Why not...if you can envisage it working you can make it work 

Thanks Kevan,

I hope my ‘homework’ on this was done correctly - putting a correctly orientated diametric magnet ring onto the MB01 motor shaft appears to be the easiest starting point for ‘sensorising’ the motor. These magnets have an outer diameter of 6mm, an inner diameter of 3mm and a thickness of 1mm… so they should be perfect… and very importantly… they exist!

The plan is to fit the magnet rings onto a 2mm motor shaft, using a hollow liner which should still leave room on the motor shaft for the pinion to be positioned for correct meshing.

This approach might create a sensored MB01, or maybe not, but for certain I will learn more about the design of sensors for brushless motors. Given my belief that sensored brushless motors will be highly useful for future digital slotcars, some initial design learning can only be a good thing.
