I've seen a few guys run em in Palm Dale CA, its a small parking lot set up but they were very happy campers. I'm running a 4 pole castle 3800 in my 4x4 short course, its awesome, the 2400 was way too much torque, the 3800 is an all around great motor for all applications.

We do offer a rotor for the Pro4 motors with a 1/8" shaft. TT2516

We are planning to offer a PRO2 version of the 4pole Pro4 motor that is designed more for lighter cars that can use torque like 1/10 4wd and heavy 1/10 2wd SC trucks.

Used to run 4 pole in the mid 90's and asked the manufacturers to make them again since Aveox stopped making motors for the R/C industry. Kind of funny how they are becoming popular again. I went as far as modifying one of my old sensored Aveox motor to run the current ESCs. They are ROAR legal as mentioned by a ROAR director's in a post somewhere in this forum.

Is this the Gen2 Redline that was announced some time ago but hasn't been released? Or something entirely different?

Hello, here a friend make a conversion kit for a Nitro touring cars to electric, for now for a Xray NT1 and Kiosho RRR, this cars weight about 1700-1800g , and i plan to mount one of this motors Pro4 or Revtech, i think the extra power will work very well with this extra weight, but i donīt have any experiencie with this kind of 4 pole motors, i plan to run it with SC esc, Xerun SCT or 1/8 esc, type RX8, with 2S or 3S, but at first i like to test with 2S.

What do you think about, i need all help, is very appreciate.
This is the web of my friend: http://nuke.turboracingrc.es/

Greetings.

No, the Gen2 are 2-pole and will be replacing the silver can Redlines we offer currently. The Pro2 motor is a 4-pole with a 1/8" shaft and higher kVs than the Pro4 motor. Will be interesting to see where it goes..

Indeed! I assume the pro2 will have slightly less torque? I had the pro4 4600 in my sc10 4x4. The tq was unreal in that thing. I cant imagine trying to get traction in a 2wd vehicle with the same power.
