https://www.hobbywingdirect.com/collections/quicrun-wp-10bl120-system-g2 <-- MSRP: $70!? Might be a great one for the 1/10th scales.

I got excited about a waterproof 10BL120 but it looks like they removed the sensor capability. Am I missing something?

I noticed that too. Appears it is like the WP10BL60 to the 10BL60SD.

So the 10bl120 has basically been refreshed to become the old max10 sct but with a slightly higher BEC? I mean it's basically the dimensions, similar weight, and specs as the former max10 sct. Same cost basically.

Max10 SCT (non sensored) >> Max10 G2 (sensored)
10bl120 (sensored) >> 10bl120 G2 (non sensored)

Am I the only one who wants to know why hobbywing needed to pull a swap-a-roo here...?

I agree it does seem odd to add water proofing and remove sensor capabilities... On the plus side it might be great replacement combo's for the 1/10th scale line?

90$ for the 3660 3160kv combo:

HW just announced a 5690 motor too, available for preorder. I was kinda disappointed they dropped the max5/5687 combo. This should be a good alternative (5690)?
