The motor would be three phase. I don't have a real need for either 6-step or sinusoidal but low speed control is a concern so sinusoidal would be nice. There would be an encoder on the motor.
I see only 3 wires coming out of that motor. Where's the encoder?

I will be running the output through a gearbox and each wheel will be independent. There is a chance I will be using mecanum wheels so precision on the level of servo drivers would be ideal.
Sensorless motors are fine for propellers on hobby RC planes, but not so much for your app (a ground vehicle) which requires high start-up torque and acceleration.
