checked it out too, and it is a 4 pole, 12 slot motor. should be a hoot..

I guess tower has it worng huh.

Ah, that explains. I was kind of surprised since 4-pole was kind of revolutionary so I couldn't imagine an actual 12-pole setup in a motor the same size.

It is not just tower, but all over eBay with that bad info... on the plus side though I have heard that motor runs like a scalded cat.. not seen it first hand or anything, but the rumors are good.

For every mag their r 3 coils (so far that's the design in rc)
So a
single mag rotor as a novak 540 ballistic has 3 stator coils
Double mag rotor as a hacker air plain motor has 6 stator coils
4 pole rotor as in a tekin pro 4 has 12 stator coils....
Hope this helps .
Fyi for every style the esc sees the rpm multiplied by the poles which is a problem.with higher kv motors

I have run the pro4 in my friend's scte and it has power to spare! It will be enough for whatever you need it for.

For the Hobbywing 4-pole motors, you will want the 4700kv for trucks like the Losi scte. For the Durango and Associated, the 4000kv works great and has more than enough power.

this thing was expensive (I bought it at tower using my super saver discounts)

Moogumby - how many runs were on it? what were you running it in? how may cells?

I have the viper vx4. It seems like a nice motor so far
