth torque delivery even at ultra-low crawling speeds.
Designed Specifically for Ascent-18
Every aspect of the MicroModo SENSORED system is tailored for the compact Ascent-18 chassis: Optimized footprint for tight installations, clean upward wire layout to maximize usable space, perfect balance of torque, efficiency, and thermal stability
Why Sensored Matters (Sensorless vs Sensored)
The original MicroModo sensorless system delivered strong brushless performance. However, sensorless control inevitably struggles during the transition from ultra-low speed to normal operating RPM—where rotor position must be estimated instead of measured. This often results in momentary hesitation, torque ripple, or uneven throttle response as the ESC switches control modes.
MicroModo SENSORED changes this completely.
With true rotor position feedback, the MicroModo SENSORED system maintains continuous, precise control from super-low speed through normal driving speeds, without any disruption or handoff artifacts. Seamless transition from crawl speed to normal speed. No torque drop or hesitation during acceleration. No control handoff artifacts. Perfectly linear throttle response across the entire RPM range
The Result
Movement feels natural, predictable, and mechanically connected—exactly what a crawler demands when navigating technical terrain. This is the difference between “good brushless performance” and true crawler-grade sensored brushless control.
Why Choose MicroModo SENSORED
If you’re building an Ascent-18 crawler and want absolute control at the slowest speeds, this is the system designed for you. The MicroModo SENSORED 2026 replaces the limitations of sensorless brushless with true sensored precision, delivering the smoothest, most controllable Micro crawler power system Furitek has ever made.
